The brainstorm of Saturday Cafe came about due to the learning loss incurred by students since last March and the limited access to the internet many families face. The division wanted students to be able to access the internet and receive small group or individual instruction at each school on Saturday mornings. Many parents in the county have difficulty accessing the internet thus creating an equity issue. Improving student achievement is a priority for our division, thus, Saturday Cafe gives students the opportunity to engage in reteaching of skills they may have not yet mastered. In addition, parents and the community have the opportunity to access the internet and obtain academic support in any needed areas in which to support their students. We have found this opportunity has supported students in receiving what they need to be academically successful in their classes while serving a community need for internet access.
