Click here for The HPKCC Youth Programs Database: afterschool and out-of-school activities and school partners and schools programs, a large number of which have asked or consented to partner with the HPKCC Schools Committee in having their contact information and a brief description placed on our Database. This file is ALPHABETICAL (but most University of Chicago programs are grouped together). This form of the database is biased toward arts, science, academic/tutoring, sports and similar programs. The expanded database (next paragraph) has a broader focus with more social experience and service providers. Also, see below other directories in hydepark.org that can help in identifying and locating comprehensive services and resources for youth and families on the South Side, and see other online databases of youth programs. Please feel free to copy, print and disseminate! (Please note this is an Adobe Acrobat Reader (.PDF) file, derived from an Access spreadsheet. (Not all fields show-- if you need a zip code, age target of a program, or estimates of what (some) cost, contact us at hpkcc@aol.com - Gary Ossewaarde.) (If you do not have the free Acrobat Reader, click here to download.) Our document has nearly 50 pages.... Suggested: finding and either printing the page(s) of interest or hand-copying an entry needed.)

DONATE NOW TO THE SUPPLY DRIVE FOR HYDE PARK AND KENWOOD SCHOOLS- Back to School Supply Drive:
With tighter budgets than ever, many local public schools will be starting the school year with little or no money in their budgets for school supplies. Since many of our schools serve students who are homeless or low income, this places an even greater burden on their families. OVER $2,000 GIVEN SO FAR.To help meet this need, the HPKCC Schools Committee is organizing a Back To School supply drive. For a $10 donation you can provide pencils, pens, markers, crayons, spiral notebook and filler paper for one child.
The committee will accept monetary donations through Wednesday, September 5th.

VISION OF THE CPS ARTS EDUCATION PLAN
The guiding principle of the CPS Arts Education Plan is that every CPS student will receive ongoing high quality arts education both in and out of the classroom.
Through a comprehensive and sequential study of visual art, music, dance, and theater from K-12th grade, all Chicago Public Schools students will have the opportunity to develop into innovative thinkers and creative problem solvers who are capable of expressing themselves, understanding others and contributing to their city’s culture and economy for years to come.
The CPS Arts Education Plan honors and promotes the critical role of certified arts instructors as anchors for building robust arts programs and creating strong arts partnerships in schools.
Five Guiding Principles
¦Provide equity and access to arts learning for not just some, but all children
¦Return the arts to the ongoing education and school day experience
¦Provide quality sequential arts instruction
¦Prepare young people for life and work in the 21st Century
¦Support increasing high school graduation ratesTHE CPS ARTS EDUCATION PLAN STANDARDS
The CPS Arts Education Plan will focus on creating goals that will elevate the following six standards in the arts:
¦District Arts Policy
¦In School and Out of School Arts Guidelines
¦Arts Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment
¦Data and Strategy
¦Arts Partnerships & Collaborations
¦Professional Development in the Arts
