21st CCLC Centers and Programs provide academic enrichment opportunities during non-school hours for students attending high-poverty and/or low performing schools. The programs aim to help students meet state and local standards in core academic areas, math and reading. Students are offered a broad array of enrichment activities that supplement regular academic offerings. 21st CCLC programs also provide literacy and other services to the families of participating students in the community.
The purpose of 21st CCLC at CPPS is to promote life skills, a growth mindset, and socially & academically successful students by utilizing community engagement, school support, and innovative student-driven programs during out of school time.

The 21st Century program at Davis Elementary is proud to offer Ignite After-School for 1st - 5th grade students! The Ignite program seeks to energize your child's passion for learning by engaging kids in fun STEM, art, physical education and leadership opportunities. We also seek to give your student the chance to practice social-emotional skills, team-building and autonomy in their education.
Applicants interested in a waitlist or enrollment in Spring session should contact Nicholas Walsh at nwalsh@cpps.org
"When the fire of your soul ignites the passion within your heart, don't view it as an opportunity for success or failure, view it as an open door for miracles."

The Ignite After-School program runs Monday through Thursday every week from 2:40 until 5:00PM for students in 1st - 5th grade at Davis Elementary. The program focuses on skill-building, social-emotional learning, academic intervention, and educational enrichment. Students explore art, sports, science, finances, crafts, practical skills, and much more!
In order to allow more students to attend the program, we offer after-school enrichment in 3 sessions throughout the school year: Fall, Winter, and Spring. We ask that students attend 1 session per year so that more students have the chance to attend. For extenuating circumstances where you wish your child to attend more sessions, please contact Nicholas Walsh to discuss options.
Fall Session Dates: September 9th - November 26th
Winter Session Dates: December 2nd - March 6th
Spring Session Dates: March 10th - May 29th
Q: I filled out the online application, what now?
A: 21st Century staff will be in contact with you soon to inform you of the state of your application. Filling out the form does not guarantee enrollment for your child. Space is limited, and depending on the state of enrollment, your student may be placed on a waitlist, or offered enrollment for subsequent sessions.
Q: Is there a meal provided for students?
A: A nutritional after-school snack is provided by the wonderful staff in the Davis kitchens for after-school students. It is not a full meal, but intended to help bridge the gap between the end of the school day and dinner at home. Parents are also welcome to pack extra snack for their student to eat if desired.
Q: What if there's no school, or a half day?
A: If there is no school or a half day, then Ignite will not meet that day. This also applies to inclement weather (snow, strong wind, storms, etc.)
Q: What if I need to pick up my child early?
A: Please let Nick Walsh know before 12:30PM of the day when you will need to pick up your child, and we will have them ready to go! You can do this via phone call, email, or especially the Ignite After-School Remind chat.
Q: Is bussing available?
A: Yes! But please note that the busses will only transport students within the College Place School District boundaries.
Q: How much does the program cost?
A: Absolutely nothing! 21st Century is a federal program that offers services to families free of cost.
Q: What about Chess Program?
A: Our Chess Program meets Friday mornings at 7:40, all year long! If your student is interested in learning or improving in chess, then make sure to request a registration form from Nick Walsh. Space is limited.
