What is LEAPS?
CMS and DMS have been awarded this grant to provide additional learning opportunities and enrichment
experiences for their students. LEAPS (Learning and Engagement After-school Programs) provides
students with additional opportunities for learning, enrichment, academic support, and engaging activities
outside of the regular school day. The program is designed to give students a safe and supportive place to
learn, build relationships, explore interests, and participate in meaningful activities before and/or after
school.
