Neighborhood Extended Learning Program (NELP)
The elementary Neighborhood Extended Learning Program (NELP) operates in every elementary school in the district.  NELP provides direct specialized service, as a pull-out program, to identified students in at least the three highest grade levels for a minimum of three hours per week.  NELP teachers provide an interdisciplinary approach by integrating multiple subjects through thematic instruction. Student learning is extended from and beyond the core curriculum through acceleration, complexity and depth in curriculum instruction.
