The P-16 Program - Caldwell

P16 is an evidence-based, multifaceted program to prepare Caldwell School District students for postsecondary education and provide guidance toward a meaningful career.
 

Continuum of Improved Learning 

Through multiple programs spread across a continuum of education, P16 inspires, educates and motivates children by instilling the belief they can succeed: 

• Preschool Program:  To date, more than 150 children have been served at Lincoln and Wilson elementary schools. The overall goal is to increase the amount of those receiving early-childhood education to provide an opportunity for all CSD students entering kindergarten to learn skills to prepare for success through this program.
• Out of School Learning Program:  This program gives children the opportunity to build meaningful relationships, improve health and well-being, receive academic support and develop a vision for a better future. It is available after school and during breaks, service days and the summer at Washington and Lewis and Clark elementary schools. Additionally, school-age coordinators have provided more than 650 hours of school-day support.
• Career Aspirations Program:  A CAP liaison at each of the 11 schools in the district leads postsecondary education discussions and related activities. Examples include higher education campus field trips, parent events/information nights and one-on-one career planning.
