Partnership with Aurora Public Schools

  1. Updates

Aurora Public Schools is partnering with Playworks to increase opportunities for kids to gain critical skills through play. This new support is available to elementary school students at 32 elementary schools throughout the district.

This new support will help teachers, address the trauma kids have experienced during the pandemic, support making up for lost learning by making recess a valuable contribution to the school day, and supporting kids with their skill development and physical activity.
