Welcome to post #43 of Club at Home! Every day, we share content that brings Club programs, traditions, and staff into the homes of members. Our goal is to provide the same fun and educational activities to our Club members and families, even while Clubs are physically closed. 

Today, we check in with staff from our Clubs who share different activities for members across all age groups, including magazine art, homemade pickles, LEGOs, Theatre Thursday, Pokémon, and 3D printing.

Beginning this month, every BPS family will receive financial assistance for food under a program called Pandemic EBT (P-EBT). For more details, click here. 

For questions and information on resources available to Boston Public Schools families during the school closure, call the BPS Helpline at 617-635-8873, Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Help is available in Arabic, Cape Verdean Creole, Chinese, French, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Russian, Somali, Spanish, and Vietnamese. New BPS policies for learning at home went into effect May 4. You can find information about grading, attendance, schedules, and more in the letter sent to families and staff here.
