LSF SPARK Program - Remote Schooling Solution

Introducing the LSF SPARK School Year Program

Lakeshore Sport & Fitness has built a remote learning program to support Chicago area families throughout this uncertain and unique school year. This program is available exclusively to LSF members.

We ask families to commit to a 2-day (Tuesday/Thursday), 3-day (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) or 5-day (Monday-Friday) schedule to ensure we group the same kids and staff together weekly.

This remote learning program will initially run from September 8th through November 6th and will continue further, if needed. The SPARK program includes the following:

  • Programming Monday-Friday from 9:00am-3:00pm. We will offer recreational enrichment programming from 3:00-5:00pm for an additional fee.
  • Children will be grouped into cohorts of 10 kids. These groups can be identified by you or LSF will group kids by grade levels.
  • LSF will provide homework support, space for e-learning calls, and help kids overall to succeed in completing and understanding assignments provided by their school teacher. There will be education professionals to ensure proper support throughout the program.
  • LSF will provide classroom spaces that are safe for each group. We are converting two tennis courts into classroom spaces with tables, chairs, partitions, power, and upgraded wifi support. As we learn what other equipment is needed, such as printers, we will work to provide these as well.
  • Parents will provide the necessary technology and details from teachers regarding assignments. Our team will help kids log in, participate, and support any needs throughout classroom calls and meetings.
  • Once we understand each cohort’s daily schedule from their teachers, we will also build in brain breaks, time for social-emotional learning, and recreational activities.
  • LSF will provide a snack and lunch daily. Outside food is prohibited.
  • All students & staff must wear masks throughout the entire day.
  • Private tutoring is available at $25 per 30-minute session. The subject area(s) in which the tutor focuses will be decided by the parent. We will find a time throughout the week that works for the student’s schedule. Initially, we need to focus on getting cohorts built and then will work to coordinate details for tutoring.
