HUB Phase I Was a Big Win for Families

As we enter Phase 2 of our Citywide Virtual Hub, we wanted to share our accomplishments from the summer. We are building on these to grow and #REACHforMore this fall, and continue to appreciate any support you can provide to make this work possible:

• We raised funding and distributed 200 laptops and over 60 hotspots to ensure every participating student had their own device and access to the Internet.

• We reached 200 students and their parents and caregivers with five weeks of high quality live instruction and support from 14 expert Oakland district and charter teachers.

• Attendance at the Hub for K-2 students was a remarkable 83% during the summer, versus only 35% attendance for OUSD during spring distance learning.

• Students grew about 2 SIPPS reading levels on average over the 5 weeks (a conservative estimate).

• 9 out of 10 parents said the Hub is having a positive impact on their lives and their child's education. 

• Organizations and individuals from across the country are seeking us out to learn how to replicate the hub in their cities and communities.
