Come Back Kids program moves to a new location in Turlock
Upcoming orientation scheduled for Jan. 30
Come Back Kids 1
Ramina Simon and Pedro Rios are the two Come Back Kids teachers currently working at the programs new location in Turlock. The two teachers are helping about 20 to 30 students at the Turlock site earn their high school diploma.
With a new location in Turlock, the Come Back Kids Charter School Program is hoping that increased accessibility and a larger space will encourage more people who — for whatever reason — were unable to complete high school to “come back” and finally earn their diploma. Offered through the Stanislaus County Office of Education, Come Back Kids is a free high school academic program designed for adults that want to return and earn their diploma in order to move onto college, technical school or the workforce. The program, which is both flexible and customized, follows a community college model where students are enrolled in courses for identified individual areas of need.
