After School Enrichment Program (ASEP)

 Purpose

21st Century Community Learning Centers

This program supports the creation of community learning centers that provide academic enrichment opportunities during non-school hours for children, particularly students who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools. The program helps students meet state and local student standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math; offers students a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs; and offers literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children.  

Goals

• Provide regularly scheduled enrichment activities
• Improve student behavior during the regular school day (fewer office referrals)
• Increase student attendance in school
• Improve academic achievement (quarterly grades, DIBELS, ARMT)

 Registration and Tuition

Students will need to have a current registration on file for them to stay in the 2012-2013 program.

Students will begin the Monday AFTER they turn in a registration form. There are 15 openings per class. If you are not one of the first 15 accepted into registration for a class, your child will be put on a waiting list. You will be notified by phone if an opening becomes available during the year. Students are asked to be present 80% of the time.

Tuition is $10.00 a week. You may pay $40.00 at the 1^st of the month or pay $10.00 weekly.  This is to be sent to the Program Director at the first of the month or on Mondays. Elementary students may give this to homeroom teachers and they will send it to the Program Director. High School students may give this directly to the Program Director (Mrs. D. Price).

If you would like to be considered for a reduced payment, please send a letter stating your request to the Program Director at the time of registration. You will need to send payment until the committee meets and determines scholarships/reduced payment status. You will be notified in writing, if your request is granted.
