After School Program for Elementary Schools
The After School Program for elementary sites is comprised of After School Education and Safety (ASES) and Bridge to Learning (BTL). These programs are available Monday through Friday, including all minimum days, immediately after school until 6:00 pm.
ASES provides recreation and enrichment activities Monday-Friday on regular school days with few exceptions from the time school is dismissed until 6:00 p.m.
BTL provides the concentrated academic intervention instruction during the week.
Who can participate?
All students from kindergarten through 6th grade in elementary school are eligible to attend the Elementary After School Program. Students are provided a snack, immediately followed by the academic session. During this time, students that do not need intervention support are given time to work on homework assignments and receive academic enrichment activities aligned to the regular school day. Students enrolled in intervention will receive extra support in academics.
