After-School Exploration (ASE)

The District offers a 5-day/week After School Exploration (ASE) program at each of our schools for students in Grades K-8. This program will provide students with an extended after-school experience from Monday to Friday which includes academic support, enrichment activities (an existing club everyday), and socialization. 

The ASE fee is $140 per student per session (Fall, Winter Spring). Fees are applied after confirmations are sent.  If your family enrolls for the full year, the total cost is $420 payable in 3 installments of $140.  The Winter Session payment is due by January 17, 2025.  A limited amount of scholarships are available.  Payments can be completed through the Parent Portal, or by paying directly at the school or District Office.  There is a bus available at the dismissal, and the fee for this service is included in the program cost.  

Registration for After School Exploration (ASE) opens on January 7, 2025 at 9:00 AM and closes on Wednesday, January 8 at 12:00 PM (noon). Priority is given to students who can attend all five days of programming.  You will sign up through Infinite Campus.  After-School Exploration registration takes place in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Please be sure to follow the ASE step-by-step here to register for a 5-day/week program

Please contact our Student Activities Coordinator Alexandra Gamboa Forero at gamboaforerod@skokie69.net if you have any questions.
