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 $520 payable in 3 installments of $140.  The Fall Session payment is due by September 27, 2024.  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 September 16th at 9:00 a.m. and closes on Friday, September 20th at 12 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
