AFTER SCHOOL
The After School
Education and Safety (ASES) Program provides FREE
supervised activities until 6:00 PM for students at five (5) district middle schools.
The program operates every day
that school is in session during the regular school year.
After School Activities are also available after
summer school at two (2) middle schools, with pick-up time varying by site.
Due to high demand, the ASES Program is available
to students on a first-come, first-served basis. Since there is a limit to the number of
students who can be served, be sure to sign up
at the beginning of each school year!
The ASES Program provides a safe
and educationally enriching alternative for students during non-school
hours. Programs are created to provide literacy, academic
enrichment, and a safe, constructive alternative for students.
Activities vary by school, but
each program includes these components:
HOMEWORK TIME: Students have the opportunity to
complete their homework,
with supervision and assistance from teachers and trained staff.
ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES: Some schools offer
dance or drama, others offer crafts, but all have classes and activities designed to
explore learning opportunities that may not be available during the school day.
EDUCATIONAL & LITERACY ELEMENT: Schools provide tutoring
and/or homework assistance designed to help students in reading/language
arts, math, history, and social science. A broad range of
activities may be implemented based on student needs.
EDUCATIONAL ENRICHMENT ELEMENT: Offers an array of
services, programs, and activities that reinforce and complement the
school's academic program.
SPORTS AND GAMES: Every school has
an intramural sports program, open to all students after school. For those not interested in organized sports,
outdoor games and activities provide an outlet for all that middle school energy!
SOCIAL ACTIVITIES: Each site program is staffed by trained
personnel
who relate well to middle-school students.
Through directed activities, the staff
provides a safe, fun, and social environment. Activities are designed to appeal to
6th, 7th, and 8th graders while encouraging them to socialize with one
another as well as adults.
