The After School Program sponsored by the Douglas County School System is designed to provide adult supervision, in a group setting, to students whose parents work outside the home after school hours. The After School Program does not provide educational services to students and is not intended to be an educational program. Rather, group activities in which students will participate include things such as movement, homework, computer games and story time. Eligible students with disabilities who enroll in the After School Program will be provided reasonable accommodations and/or modifications in order to afford them meaningful access to the program. Accommodations are considered reasonable where the provision of them would not result in a fundamental alteration of the program or the services offered by the program or create an undue financial or administrative burden.
Mission
The mission for the Douglas County School System After School Program (ASP) is to provide a safe, relaxed, and enjoyable environment for its students. The ASP provides enrichment activities, social interaction with peers, and homework help in a well-supervised, structured setting.
After School Hours
The ASP is open from 2:45 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. We are closed on holidays, teacher workdays, conference days, early release days, and summer break. Students must be picked up no later than 6:00 p.m. There is also a late fee of $1.00 per minute, per family after 6:00 p.m. After the third late pick up the student will be withdrawn from the program for the remainder of the school year. The parent will be allowed to re-register their child back in the After School Program for the next school year.
Program Length
All elementary and middle schools plan to start their ASP on the first day of school. The ASP concludes during the last week of the school year. The school determines the exact date.
Discipline Procedures
The After School Program follows the discipline policies of the Douglas County School System. Each school will establish specific discipline guidelines at their school site. Students may be removed from ASP depending upon the offense. Once the student reaches their third offense, the student will be dismissed from the After School Program for the remainder of the school year. The parent will be allowed to re-register their child back in the After School Program for the next school year.
Program Fees
$10.00 registration fee per family
After School Program: 2:45 p.m. - 6:00 p.m: $10.00 per day, per child (regardless of amount of time in the program). This fee is due at the beginning of each week and can be placed in either of our drop box locations: gym and the front office.
Scholarships
As funds are available, partial scholarships for the ASP may be available to students based upon need. Please contact Mr. Bowen the Director of ASP for an application. All families must pay the $10.00 registration fee regardless of financial status.
Schedule of Activities
Students will receive a hot or cold meal each day before starting on their homework. Instructors work with students to complete daily assignments, assigned homework and other projects. Activities may include: cultural activities, enrichment projects, violence prevention programs, drug awareness activities, community service projects, and technology exposure. As students are checked out from the After School Program, will receive a nutritious snack to take with them.
The Douglas County School System After School Program is made possible through the generous support of student tuition, and grants from United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta and Communities in Schools of Georgia.
We look forward to an AWESOME After School year with your child. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns.
