We want to thank you for choosing the ASES Program at Prospect Avenue School. This enrichment program is different than a typical "child care" program.
The most significant difference is that the funding is from the State of California and comes with many "Funding Terms and Conditions" that all of us must follow to make sure that we can continue to offer this program. The program during the school year is divided into two (2) parts: before school and afterschool. You may sign up for one or both. Each come with separate guidelines. Basically, your
child is to attend the before school program from 6:30 a.m. until school starts and the afterschool program from school dismissal until 6:00 p.m. Your child should also attend every day that he/she attends school. Any deviation from these hours or days requires that you complete a Late Arrival Authorization Form or an Early Dismissal Authorization Form. It also requires that you fill in the Early Release or Late Arrival Code on the sign in or out sheet. The supplemental program for ASES is provided when school is not in session. You must sign up separately to participate in any of the supplemental programs offered. During school breaks and vacations, the morning supplemental program is offered from 6:30 to 8:30 a.m. and the afternoon supplemental program is offered from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Again, the intent of the state legislation is that children signed up for the this program should attend the supplemental program every day and for the full range of hours offered. Any deviation requires the appropriate Authorization Form be completed. We do offer an extended care program if you need care beyond 1:00 p.m. Since these extended hours are outside of the grant, there is a charge. Our program often has a waiting list of parents who want their child to attend. In an effort to meet our attendance numbers, we must make sure that our families are meeting their requirements for their child's attendance. Please make sure that you are following the attendance requirements. Children currently enrolled in the program who are not meeting the attendance guidelines may be terminated from the program. You will be advised before this happens.
