Participation in the program is at NO CHARGE to the family. According to AB1567, effective as of July 1, 2017, after school program
priority enrollment to students are given to those that are identified by the
program as homeless and foster youth. However, these students still have to
comply with the state guidelines of the program. Also, there are other target groups and criteria that may vary
depending on the need of the school site and their community. This year
our ASES program is currently open to English Learners, students who are in
need additional academic assistance through referral to SST and SIT.
The
ASES Program is an extension of the regular school day; however, it should not
be a repeat of it. ASES provides a safe physical and emotional environment that
offers and academic and enrichment elements.
1. An educational
and literacy element must provide an opportunity for homework assistance and
intervention designed to help students meet state standards in one or more of
the following core academic subjects: reading/language arts, mathematics,
history and social studies, or science. A broad range of activities may be
implemented based on local student needs and interests.
2. The educational
enrichment element must offer an array of additional services, programs, and
activities that reinforce and complement the school’s academic program. Educational
enrichment may include but is not limited to, positive youth development
strategies, recreation and prevention activities. Such activities might involve
the visual and performing arts, music, physical activity, health/nutrition
promotion, and general recreation; career awareness and work preparation
activities; community service-learning; and other youth development activities
based on student needs and interests. Enrichment activities may be
designed to enhance the core curriculum.
Students
enrolled in the ASES Program are expected to attend every day.
If a student has excessive unexcused absences and/or early releases he/she will
be dropped from the program as our funding is reliant on both enrollment and
attendance.
