CCSD's After-School Program (ASP) is designed to provide a safe, relaxed, and enjoyable environment for elementary school students who might otherwise be left at home unsupervised during the afternoon. The program operates at all 14 of our elementary schools from school dismissal until 6 p.m. on the days school is in session. Activities include sports, recreation, arts and crafts, study and homework time, and a snack.
The cost of the program is $8 per day per child and $6 per day for each additional child in a family. There is also a $10-per-student registration fee for ASP, with a family maximum of $20. Schools will have an ASP registration table set up at their back-to-school open-house event next week.
