REGISTRATION

Tuesdays and Thursdays Feb. 18 - April 16

There will be NO classes the week of Spring Break.

The After School Enrichment (ASE) program brings a variety of hour long classes from the community to Vance where kids can participate directly after school. These introduce students to a wide variety of experiences to spark their imaginations and inspire their growth. Parents, teachers, neighbors, if you have a hobby or skill you want to share with a great group of kids, we're always open to new class ideas. Email sbonomi@unca.edu to pitch yours today!

After dismissal, students meet their ASE teacher in the cafeteria (younger students are escorted by teaching assistants). Please give them a snack to enjoy while they socialize for a few minutes before heading to their ASE activity.

Students are dismissed at 3:45 from the upper auditorium doors, by the car drop-off/pick-up lane. The program Supervisor will release individual students as their parent or guardian arrives. Students may be permitted to walk home alone with a written note from their parent/guardian.

ASE has an open door policy of welcoming all students. We offer scholarships to meet the needs of our families. If your family is able to pay a slightly higher per-class price, we encourage you to do so in order to support participation by all. The regular price for one ASE class is now $65.
