Afterschool Enrichment Program SiteCindy Greene, Afterschool DirectorGENERAL INFORMATIONThe purpose of ASEP is to serve the school and community population by providing quality education, recreational, and social programs for all age groups K-5. The safety and security of children during the afterschool hours is a primary purpose of the program.
Tuition fees fund the cost of the operation of the school facilities during the extended hours. The Afterschool Enrichment Program is offered to students in grades K-5. Students remain at their regular elementary schools to participate in the program. The program stimulates student’s social, physical and intellectual abilities through participation with their school peers. This program is designed for students who are able to participate independently in age-appropriate activities within a 1:17 (K-2) and 1:21 (3-5) teacher/student ratio.
The hours of the Afterschool Enrichment Program are Monday through Friday, beginning at 2:30 P.M. and ending at 6:00 P.M. The program does not operate during weekends, school vacation, and holiday breaks. When schools are closed due to inclement weather, students should be picked up immediately. The program is open on Early Release Days, which are scheduled on the Henry County School calendar.
In addition, all Henry County Schools Afterschool Enrichment Programs are registered with Bright from the Start, a Department of the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning. The school system programs are exempt from licensure and letters of exemption are posted in the afterschool area.
