Important Information about After School Enrichment Programs (ASEP) classes at Ortega:
Before registering your student, please study our policies below:
1. After registering your student, all communication regarding the individual class will be handled directly by the provider.
2. Please notify your child’s teacher and their aftercare program of their enrollment in an ASEP class. While teachers may assist with transitions between programs, it is ultimately the participating family's responsibility to plan for these transitions.
3. Students in Kindergarten will be met at their regular classroom and walked to the location of the enrichment program. TK students enrolled in a Wednesday enrichment class will also be met at their regular classroom and walked to their enrichment class. After their enrichment class, TK and Kinder students will be walked to their onsite aftercare program (either Happy Hall or Boys and Girls Club) afterwards, if applicable.
4. Parents of TK students who register for a non-Wednesday class starting at 1:35 will be responsible for their child between the end of the school day at 12:30 and the start of the ASEP class at 1:35.
5. Wednesday classes that include both TK and Kindergarten students will begin with a 15-20 minute lunch period for students to eat food that they have brought from home. Students will be supervised during this time.
6. Non-Wednesday classes that include Grades 1-5 will begin at 2:35 with a supervised snack time for 1st-3rd graders. Instruction will begin at 2:55 when older students arrive.
7. ASEP providers are unable to provide transportation to offsite aftercare programs, including Boys and Girls Club for Grades 1-5.
For general questions about the ASEP program, please contact ASEP@ortegapto.org.
Scholarships Available!!! If there is an enrichment opportunity that you would love to provide for your child but it just isn’t in your family’s budget right now, please reach out to ASEP@ortegapto.org.
