    ASP will start on the first day of school at Prairie Crossing Elementary School and runs after school until 5:30 pm Monday through Friday. Students may attend the program daily or on scheduled days. Please note the specific days or "as needed" on the registration form. It is the parent's responsibility to inform the school if there is a change of scheduled days. A written note can be sent to the office or a phone call to the school by 2:00 pm MUST be done to change the students' school arrangements.

    Students may be picked up any time, but no later than 5:30 pm. Parents, parent-approved adults, or guardians must sign out the student from ASP. The name must be listed on the registration form or a note.

    As a reminder: the After-School Program will be closed if students are released early due to inclement weather or other emergencies.

    ASP fees are $4.00 per day or $20.00 per week per child. Students who qualify for the free-and-reduced lunch program may attend for $1.00 per day or $5.00 per week per child. Payment plans are available. Your payments are important to keep the program running.
