HES After School Program

Name of Club/Organization: HES After School Program

The Houston County After-School Program (ASP) began in 1995 as a pilot program at Russell Elementary. The main reason for beginning the program was to provide supervision for children enrolled in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade from the time school regularly closes until the end of their parents' workday (not later than 6:00 p.m.). Children participating in the program do homework and engage in recreational and enrichment activities. The children are supervised by certified and non-certified school personnel.

To be eligible to attend and remain in the ASP, students:

*Must function in the program under established guidelines (class size, activities, etc.)

*Must follow the rules relating to behavior

*Must not be a danger to self or others

*Must function with reasonable accommodations within the resources available
