Ford's After School Program

Welcome to Ford's After School Program.

We are dedicated to creating a fun, safe learning environment for our students who choose our after school care. Inside and outside activities are planned and supervised along with time for study.  Take advantage of this wonderful program.

2006-2007 After School Information

The After-School Program (ASP) operates each school day from 2:20 to 6:00 p.m. and is a PREPAID program.  The cost is $35.00 per week or $7.00 per day per child plus a yearly $10 registration fee.  Students receive a snack and there is a mandatory homework period.  Planned activities involve art, music, games, and athletics.  The program does not operate on teacher workdays.  Payment for students are due in advance on the of the school week.  Students must be signed out daily by an adult designated on the student’s registration card.  A late pick-up fee of $1.00/minute will be assessed for each child picked up after 6:00 p.m.   Parents must give prior written permission for their children to stay in the After-School Program. 

Payment should be made out to Ford Elementary ASP and put in the ASP box located in the main office by 9:00 a.m. Students will not be allowed to attend ASP unless they are prepaid.   This will be strictly enforced per Cobb County policy. Money cannot be accepted at the ASP sign-out desk.  The student’s name and teacher should be placed on the check or payment envelope. 

Only people designated on the registration form will be allowed to pick up students.  Identification will be required.  Your child must be signed out at the desk every day.

Parents must give prior written permission for their children to stay in the ASP. No verbal phone verifications or faxes will be accepted during the day; however, parents may come by the school in person to give written permission for that day.

The After-School Program is a privilege and students are expected to behave properly.   The same behavior expectations apply in the After-School Program as during the regular school day.  Inappropriate behavior may result in suspension or withdrawal of a student. 

Students may be suspended or withdrawn from the After-School Program for the following reasons: 

                   Excessive late pick-up

                   Discipline problems

                   Nonpayment of tuition and/or late pick-up fees

                   Uncooperative parents

If school closes because of inclement weather or any other reasons, the After-School Program will also close.  In this case, instructions will be followed from the inclement weather form given to the student’s homeroom teacher.

 If students go to scouts, chorus, or any other school sponsored activity, be sure they report to ASP first for roll call if they are staying in ASP after their activity. 

Thanks for support our after school program!
