After School Program
Welcome to the Clarkdale Elementary After School Program!
The After School Program (ASP) provides a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for the care of elementary students in the Cobb County School District who attend Face-to-Face instruction from after school until 6:00 PM each day school is in session, including early release days. The program does not operate on Student Holidays or District holidays. ASP will be closed upon the District’s announcement of inclement weather. ASP is a self-supporting program and receives no support from taxpayer funds.
ASP Highlights:
- $20 annual non-refundable registration fee
- $10 per day, per child, attendance billed weekly
- Register, pay, and manage accounts on any device
- Access invoices, receipts, and annual tax statements online
- Convenient, secure online payments are available
The Cobb County School District partners with Eleyo a user-friendly platform for online registration, account management, and payments. Online payments (credit card or ACH/electronic check) incur a 4.75% processing fee. Cash or check payments can be made at the school directly, with no processing fee. Please contact your school’s ASP Director for details.
Enrollment Information
All students must be enrolled in Eleyo before attending ASP.
The Enrolling Adult, as defined by Cobb County School District policy (the parent/guardian with whom the student resides and who enrolled the student in school), must create an Eleyo account and submit a separate contract for each student.
Note: Contracts submitted by anyone other than the Enrolling Adult will not be accepted.

Registration and Annual Fee
There is an annual non-refundable registration fee of $20 per child. This fee must be paid at the time the parent registers the child. Therefore, your child will be charged the registration fee ($20) plus daily fee ($10) on the first day he/she stays in the program. Total due for first stay is $30. If there are any changes to the information provided at the time of registration, it is the parent’s responsibility to inform ASP on the ASP Registration Form (especially concerning phone numbers and emergency contact).
Daily Fee
ASP IS A PREPAID CASH ONLY PROGRAM, THEREFORE PAYMENT IS DUE IN ADVANCE. The attendance cost of the program is $50 per week or $10 per day. This fee ensures that we will be able to operate efficiently, be self-sufficient, and provide the necessary teacher-to-student ratio. The daily tuition pays for all staffing needs, snacks, supplies, and games for the After School Program. Payments can be made using the brown payment envelope provided for payment each week, completing the necessary information. If the payment is for more than one student, please include names of all students and amounts you want deposited to each student’s account. Do not include other school money, such as lunch, PTA, or field trips. Change will not be given. All money will be credited to the student’s ASP account. The completed envelope should be placed in the BLACK BOX OUTSIDE THE OFFICE. At this time, we do not accept payments by check.
Outstanding Balances
Your child should have a positive account balance of at least $10 or more on the day you plan to send your child to ASP. As a courtesy, our clerks may contact parents whose balances are running low or delinquent; however, it is the parent’s responsibility to know their account balances and make payments in a timely manner. A student will be suspended from the program for non-payment of fees and other after-school childcare arrangements will need to be made. If you have questions about your account balance, please contact the ASP bookkeeper.
Late Pick-Ups
The ASP will end at 6:00 p.m. SHARP. There will be a late fee for late pick up. The fee will be charged as follows: 6:00 to 6:01 will be a $1 charge and $1 PER MINUTE THEREAFTER. A LATE FEE OF $1 per minute per child will be charged to the parent for every minute after 6 p.m. according to the school clock. Your child will be withdrawn from the program after the third late pick up, per Cobb County School District ASP program rules.
Behavior Expectations and Dismissal Procedures
- The same respectful behavior expected during the regular school day is expected during the ASP hours. ASP personnel will notify a parent if a problem occurs. All Cobb County School District policies in the student handbook apply to ASP. Three county discipline notices will result in suspension or withdrawal from the program.
- For the protection of your student, only people designated on the registration form will be allowed to pick up your student. IDENTIFICATION WILL BE REQUIRED. Each student must be signed out at the ASP desk every day.
