Douglas County School System

Fee-Based After-School Program

All Douglas County School System Elementary Schools offer after-school care for all students.

The mission of the Douglas County School System After School Program (ASP) is to provide a safe, relaxed, and enjoyable environment for its students. The ASP provides enrichment activities, social interaction with peers, and homework help in a well-supervised, structured setting. The Fee-Based After School Program sponsored by the Douglas County School System is designed to provide adult supervision, in a group setting, to students whose parents work outside the home after school hours. Programs typically open on the first day of school.

After School Hours

The ASP is open from 2:45 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

ASP start time at each school may vary based on actual school dismissal. Please check with your school regarding the actual ASP start time.

We ask that parents or guardians please pick up their children no later than 6:00 p.m. Programs do charge a late pick-up fee of $1.00 per minute, per family after 6:00 p.m.

We are closed on holidays, 1/2 early release, and summer break.
