2025-2026 Cedars After-School Program Options: Fee-Based & ACE (Grant-Funded)

Dear Cedars Families,

We’re excited to offer two after-school programs designed to keep students safe, supported, and engaged, every Monday through Friday until 6:00 PM. Both programs are accepting students. 

What both programs provide

  • Dismissal at 6:00 PM (Mon–Fri)
  • Paper registration form required & located in the office 
  • Free snack and homework support
  • A safe, structured environment after school
  • Summer programming for eligible students
  • Late fees apply for late pick-ups.

Program choices

1) Fee-Based After-School (PK4–8)

  • Grades: PK4–8
  • Capacity: up to 150 students
  • Pick-up: Any time before 6:00 PM
  • Registration: Paper form (front office); space is limited- (many families have already completed the fee-based form at Back to School Night)

2) ACE (Afterschool Centers on Education)—No Cost to Families

  • Grant-funded: Cedars received $600,000 to offer ACE at no cost
    Grades: K–8
  • Focus: Academics, enrichment, college/career readiness; strong family engagement
  • Clubs & supports: STEM, arts, leadership, life skills, certified teachers for tutoring, and highly qualified counselors for clubs
  • Eligibility & capacity: Limited seats; students must meet grant eligibility
  • Attendance requirement: To meet grant rules, ACE students remain until 6:00 PM (no early pick-up)

How to register:

  • Pick up the paper registration form in the front office (or check your child’s backpack folder). Return forms to the office. Seats are filled as space allows.
  • Most families completed the Fee-Based registration form during Back-to-School Night.
