Commitment to Achievement & Victory for Everyone
Douglas City School is excited to be offering our after school program called ASES, aka DC CAVE! This program is free to all K-8 students. In the event of our site having a full program with a waiting list, students who are homeless, in foster care, and those that attend five day a week will be given first priority.

Program Days/Hours - ASES begins on the 2nd day of school, during the hours of 2:30pm to 5:30pm and runs Monday through Friday. On early dismissal days we will start at 1:30pm. Parents are responsible for picking up their children on time. It becomes difficult to perform our jobs to the fullest when children are not picked up by 5:30pm. The ELO-P summer program runs from 8:00am-4:00pm. Summer program dates will be announced prior to the end of the school year.

This program is composed of three primary components:

Academic Support – will provide homework assistance, tutoring and educational activities aligned with common core standards.

Enrichment and Recreation – will provide fun and engaging activities that give more depth to traditional learning. Activities may include leadership training, computers, music, science, art and various clubs. This year we will continue to improve and expand our garden; we have parent volunteers who are committed to helping us learn about and grow healthy, sustainable fresh foods. We also will be focused on good health habits and becoming active. Activities include organized games, music, drama, cooking, crafts, and other various recreational sports. We have cheer, volleyball, archery, basketball and track teams that complete within our county and occasionally outside the county.

Healthy Meal – will be provided on a daily basis, adhering to State and Federal guidelines.

Parents must agree to the terms of the ASES registration. If you have any questions please call me at the office at 623-6350.

Sincerely,
Diana Losk
After School Site Coordinator

DC COYOTE CAVE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM
EARLY RELEASE FORM

Dear Parents,

We are so pleased that you have enrolled your child in ASES. It is the goal of our ASES program to keep your child safe and engaged in meaningful activities after school each day until 5:30pm. The program will start right after dismissal time and operate until 5:30pm every day. It is the intent of the Legislature that students participate in the full after school program. Circumstances that allow for early release are listed below.

You must code your early pick-up on the sign-out sheet with the corresponding letter if your child does not stay until 5:30pm:

A - Medical Appointments
B – Parent, Guardians, or Authorized Pick Up Person
C – Special Campus Events Under Direction of the Principal
D – School Site Closure Due to Weather or Fire incident
E – Last bus of the regular school day is their only transportation home

All students must be signed out with a (1) signature, (2) time of pick-up and (3) a code. If all three columns are not filled out, this is considered a miss-sign and student may be dropped from the program. Each child’s parent, guardian or persons named on the student’s approved pickup list must sign for the relevant student. There are no exceptions.
Once a student is signed out of the ASES program, our school district is not liable for any harm or injury that may occur. The student may not return to the program after he/she is signed out. It is also understood that the program closes promptly at 5:30pm every day. If a child is picked up after 5:30pm, the parent or guardian will receive a warning letter. It is understood that events beyond our control can sometimes occur, but habitual late pick-ups will be subject to removal from the program under the consideration of the Site Coordinator and the school Principal.

Sincerely,
Diana Losk
Site Coordinator
