Encore: ASES

Encore: ASES (After School Education and Safety) is a grant-funded after-school program provided at no cost to TK-8th grade families through the California Department of Education’s Expanded Learning Division.

The program provides students with a safe and welcoming place to learn, explore and connect after school. Encore begins immediately after school dismissal, making it a convenient option for families while giving students balanced combination of academic support, enrichment and recreation to support the whole child.

Through Encore, students may participate in:

• Academic support and learning activities
• Arts, math, science and other enrichment experiences
• Recreation and physical activity
• Social engagement and relationship-building
• Activities that promote confidence, resilience and positive decision-making
• Opportunities to explore interests and develop new skills

By combining education, enrichment and recreation, Encore helps students make positive choices during their out-of-school time while strengthening skills that support success in school and beyond.
