Overview of Fee-Based Programs
The Bibb County School District has ten fee-based After School Programs (ASP). Our fee-based programs are self-supporting programs. They operate from fees paid by parents/guardians. The annual registration fee is $25 per student. Fees are $10 per day. All fees are payable per student. The registration fee for Before School Programs is $10, and the weekly fee is $10 regardless of the number of days the student attends.
Each of our sites are licensed through Bright from the Start and are eligible to receive Childcare and Parent Services (CAPS) reimbursements (also known as child care certificates) through the Department of Early Care and Learning. Click here for more information.
The expected outcomes of the fee-based ASP are: to enhance and enrich the students' regular day activities; to increase class participation; to improve homework completion; to improve academic achievement along with test scores; and to decrease discipline problems at school and at home. By providing learning experiences that are not part of the regular school day, Bibb County ASP can impact the whole child--academically, socially, and emotionally. These programs run Monday through Friday from school dismissal until 6:00 PM.
The tutors of the ASP provide time for students to complete homework assignments and provide one-on-one help for those having difficulties. The tutors also carry out lessons that reinforce or enrich the students' comprehension of skills covered during the regular school day. These lessons incorporate higher order critical thinking skills, problem solving skills, and STEM activities.
The ASP contracts with service providers from the community to provide enriching activities that cannot be provided by the District. These providers conduct services that include but are not limited to: art, music, tennis, social etiquette, dance, Taekwondo, science shows, and live nature shows.
