Kids Connection

Extended Care Program

Our program strives to provide a safe, educationally enriching, fun and rewarding experience for all students of Athens City Schools during the hours where there may be no adult supervision in the home. Children will have the opportunity to engage in activities that will benefit them emotionally, physically, and educationally. The program includes crafts, sports and games, snacks, art and music, field trips, and many other creative and cultural activities. A special time each day will be allotted for homework and tutorial assistance, if needed. The program is conducted and planned by staff trained to meet the needs of children and to provide positive adult role models. Parent input is important to our programs’ growth.

The KIDS Connection programs are open to all city students including tuition students in grades pre-kindergarten through eight, as well as private school students and home school students (K-8) who are zoned for ACS.  

Athens City Schools is in the process of applying for the Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program (21st CCLC) for the 2024-2025 school year.
 
This is also a public notice to gather input from citizens interested in learning more about 21st CCLC program opportunities for students and families. Interested citizens are invited to provide input, in writing to: Leslie Clary, Supervisor of Extended Learning at [email protected] 
 
A copy of the entire grant proposal will be available at the Athens City Schools Central Office after the application closes on April 1, 2024.
