THE PTA HELPS TO SUPPORT ON-SITE AFTER SCHOOL ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PS 11’s After School Team
To ensure that all students have access to meaningful after school opportunities parents are encouraged to explore The Dodge YMCA Afterschool Program or PS 11's After School Enrichment (ASE) program. Both options are hosted on-site at PS 11 for ease of transition from the school day. For more details regarding the Dodge YMCA program visit HERE. Please note enrollment is determined by lottery.
PS 11's ASE programs aim to provide our students with an opportunity to participate in an array of enrichment opportunities in addition to what is already incorporated into our curriculum. These include but are not limited to athletics, performing arts, visual arts, STEM and much more at a lower cost than comparable programs off-site thanks to the generous funding contributions of our PTA! ASE hosts two sessions: Fall and Winter/Spring each school year. We also established early drop off and extended care programs to help families who need support beyond the usual school day . Lastly, we are very proud to offer each year to students our Saturday Behan Arts Academy! Here enrollees can engage in an attractive array of enrichment classes with amazing instructors and opportunities for lots of fun on saturdays! There is also an impressive Fitness Kickboxing class for adults too!
Registration for the Fall ASE begins Monday, August 26 at 8 p.m. Registration ends Tuesday 9/3/2024. Fall ASE classes begin Thursday September 5, 2024 and end January 31, 2025. The Winter/Spring semester of ASE will begin Monday February 3, 2025 and will end Friday June 20, 2025. PLEASE NOTE: ASE uses the app FetchKids to support safe and prompt release from the program. Be sure to download the app once for those who choose to participate in ASE. Saturday Behan Arts Academy registration is typically held in October or November of each school year and will be communicated to parents at that time. The catalog of program offerings and registration links are below. Any additional questions please contact our After School Director: Dr. Simone LeConte at ase@ps11bk.org
