Parents only pay for the days the service is used; there is no contract. The hours for ASC are from 3-6pm. If students in grades Kindergarten-10th grade have not been picked up within 15 minutes of school dismissal, they must check in with ASC. They may not stay on campus unsupervised. Exceptions for middle school students in 7th-8th grade and high school students are home game days, and student athletes for whom a free-of-charge study hall is provided in season. Our ASC program is provided for VCA students only.
