(After School Enrichment Program)
The After School Enrichment Program is coordinated by Olinda PTA volunteers, with the goal of enriching the educational experience for Olinda students. Professional vendors and community volunteers host a selection of classes held conveniently after school on the Olinda campus.
Olinda PTA does not raise funds from this program, but actually subsidizes the cost of classes, in order to make them more affordable for our families. We hope all students will find something of interest in the variety of classes!

Fees and Scholarships:
West Contra Costa Unified School District provides all students and families with equal access to site-based After School Program activities regardless of their ability to pay fees. As such, all payment amounts per student for each class are considered to be suggested donations. However, if Olinda PTA is not able to collect the suggested amount per student for any given class, it is highly likely that the class will have to be cancelled. In order to keep classes affordable for all students and families, Olinda PTA subsidizes the cost for many of the classes to offer discounted rates to our students. In addition to the subsidies, we also have a limited amount of After-School Enrichment Program Scholarships available in order to increase the accessibility of ASEP classes for all students. See the section for scholarship request if you are interested in applying for a scholarship.
To request a scholarship: Use coupon code SCHOLARSHIP25 (for a $25 scholarship) or SCHOLARSHIP50 (for a $50 scholarship) at checkout, and leave us a note explaining why you are requesting a scholarship when you complete your checkout questionnaire. Note that use of these codes are not a guarantee that your child will be awarded a scholarship. Scholarship availability may vary each ASEP session and is determined by PTA budget and number of scholarship requests received. Final decisions about scholarship awards are solely at the discretion of the PTA board. If your scholarship request is not approved, we will send you a link to pay for the remaining portion of your class purchase, or you may request to be dropped from the class at that time.
Chaperones:
Each class needs a parent chaperone for the class to run. Chaperones are used in each class to help supervise the students before, during and after the classes. The parent chaperone will receive complimentary admission in the class for their student. Volunteers must have a volunteer badge issued by the school district. (If you need information on how to get a badge, contact the ASEP chair at: olindapta.asep@gmail.com)
To request to chaperone: Set the chaperone dropdown above to YES before adding the class to your cart. Chaperones receive the class for free! However, this is not a guarantee that you will be selected as the class chaperone. We often receive multiple requests to chaperone classes, and final decisions about chaperones are solely at the discretion of the PTA board. If your chaperone request is not approved, we will send you a link to pay for the class.
In addition, chaperones will be trained to ensure that all proper protocols are taken with regard to student safety. Chaperone training will take place prior to the beginning of classes. In accordance to district requirements, all chaperones/volunteers need to be fully vaccinated for Covid or a negative Covid test taken within 72 hours of being on campus must be presented each time they are on campus.
General Information:
Student Dismissal and Supervision:
As an extra measure of safety, students in Grades K-3rd will be supervised upon school dismissal until the start of class time by the parent chaperone. Students in Grade 4-6 are responsible for getting to their after school classes on their own. All ASEP students in Y-Care should go immediately to Y-Care upon school dismissal. They will be escorted to and from there after school class by a parent chaperone or Y-Care personnel.
Instructors:
Some of our Instructors are paid professionals from companies specializing in after school education. Many of our Instructors are parent and community volunteers who have an expertise in a subject and strong interest in providing an opportunity for our students. All Instructors are held to WCCUSD requirements including background checks and TB tests.
