Santa Barbara Charter School After School Program

Santa Barbara Charter School After School Program

The SBCS ASP for the 2019-20 school year begins Monday, August 19, 2019

Welcome

Hello everyone! As our new school year gets underway, we are thrilled to inform you that we will be merging the After School Program and Homework Club program into one After School Program (ASP) with two co-directors: Ginnie Volovick and Rebecca Herrera.  

We are integrating the two programs so that we can better serve the students and their families.  This way, we will have one central location for all after school programming, as well as create a more comprehensive and consistent service for families.  We will continue to offer homework and tutoring assistance, there will still be free play time, after school sports programs, and after school enrichment offerings from outside providers. 

All your fabulous staff are returning to SBCS, and we are thrilled to bring you this improved service, with NO ADDITIONAL COSTS. We will continue to be able to provide scholarships to any student who has a financial need (based on the free/reduced lunch program application.)  We will have before-school care from 7:15-8:15 Monday through Friday, and will be open for student care until 5:30pm each day.

Lastly, we will be enrolling all students through this website for the After School Program.  This includes enrollment in the homework club, sports, and enrichment options.  If you have any questions or concerns, please email or phone Ginnie and Rebecca:  Contact Number: (805) 729-2152, SBCSASP@gmail.com

Testimonials
Children here are taught how to deal with conflict

There are many reasons we LOVE Santa Barbara Charter School:
The first that comes to mind is the emphasis on building relationships. Children here are taught how to deal with conflict. Obviously bullying is not acceptable anywhere; but the manner in which it is dealt with makes the difference. For instance, instead of sending a child to the principal’s office due to a “no tolerance” policy, the entire class takes the time to discuss and work through the conflict. Many times my children are able to work through disagreements on their own and my intervention is not necessary. As a parent I’m sure you would agree to the value of such skills. Children here are encouraged to be unique, to be themselves, and accepting of others. The whole child, emotional and intellectual, is nourished and celebrated.
