ACES . . . helping children develop curiosity, creativity and character
Guilford County Schools invites parents to choose the district’s After-School Care Enrichment Services (ACES) program for quality, affordable and convenient after-school care. Students in kindergarten through fifth grade can enroll in ACES at any time during the school year.
ACES provides a balance of academic, enrichment and recreational after-school activities. The program expands children’s experiences, extends their learning and provides warm and caring support.
In ACES, students pursue academic excellence as they work on homework, engage in literacy-rich activities, review and practice math concepts, and take part in activities that support their success in school and in life.
The ACES program addresses the needs of the whole child, helps develop well-rounded students, increases character-development opportunities for students, and focuses on the social and emotional well-being of children.
Involvement in ACES helps build positive school-family relationships and strengthens our schools’ educational partnership with parents and students.
ACES is offered every day that school is in session for students. The program begins when school ends and operates until 6 p.m. On some teacher workdays, designated as ACES All-Days, the program operates from 7:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. On All-Days, students enjoy field trips or participate in special on-site activities.
We look forward to serving your after school needs!
