The purpose of the After-School Student Program (ASP), also known as "Homework Club," is to enhance and support the growth of students in grades 7 and 8 enrolled in OCSA through the provision of an affordable, safe, caring, after-school environment. The program goals are to provide guidance and care, in a quiet environment, for students to complete homework, which acts as an extension of home, school, and community.

• The program is available on all school days except the following dates: August 16 (Welcome Festival), September 27 (middle school event), December 19 (staff holiday), April 25 (middle school event).

• Location: Tower 108/110

• Hours: Monday through Thursday 3:30-5:30 p.m. and non-conservatory days and Fridays from 2:35-5:30 p.m. 

• All students must be picked up by 5:30 p.m.

• $10.00 daily fee will be charged to a student’s OCard each day that a student attends the program using their student ID number. For billing purposes, a $10.00 fee is charged for any period of attendance for the day. If a student does not have funds on their OCard and must attend, their account will be debited and funds can be added to their account after attendance.

• Financial assistance is available for families who qualify for the National School Lunch Program and have an approved OCSA's Free/Reduced Lunch Program application on file for the current school year.  For more information, visit www.ocsarts.net/FRLP, or contact Becky Parsons at becky.parsons@ocsarts.net or 714-560-0900, ext. 5535.

• OCSA Closed-Campus Policy: Loitering on the outskirts of campus, in the street, or in surrounding neighborhoods is not allowed. If students in grades 7 and 8 remain at school due to transportation needs, they must report to the Homework Club by 4 p.m. or be subject to behavior consequences and the daily fee for Homework Club will be assessed on their account.

• A student who is absent from school due to illness may not attend that day.

• All School-Wide Behavior Expectations remain in effect during the program.

• Students are expected to come prepared with quiet work to complete and not disrupt others. A student whose behavior disrupts the learning environment may be dismissed from the program.

• Students who carpool and/or ride the bus/train will be dismissed at 4:45 p.m. as a group and students may be released to attend special on-campus activities as necessary.
