FAQs

Who can register for the program?
The Floyd ASAE Program will be free and open to any student in grades 1-7 presently registered in the Floyd Elementary School.

How do I register for the program?
Use the form enclosed in your newsletter (sent home to parents 2 weeks prior to the commencement of a session)  or print an application from our website. Completed applications must be returned to your homeroom teacher by the registration deadline noted both on this brochure and on the front page of the application form. Incomplete applications or applications obtained during previous sessions will not be accepted.

How do I know when my application is complete?
Your application is complete when you have filled out the:

• Course Selection Front Page

• Permission/Emergency Sheet (on reverse of front page – parent signature required), and

• Turned in your application to your homeroom teacher or the FES office before deadline for that session.

What if I don’t get my first choice of classes?
Students should complete the Course Selection/Application Cover Page with their second and third choices of courses in case their first choice course fills quickly. Remember, courses are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Students who are not placed in one of the sessions will have placement priority in the next available session but will have to reapply for that next session.

How will I get to the program?

Students from FES will meet in the FES cafeteria after dismissal at 3:18 p.m.  Students are supervised on site until instructional time begins at 3:30 p.m.

What if I’m out of school sick on a program day?
Students are required to attend all eight days of each session they are enrolled in unless they are ill or have a written excuse which has been cleared at the FES office.

How will I get home from the program?
Instructional time ends at 5:00 p.m. Activity buses will leave the FES at 5:10pm. Parents/Guardians must pick up their children no later than 5:15pm.

How will I know which class I am attending?
Students will receive notification on the Friday after the deadline for the upcoming session regarding the class they will begin participating in the next week. In the event that classes are over-enrolled, late-registering students will be offered available spaces in open classes or informed of the lack of space and given priority during the next available session.

What if I am hungry after school?
Our partner organization, Plenty!, will be providing healthy snacks for students each day. Snacks will be handed out in the cafeteria as children are waiting between dismissal and the beginning of class.

What is Community Night?
At the end of each session students, parents, and members of the Floyd community will be invited to celebrate our children’s creativity for a night of demonstrations, performances, and displays of the work students did throughout the session.
