ASES Before School Program
Are you looking for a place in the morning to be warm, comfortable and to hang out with your friends? Well then you are in luck, as the ASES Before School Program is currently taking enrollment opportunities. The AM program begins each morning at 6:30 am in the BHMS MPR. Students can check in between 6:30 and 7:15 am. We offer a snack each morning, along with rooms and activities like our game room and open gym. Students can work on homework, socialize with friends, or just relax in a safe and friendly environment. If you are interested in joining the ASES Before School Program please email ASES Site Coordinator Treye Marshall Lund at tmarshalllund@powayusd.com for more information. We hope you can join us!”
