Attention ACE Families! Tomorrow is the last day for the 2025-2026 ACE program. There will be no ACE Thursday, May 21st, so as to give us time to prepare for the Summer program, which will begin Tuesday, May 26th. Hours will be from 8-2, with doors opening at 7:30 for breakfast.

We are so pleased you chose us to care for your children after school. We have seen some amazing growth this year and have truly enjoyed spending time with and getting to know your kiddos. We hope to see you all again next year!

Attention ACE Parents!

We will be hosting a series of Parent Information Meetings this week and next regarding next year's 21st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC) Cycle 13 grant. We are currently in our fifth and final year of our Texas ACE Cycle 11 grant and have already applied for a 21st CCLC Cycle 13 grant for next year. While we will not know if we have been awarded this grant until June, we have decided to go ahead and schedule Information Meetings to inform parents about the new requirements of the Cycle 13 grant. Parents who attend these meetings will be the first to register their students for the program. Other registration nights may be scheduled in May to ensure our numbers are as robust as possible for the start of the new cycle. Below is the list of scheduled Parent Information Nights. If your student is being promoted to a different campus next year, you can still attend your current campus information meeting/registration night. Whichever is most convenient for you. If you are unable to attend, please reach out to your campus site coordinator.
