The PTA and Staff are proud to announce the After School Enrichment Program (ASEP) courses for Spring 2024.

Each class is 1 hour – beginning at 2:55 pm and ending at 3:55 pm. All classes are limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

The cost of each course is $90.

If a class is cancelled due to a school weather closing or early dismissal, every effort will be made to reschedule the class. In the case of a last minute class cancellation, parents will receive an email or phone call. Please respond quickly to let us know how you would like your child dismissed in these instances. If we do not hear from you, your child will be in the front office until 3:30 pm.

Each class registration is individual and you must fill out the form separately for each child you are enrolling. If you have not used this website in the past, you can checkout as a guest. If you have completed the transaction correctly, you will receive a confirmation email from Goshen Post Elementary School PTA Store directly after the transaction with your receipt. There is also a Parent Form link in the registration that you must fill out as part of the process. If financial assistance is needed, please contact Parent Liaison, Ms. Taylor at Deborah.Taylor@lcps.org.

Please note, there is no after school transportation provided for ASEP. You will be responsible for picking your child up at 3:55 pm. Students who normally walk home after school will not be able to do so after ASEP, they must be picked up. Students who attend CASA at Goshen Post will be dropped off in the cafeteria after ASEP. In addition, it is your responsibility to inform the ASEP teacher if your child has any medical conditions he or she should be aware of. If due to a disability you need assistance to meaningfully participate in ASEP, please contact the administrative team at 571-367-4030.
