FUESD After School (FAS) is a free program available to participating families that operates before and/or after school on every regular school day. Families can feel confident knowing their children receive academic support, participate in engaging enrichment activities, and build positive relationships with peers in a safe, supportive environment.

The program is administered by the FUESD Expanded Learning Opportunities (ELO) Department and is delivered in partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of North County (BGC), the BASE Program, and other FUESD departments and community partners. Formerly known as the After School Education and Safety (ASES) Program, FAS has evolved into a comprehensive, expanded learning program that supports students’ academic, social-emotional, and physical development.

Support the whole student through safe, engaging, and developmentally appropriate activities that foster social-emotional, academic, and leadership skills.

Goal 2: Family Engagement
Engage families as active partners in students’ learning and development, fostering strong school-home connections.
