After School Enrichment (ASE) 

Winter-Spring 2026 Season 

Online Enrollment Starts January, 13, at 7pm

 

Our after-school enrichment classes are a wonderful way for students to explore new activities right here on campus. Offered by trusted outside providers, these optional programs give parents the convenience of extracurricular opportunities without extra driving. Each session runs 8–10 weeks, with classes held once a week—making it a great way for children to try something new without the long-term commitment. 

It’s a fun, flexible way to discover new interests and skills in a supportive environment! 

We have adopted a registration system called Homeroom.  This allows us to streamline sign up and track all students & classes.    

 

In advance of enrollment opening, feel free to go online and create an account on Homeroom.  

We also suggest adding your children’s info so you can sign up quickly as class sizes are limited and enrollment is on a first come, first served basis.

How to Apply for an ASE Scholarship at Indian Valley

We’re committed to making After School Enrichment (ASE) programs accessible to all families. Scholarships are available thanks to the generous support of our Providers and the ASE Fund.

Scholarship Allocation

  • One child – one class. Each scholarship covers one ASE class per child.
  • Scholarships are offered once a class reaches the minimum number of students.
  • We try to place children according to:
    • Their class preferences
    • Equity of opportunities
    • First-come, first-served basis

Funding Sources

  • Providers generously cover scholarships each session.
  • The ASE Fund provides additional scholarships. The size of the fund depends on:
    • Donations from our community
    • $2 from each ASE enrollment

 Opportunities for All

  • Typically, we receive fewer scholarship requests than available spots. 
  • That means if you qualify, your child will most likely be placed in a class. But this is not guaranteed. 

✅ Reminder: Apply early! This increases your chances of getting your preferred class.

 

Your next steps: 

  1. Complete the District Education Benefits Form
  • Families must start by filling out the District Education Benefits Form.

https://linqconnect.com/public/meal-application/new?lang=English

  • This form determines eligibility.
  1. Get Principal Approval – send email to aminnich@walnutcreeksd.org
  • If your family qualifies, the form will be reviewed by the Principal. 
  • Once approved (I will receive email from Principal), your child can be considered for a scholarship placement. 
  1. Class Assignment
  • Once approved, the ASE Coordinator (that’s me) will assign your child to a class based on:
    • Grade level
    • Class availability
  • We track participation to ensure no child attends the same class session after session. This way, all students have a fair chance to explore different activities.
  • ASE Coordinator sends you the code for a discount to buy the class from Homeroom

 

We're looking forward to a fabulous and ‘enriching’ program this Fall.  You may also contact the PTO with feedback, general inquiries, and interest in joining our After School Enrichment Committee.  And as a quick reminder, this is not a school sponsored program.  Each student must complete an ASE Waiver and follow ASE guidelines to participate.
