ASE Frequently Asked Questions
My student attends the HEF (Henrico Education Foundation) after school program at NFE. Can they still participate in the PTA After School Enrichment (ASE)?
YES! Register your student for the PTA After School Enrichment Program of their choice. We will have a volunteer available at 3:15pm to escort students from their PTA ASE class to meet their HEF coordinator.
My student wants to do two classes, can I sign them up for two classes?
All of the classes will be held at the same time on Tuesday afternoons from 2:15-3:15pm on September 23 - October 28. Students should only enroll in one class for the Fall session.
My student’s favorite class is not listed for my student’s grade level. Can I still enroll them in the class they want?
ASE classes are designed for the grades listed based on student skill and ability. To enroll in a class a student must be in the grades listed for that class.
Should I enroll my new Kindergarten student in an ASE class this Fall?
This depends on your Kindergarten student. As parents you know your child best. If your young student is tired from their first days in school, then it may be best to wait and enroll your Kindergartener in the Spring ASE session when they are more accustomed to the school routine and have more energy to fully enjoy their ASE class.
Why are some classes more expensive than others?
Each class is priced depending on the cost of materials and instructor time for the class. Some classes require more expensive materials, but all of the classes will be equally fun and engaging for your student.
We’ve had a change in schedule and my student can no longer participate in their ASE Class. Can I get a refund?
After Friday, September 12 no refunds will be given for ASE course registrations as described on the ASE flyer, ASE website and ASE registration.
My student attended the first week and would like to change classes. Can we switch to another class?
Unfortunately we are not able to accommodate class changes during the session. After September 12 we are not able to make changes or give refunds for ASE classes.
Is ASE the same as HEF?
ASE stands for After School Enrichment and it is a PTA sponsored six week session of classes that meet once a week and teach a fun, new skill. HEF stands for Henrico Education Foundation, which runs a daily after school program at Nuckols Farm. ASE and HEF are two separate groups. Students who attend HEF can register for ASE classes.
Why aren’t there more class offerings?
ASE is volunteer led and we currently have a very small team. If you would like to share course ideas that appeal to your student, or if you would like to join the ASE team, please email Kristi Beabout (ktbeabout@gmail.com).
