After-School Care

RPS partners provide traditional aftercare through a fee-for-service model. In addition, RPS will use its limited federal dollars to provide funding to schools to develop their own out-of-school-time academic enrichment programs to meet their unique needs (after-school, before school, Saturdays, etc.). Funding distribution will be based on school enrollment with additional supplements for schools with greater needs as evidenced by achievement data.

Elementary Aftercare

For the upcoming school year, the City of Richmond is coordinating aftercare in all elementary schools in partnership with the YMCA and Richmond's Parks and Recreation Department. Aftercare will run Monday through Friday until 6 p.m. Due to limited funding this year, aftercare is not free, space is limited, and transportation home will not be provided. However, both the YMCA and Parks & Recreation can provide financial aid and full scholarships. To sign up, please contact your school to get the registration information.
