Hudson Bluehawk Nation Afterschool Program

ASP Registration Information

HBN ASP will be accepting registration forms at the JLE and Intermediate Schools between 8:00 – 2:00 every day through Friday, August 31st.

A lottery was conducted recently for registration forms that were returned by August 20th. All participants who returned their registration forms have a slot at HBN ASP and received phone calls to verify their enrollment.

All registration forms that are received from this day forward will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis until all slots are filled. All others will be placed on a waiting list.

Please see important information regarding HBN ASP funding - August 7, 2012

Although our most recent funding was scheduled to end on June 30, 2012, we were happy to be notified by New York State Education Department in Mid-July that all current programs were extended for one year.  At that time we were notified that our funding amount would be announced soon.  On July 25th all programs were advised that our funding amounts would be reduced by 40%. 

Since this announcement many tough decisions have been made to allow us to continue providing high quality programs.  The following changes will be in effect in September:
* JLE ASP will be reduced from 130 to 100 students served daily.
*Intermediate School ASP (HATCH) will be reduced from 240 to 190 students served daily.
*Jr. High ASP will be reduced to 3 days per week (Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday)
*Bus Routes will be reduced as follows: Harry Howard Avenue, Carroll Street, 3rd & State, 2nd & State, Front & Columbia, 1st & Warren, 2nd & Warren, 3rd & Warren,  4th & Warren,  5th & State, 5th & Warren, 6th & Warren,  7th & Warren, 8th & Warren, Worth & Warren,  Prospect St., Paul Ave. (Scali’s), Union Turnpike & Greenport Pkwy, Healy Blvd. & Town Hall Drive, Apple Meadows, Lorenz Park (drop at circle), Joslen Blvd., Stottville Post Office, Back to School.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:  Registration forms will be mailed at the end of the week of August 6th.  Since it is a lottery system, please read the registration form for details on procedures to return forms.  After the lottery is drawn, families will be notified by a phone call of the results.

PLANS FOR FUTURE:  We have applied for state and local funding.  Over the next few months we expect to receive the results.  We are confident we will receive adequate funds to help reduce our deficit.  In October we plan to apply for the next round of 21st Century funding which will provide funds from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2018.  We continue to receive funds from Advantage and Extended School Day Grants. 

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we move forward with all decisions reflecting "the best interests of the children".
