Engaging Students in a Fun, Safe, Positive, Healthy Environment to Achieve Their Full Potential!

Lassen After School is a program of the Lassen County Office of Education that has provided services to participating districts and schools for the past 17 years. These programs are funded through the Prop. 49  After School Education and Safety Program (ASES). The program's purpose is to support participants in being successful students. We offer tutoring and homework assistance, recreation, and educational enrichment. All students in grades at participating school sites are eligible to attend, regardless of parental economic status. For more information, contact our office at 530-251-8711.

Programs begin at the regular day dismissal and conclude at either 5 p.m. or 6 p.m., depending on the site. The program is open every day that students are in session, with the occasional closure for professional development.
