Lassen After School provides after-school services to participating districts and schools. The program's purpose is to support participants in being successful students. We offer tutoring and homework assistance; recreation; and educational enrichment. All students 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 6 pm. The program is open every day that students are in session with the occasional closure for professional development.

The Lassen After School Program is funded through a grant provided by Proposition 49. When the voters of California passed Prop. 49, the state developed the After School Education and Safety program or ASES.

  • daily attendance
  • specific hours of operation
  • opportunity for academic assistance and educational enrichment
