Students are referred by school staff. Please call SPPS Student Placement Center at 651-632-3760 to confirm student assignment for days, session and transportation if needed.  

Areas of support include: reading, math, social studies, science, English/writing and Schoology (Grades 3-12) navigation, technology/device support to support Distance Learning 2.0, and social-emotional support.

A team of Educational Assistants, Teaching Assistants, SPPS temporary staff, retired teachers, contractors, community partners, and volunteers with a background in education and teaching, will provide the support to all students attending the center.

Students can receive 3 hours of support, 3 days/week for approximately 3 weeks per term.

ASC term dates:

• Term 1: Oct. 19 - Nov. 25 
• Term 2: TBD

Nutrition Services will provide healthy snacks for all students in the morning and afternoon.

Limited transportation can be arranged via the registration process. The Student Placement Center (SPC) is assisting with the registration, transportation and enrollment of students to ASC program.

Due to other transportation needs (Essential Kids Care, meal delivery, hybrid sites), transportation may not always be available.

We are prepared to welcome 200 students per day at Washington and 100 students per day at the other sites. If there are more requests than can be accommodated, there will be a waiting list and students will be prioritized based on academic needs.

The ASC will follow all state guidelines for school settings as required by the Minnesota Department of Health. This includes face coverings for all students and staff, maintaining social distancing and frequent handwashing.
