ASP in-person registration for the
2024-2025 school year will open June 3!
Registration stays open until we reach our capacity.
After school can be a tough time for students. Students can either get involved in an after-school activity or search for something to do, often ending up playing video games, watching TV, or just being bored. Our After-School Program offers an alternative. We pick students up from Oak Ridge Elementary, Northwood Elementary, and ROMS and take them to The SAL. While there, they receive a snack, homework time, structured activities and sometime just for hanging out in a safe supervised environment.
For more information or to sign up please contact Jeff Rowland at 248 585 5600 ext. 672 or Jeff.Rowland@usc.salvationarmy.org

The cost of the program is based on how many school days are in the month. Daily rates are available for a semester up request. The program will NOT be open if Royal Oak Schools are closed. See the registration form above for monthly fees. Please note that there may be 1/2 days that The SAL will be closed. We may try and provide care for at least one 1/2 day.
If you have not picked up your child by 10 minutes past 6:00 pm there will be a $10 late fee and $1 a minute fee after that. Late fees must be paid within (2) days of the incident for the child to return to the program.

Programs and activities, such as recreational games, homework time, etc. will serve the purpose for which they were established. There will be areas, such as prayer before snack and daily devotions that students will be asked to participate in that have a faith-based component.
The program will run at a 10-1 student to staff ratio. All staff will have gone through a 3 tier background check, CPR certification and First-Aid Training (all Red Cross certified). The After-School Program is a State of Michigan Licensed program.
The SAL will follow the code of conduct that the Royal Oak schools follow. Example: If a child is not allowed to wear certain clothes at school, they can not wear those clothes at the SAL. The same goes for bullying, profanity, vandalism, etc...
The students will go through rules for the program every Monday as a group.
Counselors and staff will assist your child with homework assignments and check planners.
Please call the SAL's main office at 248.585.5600 or email Jeff Rowland at Jeff.Rowland@usc.salvationarmy.org as soon as you know your child will not be coming. This makes school pick-up run smoothly.
