ASP vs Clubs: What's the Difference?

We know after-school options can get confusing—here’s the quick breakdown:

 

After School Program (ASP):

Cobb County’s After School Program (ASP) provides a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for the care of elementary students in the Cobb County School District. ASP is run by the school district, not the PTA. 

 

FunClubs: 

FunClubs are enrichment programs organized by PTA. Separate registration is required each semester. Students may attend ASP or be picked up following their club. All FunClubs participants must also be registered for ASP.
