Afterschool Programs

All ACE class registrations are processed through our online enrollment system. To explore its features, check out our Enrollment User Guide. To ensure a smooth registration process when classes open, we recommend completing these three simple steps in advance:

1. Create Account or Sign In to online enrollment system
2. Manage Students to add a student to your profile (required for registration)
3. Browse and click orange Add Class button to enroll in eligible classes.
   Note: If Add Class button is gray, you cannot add the class because either enrollment is not yet open, you are not signed in, or you don’t have an eligible student added to your account. Your child is only eligible for ACE classes at their home school. 

ACE classes are open to students attending Irvine Unified School District schools where the program is held. Students may only take after school classes at the school they currently attend.

Financial support is available to families demonstrating financial need.

All classes offered will run for 1 hour (60 minutes) afterschool unless otherwise noted. ACE classes will begin 5-10 minutes after their specific grade dismissal time.

ACE class capacities depend on grade level and class subject, they can vary from 12-16 students per class.

In order to maintain a safe, fun, and enriching environment, all students, parents/guardians, and IPSF staff are expected to behave in a respectful manner that promotes the safety and well-being of themselves and others. Inappropriate behavior includes, but is not limited to: foul language, hurting, teasing, threatening, tattling, name-calling, discussing mature subject matter, negative attitude, back talking to staff, not cooperating or participating, not listening or following directions, fighting, littering, stealing, and being in possession of weapons, alcohol, and/or drugs.

In cases when this is not followed, the child (or children) may be removed from the program and will not be entitled to a class refund of any kind.

No, but all of our locations have a separate, fee-based on-site childcare center open to IUSD students. Please contact them directly to inquire about availability and arrange care after our program.

Yes, IPSF works directly with the onsite childcare centers and ELOP to notify them of any students enrolled in ACE classes. Students will be dismissed to onsite childcare or ELOP after their ACE class.

If your student is enrolled after school in the onsite childcare program or ELOP, please be sure to update your student’s profile to reflect this information. After you have signed in to your IPSF profile, click on “Manage Students” and update information in the “Transportation” field for each student.

If your student has any conditions that IPSF staff need to be aware of, please note this information in the “Critical Information” section of your student’s profile. You will be contacted via email if further information is needed.

We do not work towards IEP or 504 goals, but are committed to serving students with disabilities. IPSF staff will work collaboratively with parents to determine reasonable accommodations. For additional information, please contact us.
