HONOLULU – The Hawaiʻi State Department of Education (HIDOE) and After-School Plus (A+) program providers statewide are encouraging families to prepare for registration for the upcoming 2026-27 school year. A+ registration for HIDOE families opens Wednesday, April 22, 3 p.m. — both online and in person.
合格
A+ programs provide safe, supervised after-school care for public elementary students (Grades K-6) whose parents or guardians are working, attending school, or participating in job training programs during after-school hours.
Families must submit proof of eligibility for both parents or legal guardians — regardless of marital status — to register for A+. Families should gather the following required documents prior to registration.
- For employed parents: Current pay stubs (dated within the past 30 days) or a letter from an employer verifying work hours.
- For self-employed/independent contractors: General Excise Tax (GET) license 和 either a tax return with Schedule C or a recent business checking account statement.
- For parents attending school: A class schedule on official school letterhead displaying the student’s name, school and course schedule.
- For parents in job training programs: A DHS_728 First-to-Work approval letter.
- 如果适用，监护文件和法定监护证明。
- 如适用，寄养父母文件（必须每学年重新提交）。
如何注册
Registering online is the fastest and most efficient way to register. Register at:
- HIDOE A+ website: https://hawaiicommunityengagement.com/after-school-plus/
- Or at the A+ provider’s website: 檀香山基督教青年会, 卡玛伊娜儿童, 梦想公司, Maui YMCA).
Or register in-person at your child’s A+ school site. Registration forms and Parent Handbooks can be downloaded from the HIDOE A+ 网站或各 A+ 提供商的网站。学校也可提供印刷本。
To avoid duplicate registrations, families are asked to have only one household member submit the online application. While online capacity is expanded to handle high traffic, both online and in-person registrations will be date- and time-stamped and processed in the order received. Incomplete applications may experience delays, and space may fill before enrollment is confirmed.
A+ 计划费用
For the 2026-27 school year, the A+ program monthly fee is $240. Monthly fees are due on the first program day of each month.
Income-eligible families may apply for financial assistance through the state Department of Human Services’ A+ subsidy program, which can help offset the monthly program fee. DHS subsidy applicants must submit a new application and provide proof of income for all household members each school year. 资格估算计算器 is available on the HIDOE A+ website.
