About the program
Del Valle ISD after school programs are available for students in Pre-K through 8th grade. Del Valle ISD offers programming under the federal 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant, administered by the Texas Education Agency's Afterschool Centers on Education (ACE).
Del Valle ISD ACE enhances student academic achievement, encourages family and community engagement, and empowers students to become productive 21st Century leaders.
New Student Registration
Registration Window: May 26–June 18, 2026
New students who did not participate in the 2025-2026 ACE program are invited to apply during this registration period. All students entering 6th Grade are considered New Students in the Middle School program and must complete this form.
The application links for each campus are listed below. Parents must fill out the campus-specific form for their children. Once returning student registration is complete, available spots will be filled by new students. Students who qualify for free/reduced lunch and who have an academic need will have enrollment priority to be in compliance with the ACE Grant.
- Families will be notified of their student’s status by June 26, 2026.
- Students who do not receive a seat will be placed on a waitlist.
Pre-K seats: Campuses will welcome all Pre-K students, depending on staffing. We will continue to hire throughout the year based on need.
Waitlist
If the program reaches capacity once returning and new student registration is complete, a waitlist will be created and used when seats become available during the school year. The opened seats will be considered based on the date/time registration was submitted.
