Ponder ISD is excited to announce a new partnership with AlphaBEST for the 2025–2026 school year! This extended day program will provide high-quality care and enrichment for students in PreK (age 4) through 5th grade—right on your child’s school campus.
With the shift to a 4-day instructional week, we recognize that some families may need additional support. That’s why AlphaBEST will offer both:
✔️ Extended after-school care Monday–Thursday
✔️ Full-day care every Friday
Families can choose the schedule that works best for them!
