As an approved before and after school vendor for Katy ISD schools, Right At School makes it easy to elevate your school community, support your staff, and give families the high-quality care they deserve.
With Right At School, extended-day programming runs smoothly – staffed, scheduled, and supported from day one. That means fewer disruptions, stronger family connections, and more space to focus on what matters most to your school.
As an approved vendor, we’re ready to go when you are!
A fully managed, TEKS-supported extended-day program that fits your school’s needs – and frees up your time.
Before partnering with Right At School, Cedar Hill principals were juggling the daily challenges of running their own campus programs. Now, every elementary school offers consistent, high-quality care – without adding extra work to the school day.
We manage the full-program so your attention stays where it matters most.
We handle all staffing - and start with hiring your paraprofessionals and instructional aides - so your team gets extra income and you get consistent support without lifting a finger.
Our consistent structure and familiar staff help reinforce the strong systems already in place - making afternoons feel calm, connected, and well supported.
From safety protocols to school events, we partner with your team to ensure programming reflects your culture and goals.

Activities that nurture reading, writing, empathy, and global awareness—tailored to your district.
Purpose-driven programming that fosters leadership, community pride, and responsibility.
Kids spend up to 20 hours a week in our programs—let us walk you through all the ways your child will learn, play and grow in a typical day with RAS. See a more detailed version of the daily schedule here.
We start by taking attendance and making sure that every child on the roster for that day is accounted for. A team member will lead the kids in a quick warm-up game while we wait for everyone to arrive.
We start every afternoon with a Town Hall, where we get kids excited about the activities ahead, do a community-building activity, celebrate birthdays, and shout out students for big wins (like Sammy acing his spelling test!)… all while enjoying a healthy snack!
We run, jump, stretch, and dance to “get the wiggles out” before putting our brains to work!
All RAS kiddos will spend ten minutes each day learning a second language. PreK–First Graders will learn the Spanish words for shapes, colors, numbers, and more, while our older students will learn American Sign Language (ASL)!
Each day, we help kids finish their homework… so you can reclaim the weeknight for family fun! Our educators split kids into similar age groups, foster a calm environment, and provide one-on-one support when kids need help.
Shhhh! Don’t tell the kids they’re learning! Our hands-on enrichment activities range from silly science experiments to feats of toothpick engineering, globe-trotting adventures, songwriting competitions, and beyond. Hidden in each Disguised Learning® activity is a deeply thoughtful lesson plan with learning objectives tied to state and national standards… but kids just know that they’re having a blast!
Red rover, red rover, send Elsa right over! In the gym, on the playground, rain or shine, we’ll get our muscles moving to classic schoolyard games or sports like kickball and soccer.
We end every day with options! Board games, arts and crafts, collaborative group projects, quiet reading, free play with friends, and more.
All the best days come to a close. We hope that by the time you arrive, you’ll have a happy, engaged, perhaps even tuckered out kiddo to enjoy a relaxing evening at home as a family.
