Community Education Program

Success Zone is an after-school enrichment program that offers students from across the district and community a unique opportunity to explore new talents, develop valuable skills, and expand their knowledge through engaging, hands-on learning experiences. The program offers a wide variety of courses in areas such as arts and crafts, culinary, dance, fine arts, languages, STEM, and more. To support this mission, we partner with vendors in the community to create a dynamic and enriching learning environment for our students. No matter what your child’s interests are, we are sure you’ll find a class that your child will enjoy!  

Registration Dates 

Fall classes begin in late September, with registration opening on July 27, 2026. Spring classes begin in late February, with registration opening in mid-December.  

How to Register 

Registration for Success Zone is available online through Eleyo, our registration system. Parents will first create an account using their own information. After the account setup is complete, they will add their children and other family members. Once the account is established, parents can select their preferred campus and enroll their child in the classes.  

Families are encouraged to register early to secure their preferred classes and to avoid cancellations due to low enrollment.  

Tuition 

Success Zone classes are self-supporting, meaning tuition revenue directly supports and sustains program offerings. Tuition varies by class and is determined by the vendor with payment processed through Community Education. Tuition fees cover the full session and must be paid in advance at the time of registration.  

Financial assistance is available for families who meet eligibility requirements and is granted on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to available funding.  

Refunds 

Success Zone is funded solely from tuition. Expenses for the vendor and materials are set once a class has made the minimum enrollment or is in progress. Therefore, refunds will only be issued as follows: 

• For classes cancelled by Community Education due to low enrollment, 100% of the tuition paid will be refunded. 

• If a request for a refund is made ten business days prior to the start of the class, 100& of tuition paid will be refunded and a processing fee of $10 will be added. 

• If a request for a refund is made five business days prior to the start date of the class, a 50% refund of tuition paid will be issued and a processing fee of $10 will be added.  

• Refunds will not be issued if requests are made less than five business days or once a class begins.  

• All Success Zone classes are held on campus. 
• Please notify your child's teacher that he/she is enrolled in Success Zone. 
• After school, Success Zone students are dismissed to Extended Day. 
• Once staff takes attendance, students will have time to eat their snack and get ready for class to start. 
• When class is over, students will be brought back to Extended Day. 
• If your child is a non-Extended Day student, then he/she will need to be picked up once class is over. 
• If your child is an Extended Day student, then he/she will return to his/her group. 

Who can enroll in Success Zone classes?  

Success Zone is open to all students in the community (district and non-district). Enrollment in Extended Day is not required to participate. If your child’s campus does not offer classes, families are welcome to register at a neighboring Success Zone campus.  

What is the school dismissal procedure if my child is enrolled in Success Zone?  

All classes are held on campus. Please notify your child’s teacher that they are enrolled in Success Zone. At dismissal, all Success Zone students will report to Extended Day, where staff will assist in transitioning them to their assigned class. Once class concludes, students who are not enrolled in Extended Day must be picked up by an authorized adult. Students enrolled in Extended Day will return to their designated group following class. 

Can I enroll my child if he/she is a walker or a bike rider?  

Due to safety, students are required to be picked up by an authorized adult listed in Eleyo, our registration system.  

Is transportation provided for classes?  

The program does not provide transportation.  

Are families allowed to visit the classes? How will I know what my child is learning?  

During registration, families will have access to a semester-at-a-glance schedule online. At the end of the semester, families will be invited to attend a class showcase to celebrate and experience what students have learned. Throughout the semester, vendors will also provide ongoing communication through email updates and/or take-home activities to keep families connected and engaged. 

What happens if my child is on the waiting list? Will I be notified of the status of my child’s enrollment? 

We monitor enrollment daily and fill openings as they become available. If a spot opens, families on the waitlist will be contacted in the order that registrations were received. Families are also welcome to contact our office at 281-634-4220 or email communityed@fortbendisd.gov for updates regarding their child’s enrollment status. 

What is the process for requesting Success Zone classes to be offered at my child’s campus? 

Our goal is to provide programming that reflects the needs and interests of our students and families. We welcome suggestions and requests and encourage families to submit them to  communityed@fortbendisd.gov. Your feedback helps inform future planning and supports the growth and expansion of our program.   

As part of the District’s Profile of a Graduate, FBISD is committed to preparing students for success in their post-secondary pursuits. Through Community Education, we offer a variety of classes for high school students designed to support college and career readiness, including study skills and college entrance exam preparation courses.
