What should I know about Expanded Learning?

Programs are free for families and are funded by the After School Education and Safety grant and the Expanded Learning Opportunity Program funding from the California Department of Education. After school day programs operate from the end of the school day until 6 p.m. each day school is in session. Our spring break, summer, and non-student day programs operate nine hours daily. We notify families through ParentSquare and flyers. Please contact the site coordinator at your child’s school for more information and/or questions.

Enhancing Academic Engagement and Success

Students who participate in expanded learning receive academic support by extending learning opportunities beyond the regular school day. Students engage in hands-on learning, science experiments, and skill-building challenges that deepen their understanding of subjects like art, sports, and STEAM. These initiatives help students build confidence, develop new skills, and thrive academically.

Promoting Safety and Emotional Well-Being

Our program prioritizes student safety and emotional well-being by fostering strong relationships between students and trusted adults. Through experiences like community circles or student voice initiatives, the program creates a supportive environment where students feel heard and valued. Data-driven improvements have increased the number of students who feel connected to an adult at school, ensuring they have a safe space to express themselves and build meaningful relationships.
