Program requirements:
The State of California and the San Diego County Office of Education have tightened the attendance requirements for all before and after-school programs that are funded through the After-School Education and Safety (ASES) initiative. Since these programs are free of charge we must follow these requirements in order to continue providing programming for our students. We are required to use an automated sign-in/sign-out system which will report attendance directly to SDCOE. Unfortunately students will be dropped from the program if they do not meet the requirements.
Attendance Guidelines are:
Before-School Program: A minimum of 4 days/week (with student arriving by 7:30). Priority registration is given to students attending 5 days per week.
After-School Program: A minimum of 4 days/week and 9 hours/week. The 9 hour requirement can be waived if an approved Early Release form is submitted. The 4 day/week requirement cannot be waived. Priority registration is given to students attending 5 days per week. Students must stay until 4:45 p.m. or after, any day they attend the program. We cannot accommodate students on a “drop-in” basis.
Program Activities:
Before-School Program: Supervised activities in the gym, Bobcat Center, library and computer lab.
After-School Program:
Academic support and homework, recreational sports, arts and crafts,
computers, electronic and board games, cooking.
