Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP)
Program Overview
The OUESD Expanded Learning Opportunities Program is available for TK-6th Grade students that meet eligibility.
OUESD receives funding for the After School Expanded Learning Programs from the California Department of Education; Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P).
The California Department of Education (CDE) has identified specific requirements for districts implementing Extended Learning Programs. These requirements and district priorities are:
When combined with the instructional day, the program must provide a 9 hour day for students.
The program must offer enrichment opportunities that engage students and that are based on student interests.
To qualify for ELOP, the student must be a part of our unduplicated count, which includes students in Transitional Kindergarten through grade 6 who are English learners, foster youth, homelessness, or those who qualify for free or reduced lunch. (Income based)
The program must be offered at each school site.
You must re-enroll every year to be a part of the ELOP program
Four Major Components
1. Academic Support: The academic component supports academic success by creating links to classroom learning by offering homework support, small group or individual tutoring, and mentoring.
2. Enrichment Opportunities: The enrichment component offers both traditional and non-traditional activities designed to build knowledge and enhance creative expression.
3. Recreational Activities: We encourage personal growth through competitive and non-competitive sports by building teamwork and a healthy competitive spirit, developing relationships, and having fun.
4. Community Building: The Expanded Learning programs foster a sense of community among students with a youth development model with a focus on serving the social-emotional needs of students.
