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

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.  

We will do our very best to serve all interested families. Registration is ongoing for the 2025-26 school year and is a first come, first serve basis. ELOP eligibility is reviewed on an annual basis. All families must re-enroll in the program each school year. Students can ONLY enroll at the program located at the school they attend.  We do not provide drop-in services or transportation. If the program is full, your child will be added to the waitlist. 

Enrollment priority is given to the following students:

First Priority: Foster Youth, Students experiencing homelessness, English learners, and students qualifying for free/reduced lunch services (income based form).

Non School day Offerings (Intersession)

Through the ELOP funding we provide 30 non school days of programming.  For the 2025-26 School Year programming will be offered during Fall, Spring and Summer Break.
