- Extended Learning Opportunity Program (ELOP)

 

The SCSD Expanded Learning Opportunities Program provides activities that support the whole child, and students’ Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and development. “Expanded learning” means before school, after school, summer, or intersession learning programs that focus on developing the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs and interests of pupils through hands-on, engaging learning experiences. Expanded learning programs are pupil-centered, results-driven, include community partners, and complement, but do not replicate, learning activities in the regular school day and school year.

 

 

Who Qualifies for ELOP Assistance?

San Carlos School District offers ELOP funding assistance for before-school, after-school, and summer programs serving students in transitional kindergarten through sixth grade.

A student may qualify for free or reduced-cost participation if they meet one or more of the following criteria:

• Eligible for free or reduced-price meals

• Identified as an English learner

• In foster care

• Experiencing homelessness

Students in these groups receive priority consideration. Additional students may be served depending on available funding, program capacity, and district guidelines.
