Program Overview

The ELO-P program is operated on campus at Soulsbyville Elementary School.

Soulsbyville School District receives funding for the After School Expanded Learning Programs from the California Department of Education;  Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P).  Soulsbyville partners with Senior Youth Partnership to coordinate and operate ELO-P on campus.

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.

  • Soulsbyville's ELO-P hours of operation are 7:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. on regular school days.

• The program must offer enrichment opportunities that engage students and that are based on student interests.

• Students on the unduplicated list of students receive priority enrollment and program availability is subject to change based on staffing, facilities, and enrollment.

  • If you believe your family may qualify, please complete the free and reduced lunch application located in your Registration Packet for the current year  and submit the form to our District Office.

• 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 by building teamwork and a healthy competitive spirit, developing relationships, and having fun.
