Expanded Learning, Workshops, and Assemblies

Expanded Learning opportunities are 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.

The Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P) provides the funding for afterschool and summer school enrichment programs for kindergarten through eighth grade.

We provide in-class electives, assemblies, workshops, lunchtime programs, and more! Let our highly trained staff help alleviate any staffing needs during the day!
