Alisal Union School District Expanded Learning Opportunities

Expanded Learning Opportunities Plan

The purpose of Alisal's Expanded Learning Program is to provide our students with a variety of enriching experiences beyond the regular school day focusing on developing the whole child. The activities range from science, technology, engineering, performing arts and math. These activities would not be accessible to our families otherwise due to limited resources.

These experiences are designed to build self-esteem, parent involvement and a positive outlook towards school in a way that ultimately increases student achievement. To accomplish this, Alisal USD engages with community partners in our mission to maintain high expectations and strive for excellence in our students. Our goals are to provide a safe and healthy after-school environment for at-risk youth, enrich and empower our children to explore their potential, build on their interests and strengths, celebrate their achievements and grow socially and emotionally with their peers through activities supported by culturally responsive mentoring, collaboration and teamwork. Our programs currently serve 41 percent of our district's student population from kindergarten through sixth grade.

After School Education & Safety (ASES)

The ASES program funds the establishment of local after school and enrichment programs. In AUSD, These programs are created through partnerships between schools and local community resources to provide literacy, academic enrichment, and safe constructive alternatives for students in grades 1-6.

The educational literacy component provides tutoring, and homework assistance designed to help students meet standards in core academic subjects such as reading/language arts, math, and science. A broad range of activities are implemented based on local student needs and interests.

The enrichment component offers an array of additional activities that reinforce student learning through Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math (STEAM) methodology centered on an interdisciplinary approach that encourages problem solving, discovery, and exploratory learning that increase students' ability to think critically and work as a member of a team.

Our program also offers structured Physical Education opportunities and daily supper. The program begins immediately after the regular school day and runs until 6 p.m. daily. A before school program is also available at Jesse G. Sánchez Elementary School and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Academy. Before school programs begin at 6:30 a.m. and end at 8 a.m. daily.

Our after school program is available to students who attend any of the 12 schools in the Alisal Union School District:

Alisal Community School, Bardin Elementary School, César E. Chávez Elementary School, Creekside Elementary School, Dr. Oscar F. Loya Elementary School, Frank Paul Elementary School, Fremont Elementary School, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Academy, Jesse G. Sánchez Elementary School, John E.
