• Attendance in Expanded Learning Opportunity Program (ELOP) offerings is flexible and based upon the needs of the student. 

• Students are free to participate in all activities offered at the site though some may be age appropriate and priority enrollment is given to our Unduplicated Pupil Population. 

• ELOP closes no sooner than 9 hours after the start of the ELOP Before School Program.  For example, if the ELOP before school program starts at 7AM, ELOP may close at 4PM. 

• Please check with your site coordinator to see what time ELOP activities conclude on a given day.

• For those students enrolled in ELOP clubs or activities we ask that they not be picked up until the conclusion unless an emergency occurs.  Students will be released to parents after each break.
