The
PrimeTime Extended Day Program, provides elementary and middle school
students with a fun and engaging learning environment during the hours
most parents/guardians are working. Parents/guardians can feel
comfortable knowing their children are not only receiving professional
academic support, but are also interacting with peers in a physically
and emotionally safe environment.New applications are required for the 2014-15 school year, which begins in September, even if a child is currently in the program. Applications will be sent home with students on March 3 and will also be available to print online.
PrimeTime
was designed by experts in child development, education and youth
leadership. PrimeTime creates a physically and emotionally safe
environment conducive to learning while improving reading, writing,
verbal, math, science, social and communication skills. At most schools,
programs are funded to serve approximately 85-100 students per school
day at the elementary schools and 100-300 students per school day at the
middle schools. PrimeTime adds a strong youth-development focus,
including life skills, positive communication, conflict resolution, goal
setting and decision making.
Applications must be sent
via U.S. mail to the PrimeTime partner providing services at your
child’s school, postmarked between March 3 and May 2, 2014, to be
included in the initial review and enrollment process. Children will be accepted for participation based on the application rating system, up to the capacity for each school’s program. Once PrimeTime has reached its capacity, children not accepted for participation will be placed on a wait list, in the same order of priority, and will be accepted as space becomes available.
Families with children enrolled in San Diego Unified School District schools are eligible to apply if their school of attendance is offering a PrimeTime program. PrimeTime is free to all participating families.
At many program sites, demand exceeds capacity; therefore, enrollment is based on need and compliance to the attendance policy. Families will be contacted when they have been selected for an available opening. Children who apply but are not enrolled will be placed on a wait list.
PrimeTime operates every regular school day. Parents/guardians may choose to have their child(ren) attend the before school and/or after school program.
PrimeTime is available before school hours at most, but not all schools, and start times vary among schools. Before school programs operate for a minimum of 90 minutes.Students are expected to attend everyday for the full range of program hours.
After school, PrimeTime remains open until at least 6 p.m. each day for a minimum of 15 hours per week. Students are expected to attend everyday for the full range of program hours.
