2023-2024 School Year
For the 2023-2024 school year, there continues to be higher demand from the community for this type of enrichment program than PUSD has the capacity to enroll. As such, enrollment is now closed. If space becomes available, you will be contacted by Michelle McLoughlin, the site supervisor.
In the meantime, we wish your family all the best as you seek alternative before/after school care and enrichment programs for your child(ren). If you have not already done so, we recommend exploring the YMCA's Childcare Resource Service webpage to refer to other childcare options available in the community.
VOLUNTARY USE PROGRAM
All PUSD elementary schools have an Extended Student Services program on campus. Our organization works diligently to accommodate and serve working families in need of before and after school care. A student’s enrollment at an elementary school does not guarantee them E.S.S. enrollment. As a growing organization, each E.S.S. site may experience limitations that factor into the enrollment capacity and may prohibit the acceptance of additional students at any given time.

Mission Statement - "E.S.S. is a bridge between school and home where children are encouraged to learn, create, and explore within their school, community, and world."
Program Overview - This extended-day program expands the excellence of each child's school experience into before and after school. E.S.S. is staffed by highly qualified professionals and trained program assistants. The staff provides for the academic and social needs of children in safe and nurturing environments. There is time, space, encouragement, and support for learning good study habits.
