Extended Day
Extended Day programs are offered to TK-6 grade unduplicated pupils (English learners, those qualifying for free/reduced priced meals under the NSLP, foster youth, homeless) who attend any of the thirteen district elementary schools at no cost. Programs are available every day school is in session, excluding three staff training days. Students transition to AUSD Adventures upon dismissal from the instructional school day and are able to participate in the program until 6:00pm. Multiple dismissal windows are made available to provide increased flexibility for families: 3:45pm-4:00pm, 4:45pm-5:00pm, and 5:30pm-6:00pm.
Registration for 2024-2025 School Year is now available.
Forms must be completed for individual students. Students currently enrolled in Adventures MUST re-register in order to participate. Our program does not have automatic reenrollment.
Qualifying unduplicated pupils must register through the Parent Portal. Log into your parent account and complete the "After School Program" form under the "Forms section." Non-qualifying students will be directed to complete the Lottery form linked in Parent Portal.
