The entire PYLUSD Expanded Learning Department miss all of you and hopes everyone is healthy and safe.

We know many of you have questions in regards to March credits, Summer Camp and Fall Enrollment. We appreciate your patience as we work through the closures and develop plans to safely provide services for all of our PYLUSD Expanded Learning Families.

We are continually monitoring the "Stay at Home" orders as they are being lifted by Governor Newsom. Also, we are currently working in conjunction with our Superintendent, our District's Board of Education members and Orange County Department of Education to determine if we can operate a Summer Camp Program this summer. At this time we are not sure what the Summer Camp Program may look like if we are able to open this summer. We are not sure how many children we will be able to provide services to, what sites will be open for Summer Camp and if we can take children on field trips. We will continue to provide updates as we receive guidance on the services we can provide to our families this summer.

In the meantime, our Department has created this online hub to provide resources for all of our Expanded Learning Families. Families can utilize this Google Site to access fun learning actives and ideas for your children to engage in during temporary closures and provide valuable information to all of our Expanded Learning parents.

In reference to our current family's' account balances, we will not charge any program fees for any month we are closed. Every child's account will receive a half month credit for the month of March. That credit will be applied to any future child care program fees, either for Summer Camp (if able to attend) or for the 2020-2021 school year's monthly program fees.

If your child(ren) are not returning in the Fall or for those requesting a refund of their credited amount for March, we ask you to please email our department at expandedlearning@pylusd.org so we can process your refund.

We know some of our families are currently taking money out of your paycheck for daycare fees. Here is the link to the a letter (also found on our webpage) to give to your employer to adjust the amount of with holdings while we are closed. If you need a different letter, please contact us at expandedlearning@pylusd.org.

To register for Child Care for the 2020-2021 School Year, please click on the "Expanded Learning (Child Care)" link located at the top of this page for the directions for our new online procedures. Any questions about registration please email our department at expandedlearning@pylusd.org.

All of us in the Expanded Learning department are eager to get back to caring for your children. Thank you again for your patience during this time and we all hope you and your family are healthy.

Sincerely,

PYLUSD Expanded Learning Department
