1. How is my child(ren) eligible for the PrimeTime Program?

Child(ren) must be enrolled during the regular school day at the school to which you are applying for PrimeTime.  All families with children in elementary and middle schools interested in participating in PrimeTime during the 2024-25 school year are required to submit an online application. This includes children currently participating in PrimeTime and children on the wait list.

2. Is there criteria for priority enrollment?

Under the California Department of Education (CDE) Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) grant requirements, students who meet at least one of the following criteria will be given priority registration.  In the event the program reaches capacity the earliest date and time will be the tie breaker.

Homeless/foster youth (highest priority)

English Language Learner

Free or reduced-price meal eligibility based on the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) Income form.

If a program reaches capacity the submission date and time will be considered.  All other students not meeting the above criteria, registration will be first come, first serve based on program capacity.

3.  What is the online application process?

The application will be available online beginning Monday, March 4, 2024, at 8:00 am PST (Pacific Standard Time). An email address and internet access will be required to create an account to complete an application. 

4. Does submitting an application guarantee participation in PrimeTime?

It is anticipated that the demand for PrimeTime services may exceed the program capacity at most schools; therefore, it is extremely important that the application be completed and submitted within the initial application timeline. Completed applications that are submitted by the deadline during the initial application timeline will be reviewed for the initial enrollment period. Children will be accepted for participation based on the CDE ELOP grant requirements, 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. 

5. What is the initial application timeline ( March 4-April 12, 2024) ?

Applications will be available online beginning Monday, March 4, at 8:00 am PST and must be completed and submitted online by Friday, April 12, at 9:59 pm PST to be included in the initial review and enrollment process.

6. When will I be notified of my child's application status (June 19, 20024)?

Parents/guardians who complete and submit the application within the initial application timeline will be notified via email of the status of their application on Friday, June 14. The email will notify families of whether their child(ren) has been accepted to participate, placed on a wait list, or is not eligible for the before and/or after school PrimeTime Program. 

7.  If my child is accepted, what do I need to do next (July 19, 2024)?

Once notified of acceptance, the 2024-25 PrimeTime Student Participation Forms are required to be completed before your child can begin participating in the program. The 2024-25 Student Participation Forms will be available on the PrimeTime website and through the organization providing services at your child's school. Forms must be submitted by Friday, July 19.  Students with incomplete 2024-25 Student Participation Forms may be disenrolled from PrimeTime.  

8. What happens if I submit an application after April 12, 2024? 

Applications are accepted throughout the school year. Applications submitted after April 12, will be considered in priority order, as space becomes available.
