2024-25 PrimeTime Program

San Diego Unified School District’s (SDUSD) Extended Learning Opportunities Department administers the PrimeTime Extended Day Program (PrimeTime) offered at elementary, and middle school sites serving students in Universal Transitional Kindergarten (UTK) through eighth grade. PrimeTime partners with the following community based organization through contracted services to implement district funded programs. PrimeTime is free to all participating families and operates before and/or after school every regular school day.

Parents/guardians can feel comfortable knowing their child(ren) is receiving academic support, fun enrichment activities and interacting with peers in a physically and emotionally safe environment. 

The PrimeTime team is a collaboration among San Diego Unified School District Extended Learning Opportunities staff, PrimeTime Partner organizations, and other SDUSD departments and programs.

STUDENT ELIGIBILITY
 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.

PRIORITY CRITERIA
 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.

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.

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.

SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION DOES NOT 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.

 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.

NOTIFICATION OF APPLICATION STATUS (June 14, 2024)
 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.

ACCEPTED STUDENTS (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.
