The program offered will be free to students that are experiencing homelessness, in foster care, on free or reduced lunch or are an English language learner. All programs will operate every school day until 6:00pm.

 

There are five after- school programs available to MPUSD families.

Priority enrollment is based on the following criteria:
  • Experiencing Homelessness/Foster Placement (State mandated requirement)
  • Qualify for the Free/Reduced Lunch Program (State mandated requirement)
  • Prior Enrollment in ASA (Grant plan to keep consistency for the student and family)
  • Siblings (Grant plan to keep the family unit together)
  • Balancing grade level groups (Grant requirement to maintain the student/staff ratio)
  • Prior good attendance, participation, and behavior in ASA. (ASA is not a childcare or babysitting program.) The grant requires a comprehensive program, including Academic Support, Enrichment Activities, and Nutrition opportunities, and to ensure that spots are filled by students that are benefiting from what is offered. Students are expected to attend everyday they are in school and stay until the end of the program day in conjunction with family needs for early release.
 
Once all spots have been filled, a waiting list of students by grade level will be initiated and referrals will be made to our community partners. Waiting lists do not roll over from one year to the next.
