MPUSD receives federal and state grants to provide free after school programs at all of our TK - 8 campuses for the following groups of students:

Homeless students
Foster youth
Free or reduced price meals
English Learners

Space is limited in all programs. At some of our campuses, the number of these students is very high. After school programs are free for all students at these schools.

How do I enroll in the program offered at my child's school?

Does the program provide something for my child to eat?

Does my child need to stay every day until the end of the program?

Can I give permission for my child to walk home or ride their bike home?

A parent or guardian can give permission for their child to walk home or ride their bike home by completing the "Parent Request to Walk or Bike Home" form. This form will be kept on file for our records. Once the student leaves for the day, they will be considered to have been signed out of the program.

As the hours of daylight change, we will ask parents to adjust the time that they want their child to leave so that they can return home before dark.

How are free after school programs funded?

What if I would prefer an after school program that is not on the school campus?

The ELOP offered on the MPUSD campuses are not the only option provided for our students. There are four locations that partner with MPUSD to provide after school programs in their clubhouses. You are in no way obligated to choose any of the MPUSD After School Programs for your children.

The Boys and Girls Club

The Marina Teen Center

The Village Project

YMCA

There are other after school programs that are available to children that do not partner with MPUSD.

The United Way 2-1-1 Program offers many community resources for you to choose from.
