Caliber Expanded Learning Vision

Caliber’s Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) vision is that all youth experience a range of quality after-school, intersession, and other expanded learning opportunities that promote their intellectual, creative, and healthy development.
 
How do we do this? At Caliber, ELOP offers:
Before School Care
After School Program
Intersession Camps
Summer Camp

In compliance with state guidelines, the Expanded Learning team is required to prioritize unduplicated students for enrollment. 7th and 8th graders will be prioritized for siblings of Unduplicated TK-6th grade students. These qualifications include TK-6th grade students who are:

  • In TK-6th grade
  • Experiencing homelessness
  • Foster youth
  • English Language Learners
  • Qualify for free/reduced lunch

While we encourage all families to apply, please keep in mind that priority will be given to students who meet these criteria. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to expandedlearning@caliberschools.org.

 
2026-2027 Before School Care applications are now closed. The waitlist will remain open throughout the school year.

ELOP Waitlist Procedure

The ELOP team will reach out via email and text as soon as a spot opens up for your child, but we are unable to provide an exact timeline of when students will be taken off the waitlist.

7th and 8th Graders
Caliber’s Expanded Learning Programs are funded to serve eligible TK-6 students. In order to remain in compliance with program requirements, we are unable to enroll 7th and 8th grade students, including siblings of enrolled elementary students.
We understand this may create logistical challenges for families with students in both lower and upper school, and we recognize that this arrangement may not work for everyone. If having only your TK-6 student enrolled does not meet your family's needs, you may choose to decline the Before School Care placement. Should you decide not to accept the offered space, please email expandedlearning@caliberschools.org. 
 
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why was my younger child accepted but my older child was not?
Before School Care is funded and authorized to serve eligible students in grades TK-6. Students in grades 7-8 are not eligible for enrollment, regardless of sibling status.
 
Can an exception be made for siblings?

Unfortunately, no. We must follow the program's eligibility requirements to remain in compliance with funding guidelines.

What if this doesn't work for our family?

We understand that this may not meet every family's needs. Families may decline the TK-6 enrollment if they prefer not to have only one child participate.
