ABC EXCELS PROGRAM
ABCUSD Expanded Learning Program - After School
The ABC Unified School District offers the ABC EXCELS Programs for families needing after-school care for their children. ABC EXCELS offers programs for TK-8th grade students, giving them a structured afternoon with homework time, hands-on learning activities, and sports.
ABC EXCELS consists of two free programs (for those who qualify) - After School Education Safety and Expanded Learning Opportunities Program - and a fee-based Extended Day Program offered to all families.
The program focuses on four components:
- Nutritious Snack - Students will receive a snack each afternoon.
- Homework Support - Students will have structured time to complete homework assignments and get help when needed.
- Educational Enrichment - Students will have fun with hands-on learning activities including social-emotional learning and Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math projects.
- Physical Activity - Organized sports and team-building activities will be offered.
