Welcome to the Expanded Learning Opportunities Department at Bay View Academy. We are proud to provide engaging, safe, and enriching afterschool experiences for our students

Core Program Components

Each ELO program includes:  

• Academic Support
• Nutritional Snack
• Physical Activity
• Enrichment Activities

Cost and Financial Support

There is no cost for students who:

• Are experiencing homelessness
• Are in foster care
• Are English Learners
• Qualify for free or reduced-price meals (FRPM)

For families facing financial hardship, assistance may be available. Please contact the front office to learn more about available support options.

Programs may charge a fee for students who do not meet the eligibility criteria for free services. Bay View Academy employees are eligible for a discounted rate.

Program space is limited. Enrollment priority is given to:

1. Students experiencing homelessness or in foster care
2. Students who qualify for free/reduced-price meals
3. English Learners
4. Students previously enrolled in the afterschool program
5. Students with siblings already enrolled
6. Balancing grade-level groups to maintain program quality

Attendance & Expectations

Regular attendance, active participation, and positive behavior are essential.
ELO programs are funded through grants that require a comprehensive approach including:

• Academic support
• Enrichment
• Nutrition

To retain your child’s spot in the program, consistent attendance and engagement are expected. Students should attend daily and stay until the end of the program day unless early release is needed due to family circumstances.

Waitlist Process

Once a program reaches capacity, a waitlist will be created by school site and grade level. Families on the waitlist may be referred to community partners offering similar services.
Please note: Waitlists do not carry over from year to year.

Each Bay View Academy afterschool site reflects the unique needs of its community. We are proud to partner with:

• YMCA of Monterey
• STEAM@831

These partnerships help us deliver high-quality, engaging, and supportive programming tailored to our students.

Families participating in the Expanded Learning Opportunities (ELO) after-school program may qualify for scholarships, eliminating fees for enrolled students. This applies to qualifying families only. To qualify for a program scholarship, families must meet one of four criteria: 

• Qualify for free or reduced-price meals
• English Learners
• Are experiencing homelessness
• Are considered foster youth

Fee Structure (For Those Not Covered by Scholarship)

For families not qualifying for the full scholarship, the ELO program will continue with a fee structure similar to the 2025-2026 school year, with simplified, consistent monthly invoicing averaged across the 10-month program year:

• Single student Afterschool: $300/month
• Family rate: $490/month
• Afterschool Wednesday Only: Each Child: $80
• Single Student Before School: $100/ Each Additional Child $80
