Willow Grove ESS

 

 

 

 

 

The Extended Student Services (ESS) Program extends the hours of supervision on the school campus to include before and after school enrichment, as well as offering programming during certain district recesses or breaks. ESS is a voluntary-use program. Our organization works diligently to accommodate and serve families in need of before- and after-school care. Enrollment in an elementary school does not guarantee enrollment in the ESS program; separate enrollment is required to participate. As a growing program, each ESS site may experience limitations that affect enrollment capacity and may impact the program’s ability to enroll additional students at any given time.

 

 

 

The Extended Student Services Program provides safe, engaging and fun environments and experiences to help children develop their social, emotional and physical skills. ESS is staffed by qualified leadership and trained program aides who provide a comprehensive program of developmentally appropriate activities.

 

 

 

Financial assistance is available to those who qualify through San Diego County programs. In order to apply for these programs (YMCA and CDA only) you need to do the following: Go to the website at https://childcaresandiego.com/ or call (800) 521-0560 and let them know you need financial assistance. Since these programs are not through the district, we are unable to give status information on your application. You will be contacted by phone and/or mail if they can assist you with childcare. You may be eligible for free or reduced-fee ESS services if you are eligible for free or reduced price school lunch. You can fill out an application for free/reduced price lunch HERE. If indeed, you are eligible, you can apply for free or reduced cost ESS services by clicking the link below. You will need to upload your notification from Food and Nutrition to your application. Families experiencing housing instability or children that are unaccompanied or foster youth may be eligible for a scholarship to ESS through a direct referral from PUSD's Youth in Transition (YIT) program. To determine if you are eligible for this referral and scholarship to ESS, please contact Laura Upson, YIT Coordinator, by email at [email protected] or call the YIT office at (858) 748-0010 ext. 4086.
