Expanded Learning Opportunities Program
The Rocklin Unified School District (RUSD) offers the Expanded Learning Opportunity (ELO) program after-school care for qualifying students per school year. It will also be available during many school breaks. The ELO program is available for Transitional Kindergarten - 6th-grade students who qualify as English learners, are eligible for a free or reduced-price meal, or are foster youth.
Rocklin Unified partners with Catalyst Kids to offer this program at each elementary school.
Families interested in signing up for the ELO program may contact their child's elementary school.
The ELO program at early start schools (Breen, Cobblestone, Rock Creek, Ruhkala, Twin Oaks, and Valley View) will operate from school dismissal until 5:00 p.m.
The ELO program at late-start schools (Antelope Creek, Parker Whitney, Quarry Trail, Rocklin Elementary, Sierra, and Sunset Ranch) will operate from school dismissal until 5:30 p.m.

Program Information
Homework/Academic Enrichment
Students complete their homework and extend their learning through engaging teacher-led group activities that are connected to the Common Core State Standards. When students do not have homework, activities such as card/board games, art, craft projects, and STEM challenges are offered to promote skill building while having fun.
Core Enrichment
Students build on their 21st Century Skills of Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, and Critical Thinking (4Cs) through group activities that are linked to their interests and personal lives. Core Enrichments provide students with opportunities to expand their horizons and to practice their leadership skills during the planning and facilitation of the group activities.
Indoor/Outdoor Open Recreation
Students make their own choices to enhance their learning by engaging in various interest areas where learning domains are interwoven (dramatic play, art, reading, blocks/construction, etc.) as teachers engage and interact with them. Students practice their personal responsibility, decision-making, self-management, and relationship skills during this time.
Meeting Time
Teachers and students welcome each other and share information about activities that will happen during the day. This is a time when teachers engage children in different Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) activities to build on students’ self-awareness and friendship skills using team-building activities and self-reflection questions.
