Frequently Asked Questions for Before and After School Programs
-
Will I need to reapply for child care in 2022-23?
Yes, everyone will need to reapply in order to participate in child care programs for the 2022-23 school year.
-
How do I know if I am eligible for ELO-P?
The ELO-P funding provided by the state is indicated for students who fall into one or more of three categories: English Language Learners, Free and Reduced Lunch*, and Foster/Homeless Youth. (*Meals have been provided to all students this school year at no cost; this does not automatically constitute eligibility.) Families will be notified directly of their eligibility in the coming days.
-
Where do I find my student’s ID Number?
Every student enrolled in Glendale Unified schools has a unique. 6-digit student ID number. This number is required for you to complete our forms. You can find this number on your child’s report card, your Parent Portal, your child’s Google Classroom, or by contacting your child’s school office to ask for assistance.
-
I am enrolled in ASES this year. Do I get priority enrollment for next year?
If you are enrolled in our program through ASES this year and have honored the ASES attendance requirements (5 days per week until at least 5:50 p.m.) you will have priority enrollment for our program for 2022-23.
-
Is there after school programming at the middle schools?
Yes. Teen Scene is funded through the ASES grant at Roosevelt, Toll and Wilson Middle Schools. Teen Scene at Rosemont is available for a fee with priority for those who need the most care. More information about Teen Scene sign ups will be available later this spring.
-
Will there be room for my private pay student?
We anticipate having private pay spots available, but we are not able to guarantee a space in child care for everyone who could potentially want it, as the number of spots we are able to offer in child care is dependent on staffing.
-
When will we know if our family has a spot in child care next year?
Confirmations for our program will be sent to families between April 15-30. We will also notify families who are waitlisted and not immediately placed.
-
Can I request care if I am new to GUSD and my child is not enrolled for next year at this time?

-
What if I only need care less than 5 days per week?
Our program capacity is subject to our staffing and we must follow required student to staff ratios and therefore we do reach capacity at many sites and have waiting lists.Therefore, our priority for enrollment is first to those students who are eligible and then for families who need the greatest amount of care. We do strive to meet the needs of all families and will do our best at each site to increase capacities if needed and work with families with varying schedules.
