Before School Program
 
Before School Program is available before school hours at the elementary (except for Emma Wilson, Shasta and Sierra View) and junior high (except for Marsh Jr) program sites for each grade level.  Hours of operation vary among schools.  Before school programs operate for a minimum of 90 minutes.  
It is the intent that students will attend every day for the full range of program hours, however we understand that families need flexibility in the morning.  Students may attend on days when they need the program, as long as they attend a minimum of 45 minutes on those days.  Attendance will be taken by the Before School Program Supervisor each day.  Please contact your school office to see where children meet each day.  There is no application required for the Before School Program.
