STUDENT INFORMATION
PICK-UP & EARLY RELEASE
Daily attendance is required of students participating in the Expanded Learning Program. The Expanded Learning Program requires programs stay open until 6:00 p.m. and for 15 hours per week. However, it is understood that family commitments, health-related appointments, other outside activities, or safety issues will occur during the Expanded Learning Program hours. For occasions such as these, you may request an early release time for your student to be picked up from program.

The survey will be given twice this school year, as a pre-survey in October and post-survey in May. This is a very important survey that will help us evaluate and improve the Expanded Learning program, which offers your child activities designed to promote academic achievement and the development of positive social and emotional skills.

  • Survey Content. The survey gathers information on how well the after school program supports development of socio-emotional skills related to school success including growth mindset, self-perceptions of academic competence, self-regulation, school engagement, perceptions of social competence, self-efficacy, concern for others, and/or grit/perseverance.
  • It is Voluntary. Your child does not have to take the survey. Students who participate only have to answer the questions they want to answer and they may stop taking it at any time.
  • It is Confidential. The results from this survey will be compiled into county-level reports used for evaluation of the Expanded Learning program. No individual student results will be reported. Results will be made available for analysis only under conditions of strict confidentiality. Your child’s last name and birthday will be asked on the survey form, only for the purpose of matching the pre-survey with the post-survey.
  • Potential Risks. There are no known risks of physical, psychological, or social harm to your child.
  • For Further Information. If you have any questions about this survey, about your rights, or do not want your child to participate in this survey, please call the Fresno County Superintendent of Schools, Department of Safe and Healthy Kids at 559-497-3887.
