SDUSD PrimeTime Extended Day Program
2026-27 PrimeTime Extended Day
August 10, 2026 through May 26, 2027
San Diego Unified School District’s (SDUSD) Extended Learning Opportunities Department works collaboratively with the PrimeTime Partner Organizations to offer a PrimeTime Program for grades TK-8. The PrimeTime Program provides an engaging environment where students can strengthen their academic skills and participate in fun enrichment activities within the areas of Art, Science, Music and Athletics, while improving social skills. Students who participate in PrimeTime will be offered a free nutritious snack.
Student Eligibility
All TK-8 students at the 144 PrimeTime schools are eligible to apply for PrimeTime services. Our goal is to expand PrimeTime services to meet the needs of our community throughout the 2026-27 school year.
The California Department of Education has recently designated SDUSD as a Rate 1 district under the Extended Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP). This new status provides universal access to all interested students in grades TK-6 who enroll during the initial enrollment application window (April 20, 2026 - May 1, 2026).
Note: Your student must be enrolled (or pre-registered) at the same school where you are applying for PrimeTime during the regular school day.
