After School Program 

Caliber’s After School Program is provided and run by BACR (Bay Area Community Resources). BACR is a regional nonprofit agency and our mission over the last 40 years has been to promote the healthy development of youth and families, encourage service and volunteerism, and build strong, collaborative and equitable communities.

 

 

The 2026-2027 After School Program Application is open for all families. Families who submit an application will be automatically waitlisted and enrolled on a rolling basis as student class size and staff capacity allows, after they attend the mandatory orientation scheduled for August 27th. There will be no additional family orientation session for the remainder of the Fall 2026 semester.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What if I missed the family orientation sessions in April and August? Can I still apply?  

A: Yes, click here to submit an ASP application for the 26-27 school year.  Please note that applications received during this application cycle will be automatically waitlisted and enrolled on a rolling basis as class size and staff capacity allows, and after they attend a mandatory orientation session. If you did not attend a family orientation session in April or August, you will have to wait until the next scheduled orientation, which will not take place until the Spring 2027 semester (exact date TBD). 

Q: I submitted my application and attended the makeup family orientation session in August. When will I receive an enrollment update?  

A: Families who submitted their application successfully and attended the orientation session on August 27th will automatically be added to the waitlist. Families will only receive a notification when a spot for their student becomes available, as class size and staff capacity allows. 

Q: My ASP Coordinator said my child's grade level cohort is full. When can I expect an update on their waitlist status? 

A:  In ASP, we must adhere to student to staff ratios that remain in compliance with CA Department of Education grants that allow us to offer services at no cost to our families. In order to remain in compliance, we cannot, under any circumstance, enroll additional students when a grade-level cohort is full. Unfortunately, we are unable to predict when space will become available, as it is dependent on if current students on the roster are dropped. 

Q: My application was waitlisted. Can I find out where my student is on the waitlist? 

A: Students will be taken off the waitlist on a rolling basis as class-size capacity and staff-to-student ratios allow.  We will reach out to you via email as soon as a spot opens up for your student, but unfortunately we are unable to provide an exact timeline of when students will be taken off the waitlist. We understand how important this program is to our families and we appreciate your understanding as we strive to serve as many students as we can.

Q: Why am I still on the waitlist if I attended the April orientation and submitted an application for my student as soon as the application opened? 

A: Enrollment in ASP is not on a first-come, first-serve basis. Students are enrolled based on their priority-enrollment status which includes TK-6th grade students who are: in TK-6th grade, experiencing homelessness, foster youth, English Language Learners, and/or qualify for free/reduced lunch. ASP must adhere to priority enrollment requirements in compliance with CA Department of Education grant guidelines. 

Q: My student is in 7th and/or 8th grade. Will they be considered for enrollment in ASP? 

A: 7th/8th grader siblings of  prioritized TK-6th grade students will be considered for enrollment in ASP, as class capacity allows.

Q: Who do I contact if I have questions about ASP enrollment?  

A: If you have any questions regarding 26-27 ASP enrollment and application processes, please email ASP Coordinator, Kalayla Roark, kroark@bacr.org

We understand how important the After School Program is to our Caliber community and appreciate your understanding as we strive to serve as many students as we can.

 

The California State Legislature has allocated ongoing funding designated for expanded learning through the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P). In compliance with state guidelines, the Expanded Learning team is required to prioritize unduplicated students for enrollment. 7th and 8th graders will be prioritized for siblings of Unduplicated TK-6th grade students. These qualifications include TK-6th grade students who are:

• In TK-6th grade 
• Experiencing homelessness
• Foster youth
• English Language Learners
• Qualify for free/reduced lunch

While we encourage all families to apply, please keep in mind that priority will be given to students who meet these criteria. If you have any questions regarding priority enrollment requirements, please feel free to reach out to expandedlearning@caliberschools.org.
