Expanding Minds/YMCA

Woodland Joint Unified School District is proud to offer our new Expanding Learning Programs that includes the Expanding Minds sites, and the YMCA (Zamora and Spring Lake). Expanding Minds programs will be offered at the following elementary school sites: Beamer, Dingle, Freeman, Gibson, Maxwell, Plainfield, Tafoya, Whitehead, and Woodland Prairie. The Expanding Minds and YMCA programs are funded through a state grant and are open until 6:00 pm every school day. The program starts immediately after school and consists of homework support, intervention, enrichment, recreation and a nutritious snack. Our mission is to create an enriching, safe, academic and fun environment, conducive to learning, that will impact students’ education and lives in a positive manner. The program is open to students from transitional kindergarten (TK) to sixth grade.

All WJUSD elementary students are eligible to participate in this free program.

New Enrichment Partnerships Coming Soon to Expanding Minds sites:

Little Heroes- rescue recess, intramurals, and student leadership
Nutrition classes and financial literacy
Legos for Education- robotics, and engineering
Yolo Farm to Fork- school gardening
Woodland Opera House- dance and theater
Robotify- coding

2022- 2023 Enrollment Process:

Students who are enrolled in the former ASES program, for the 2022-23 school year, will automatically be enrolled into the new Extended Learning program.

Zamora Elementary and Spring Lake Elementary:

YMCA is providing the expanded learning program for Zamora and Spring Lake students.

Zamora families interested in enrolling can apply here.

Spring Lake families interested in enrolling can apply here.

Science & Technology (Sci-Tech) Elementary Charter School:

The principal, Maria Maritinez, will be sending more information for Sci-Tech students soon as the charter school receives separate funding and manages its own program.

Keep in mind all new Expanding Minds after-school enrollment will be placed on a waitlist after registering your child. This is due to statewide staffing challenges, there may be delays in enrollment, as we do not have enough tutors to serve all interested students at this time. We are working on hiring additional staff based on interest/enrollment. As we acquire additional tutors, we will continue enrolling students off the waitlist. Your school's expanded learning site support specialist (formly ASES coordinator) will follow up as soon as possible to begin enrollment. We aim to provide after school programs to all students as soon as possible, and to minimize time on the waitlist.
