REVISED ESS LOTTERY TIMELINE
We extend our gratitude to our PUSD community for your patience and understanding as we navigate our inaugural year of centralized enrollment through the new ESS application management system.
Please take note of this important update to the lottery draw timeline for SY 24/25.
If you have any questions, please email [email protected]
We anticipate that interest in the ESS program will greatly exceed the enrollment capacity at each school site, resulting in most families being placed on a waitlist.

Also, we want to inform you about a slight change in the enrollment process for our incoming Kindergarten/TK students. In our previous communication, we mentioned that you could fill out the interest list for ESS before enrolling and being accepted into the school. However, we have received updated information that the process will now require you to enroll in school first and be accepted before being placed on the ESS interest list.
Once you have successfully enrolled and been accepted into the school, you will be able to proceed with the ESS Interest Application. You will need to use the parentVue account you receive from the district once you are accepted into the school to fill out the application. Since enrollment will be done by lottery, there is no advantage or disadvantage having to wait to apply.
ESS Overview
Mission Statement - "E.S.S. is a bridge between school and home where children are encouraged to learn, create, and explore within their school, community, and world."
Program Overview - This extended-day program expands the excellence of each child's school experience into before and after school. E.S.S. is staffed by highly qualified professionals and trained program assistants. The staff provides for the academic and social needs of children in safe and nurturing environments. There is time, space, encouragement, and support for learning good study habits.
Voluntary Use Program - ESS is a voluntary use program. All PUSD elementary schools have an Extended Student Services program on their campus. Our organization works diligently to accommodate and serve working families in need of before and after school care. A student's enrollment at an elementary school does not guarantee them ESS enrollment. As a growing organization, each ESS site may experience limitations that factor into the enrollment capacity and may prohibit the acceptance of additional students at any given time.
Program History - The E.S.S. program began in 1980 and is now offered in every elementary school in the Poway Unified School District. All children who attend elementary school in the District are eligible to enroll.
Program Activities - Our program is geared toward expanding each child's world through arts & crafts projects, science activities, reading and language arts reinforcement, and math concept development. Our program reinforces the social, motor, and academic skills children learn in the classroom.
Hours - E.S.S. is open daily, Monday - Friday, from 6:30 am to 6:00 pm.
