All DVUSD schools and programs are closed through 5/21/2020. We are working to provide credits for Community Education programs and classes, which includes Spring Break, Before & After Care, general education Preschool & Prekindergarten, the Early Learning Center (two-year old program), and after-school Enrichment classes.

Our staff is beginning to work remotely the week of March 30, after our offices were closed the two weeks prior. We ask your patience and understanding as we work through these as quickly as we can.

Since our staff is working from home, the best means of communication is by email directly to the person you are trying to reach.  Please see list at bottom of page.

 For the most up-to-date information from Deer Valley administration, please visit www.dvusd.org/covid19. Thank you for your patience and understanding.  

2020-2021 Registration has been postponed until 12:01 AM on Wednesday, April 29, 2020

This program will be offered at both The Traditional Academy at Bellair and Union Park. 

Each school year requires a new registration, and enrollees are accepted on a first come, first served basis, subject to complete information and documentation. 

Early registration is highly recommended.

Register Early!  

We typically ask that people start registering early because of the high volume of registrations we receive for our various programs. We offer the incentive of a reduced registration fee in the hopes that you will submit your information early. It takes us several months to work through the large number of contracts that we receive for our programs, so we do appreciate when you submit your registration early and we thank you for your patience.  Our team continues to work diligently to process them as quickly as possible. 

We also encourage early registration as some sites will reach capacity and close.  You may be added to a site's waiting list by completing the online registration.  This registration contract will remain in a pending status and secures your space on the waiting list for the school year in which it is wait-listed.  If a site re-opens, the pending registrations will be processed  in accordance with the number of spots that open at that time.  There is a possibility that a site may not re-open. 

Please do not try to create your registration application until the new program year/season has opened.  If you start an application for the old year -- prior to the new year opening -- you will not be able to change the program year on this registration once new year opens; it will automatically default back to the old year and you may lose your placement status, as all contracts are approved on a first come, first serve basis, and are date and time stamped upon submission.  

• Please submit your registration early. 
• Registrations received after July 15th may be subject to a delayed start date. 
• Some sites reach capacity early and will close; we make every effort to re-open when appropriate staffing and space is available
  • If you, or someone you know, is interested in working in a child care program, please complete an employment application here 
• To secure your place on a waiting list at a closed site, you must complete an online registration (see link below under How to Register)

A new and separate registration is required for each school year.  

Our programs provide a safe, on-site, enriching environment for students before and after their regularly scheduled school day by incorporating activities indoors and out, as well as homework assistance, tutoring and organized play.  Before & After Care is available to students age 5-14 in grades K-8; students must attend school at the site where the program is offered.  Early entry kindergarten students are eligible to attend this program once they have reached their 5th birthday. 

6:30 a.m. until start of school
School release until 6:00 p.m., including early release days
Monday through Friday, excluding school holidays/closures

• Consistent plan is for the same days every week for the entire school year, whether 3, 4, or 5 days per week.  Mornings and afternoons must all be the same days to qualify the $14 daily AM/PM rate; if the reserved days are not the same, you will be charged the morning rate of $6 per day and the afternoon rate of $10 per day.  Additional days will be at the rate of $11 for mornings, $15 for afternoons, or $19 for morning and afternoon.  This plan is designed for those families with a consistent schedule that remains the same every week.
• Pick Your Days plan is for 3, 4, or 5 days per week.  The days may vary, and you choose which weeks you will use for the calendar month. You may reserve for as few or as many weeks at a time as you wish, but we do ask you to choose your days for a minimum of the calendar month to avoid additional charges.  Your weeks chosen do not have to be consecutive weeks.  A calendar will open during registration to allow you to see the dates.  You may reserve additional weeks throughout the year if you are uncertain of which weeks you need.  PLEASE NOTE that on this plan, any days that are added after the invoice has been issued for the next month will be charged as additional days and/or be subject to a change fee.  In addition, if days are added to a week you do not have scheduled, you will be charged the Daily Drop In rate.  This plan is designed for families who have fluctuating schedules that may change from week-to-week. 
  • Your schedule and/or schedule changes on the Pick Your Days plan must be submitted to your account representative BEFORE the invoice date (see below)
    • •  

      Daily Drop In is for occasional days when you need care but you are not on a regular plan.  No discounts available.  Dates not chosen and approved in advance are subject to availability at the site.  It is recommended that you choose your dates in advance, if possible, to ensure the dates you require.  Please note, however, that dates reserved but no longer needed must be removed; once they are invoiced, they are locked in and will not be refunded.  

       

• Employee Only-PLC 90-Minute Early Release Friday plan is only for qualified DVUSD employees.  This is a separate contract from any other plans or days that may be needed.  This plan does not include conference or half days, and only provides care for 90 minutes on those days designated as Professional Learning Community (PLC) days.   If an employee needs care for days other than PLC Fridays, they will need to submit two (2) separate contracts.  Please contact your Account Representative if you need assistance.  Please only reserve those days that you require.
  

Invoices will be generated around the 25th of each month for a due date of the 1st of the upcoming month; this date will vary for weekends and holidays.  Once invoices are generated, your dates are locked in for the month, and you will need to email your account representative (see below) to modify your schedule.  Please watch for messages on your monthly invoices regarding invoice dates, especially around holidays and break times.  

Invoice Dates for 2020-2021 are listed below. All changes must be requested prior to each of these dates for the upcoming month:

• July 27th
• August 25th
• September 25th
• October 26th
• November 20th (due to Fall break)
• December 16th (due to Winter break)
• January 25th
• February 25th
• March 25th
• April 26th

• All payments are due on the 1st of the month
• If the last week of the month continues into a new month, you must select your days for the entire week

• For example, September ends on Wednesday, 9/30/2020; if you need Thursday and Friday of that week (10/1 & 10/2), you must select these dates, as well
• Call your Account Representative if you have questions or need assistance; they are listed below

We ask that you carefully consider your choice of days.  While you don't want to reserve days you don't need, you also want to be sure that the days you do need are reserved in advance.  Unscheduled additional and/or drop ins may not be permitted, especially on early release PLC Fridays.  All additional and/or drop in days must be submitted and approved by Wednesday in order to attend Friday.  Requests may be denied if a site does not have sufficient staffing to meet licensing requirements; dropping in unscheduled on this day will result in your child being sent to the office for your pick up.  If you know you will need care on the weekly PLC 90-minute early release days, we recommend you reserve these days in advance; at the same time, we ask that you not reserve this day if you know you will not need it.
