Union's EDP Program To Be Free Through End Of 2022-2023 School Year

Starting in January, Union Public Schools will be using funding through the American Rescue Plan’s Child Care Services Stabilization Grant to cover the salary and benefits for extended day program employees through the end of the school year at 15 sites across the district. With those costs covered, Union will not charge extended day program tuition during the spring 2023 semester for families already enrolled in the program and not receiving assistance through the Oklahoma Department of Human Services.

Board Approves $2,000 Signing Bonus for Extended Day Employees

Board members approved an agreement between Union and the Union Support Employees Association to provide $2,000 sign-on bonuses for Extended Day employees. Union received additional grant funding from the Department of Human Services which will assist in the recruiting, retention, and training of difficult to fill school staff positions. This money will be made available to the district for the 2021-2022 school year.

Welcome!

The Union Extended Day Program (EDP) was created to provide safe, alternative educational child care, enhancing the child’s extended day for students enrolled in Rosa Parks Early Childhood Education Center and Pre-K through seventh grade. Recognizing the busy lifestyles of today’s family, the district attempts to work in partnership with home and parents by providing before and after school supervision at the school site. Plus, it's a lot of fun!

Children participating in the EDP program are provided the opportunity for activities and quiet time. Afternoon sessions include a snack and a short period of free time before a study hall and other structured activities. The Union Extended Day Program is an extension of the school day and has priority for use of the indoor and outdoor facilities from 6:45 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Only children enrolled for in-person classes at Union schools, grades prekindergarten through seventh grade as well as the Rosa Parks Early Childhood Education Center, may participate in the program. A child may enroll in the before-school session, the after-school session, or both.

Enrollment is required EACH YEAR FOR ALL STUDENTS! Enrollment must be completed online. Utilizing a credit card payment through EZChildTrack will be the quickest way to complete the enrollment process and be approved to attend EDP. We will close enrollment at each individual site once the site's capacity is filled and you will be put on a waiting list. You must notify your EDP site if any of your emergency information changes – especially phone numbers – to help guarantee your child’s safety.

Fees must be paid monthly and are due on the 15th of the preceding month. Enrollment requires the first month’s tuition paid in advance. A $25 non-refundable registration fee is required per child. (Maximum of $50 per family.)

We look forward to serving you!
