Extended Learning Opportunities (ELO) (Colorado)

Tool Search: Extended Learning Opportunities

Extended (or Expanded) Learning Opportunities are structured learning environments that occur outside of the traditional school day through before- and after-school, summer, and extended-day, -week, -year programs. These programs offer more personalized learning opportunities for students in areas such as the arts, civic engagement, and science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), as well as mentorship and general academic support.

This tool allows users to add, edit, or delete ELO student records. Users may also print a summary of all ELO records for the selected student. 

Use the Federal/State Program Updater tool to import and add ELO information to this tool.
