Step into the realm of Falcons Accelerate at Feaster Charter School, where students soar beyond the ordinary! Our before and after school programs offer an unparalleled opportunity for Transitional Kinder through middle school students to thrive in. Our approach reaches out to the whole child to provide with physical, social-emotional and academic enrichment to give them the skills to succeed in the 21st century. With Falcons Accelerate, ignite your child's curiosity and passion through a dynamic blend of enriching activities, from STEM exploration to arts and athletics. Join us in propelling young minds forward as they discover, learn, and excel!

Space is limited and waitlist will be used. In the case of a waitlist, priority for the program will extend first to our unduplicated pupils (foster, unsheltered, English Language Learners, and socio-economically disadvantaged). Then it will extend to other students on a first come first serve basis.

Falcons Accelerate (ELOP) Behavior/Code of Conduct

Our ELOP/Falcons Accelerate staff employs positive discipline methods, including restorative practices, to promote self-control, independence, and cooperation. By using restorative practices, we aim to resolve conflicts, build relationships, and foster a sense of community within the program. Along with setting reasonable limits, we help children understand what is expected of them, ensuring that they feel secure knowing we care enough to prevent them from hurting themselves or others.

All rules and regulations that apply at every Feaster Charter/CVESD school site are also enforced in the ELOP program. Participation in ELOP is a privilege, and any disruptive behavior that negatively impacts the program may result in dismissal. Please review the following behavior expectations for the Falcons Accelerate ELOP. Violations of these expectations can lead to dismissal:

1. Students are expected to follow the directions of adult staff on campus. If they present a safety concern to themselves or others, this could result in immediate dismissal from the program.

2. Students are expected to exercise care when using charter school property, including but not limited to: computers, games, PE equipment, books, pens, pencils, school supplies, etc.

3. Students are expected to follow all Feaster Charter/CVESD Board Policies and Regulations related to student behavior.

4. Students are expected to follow all Feaster Charter/CVESD policies regarding student cell phone use.

5. Students are expected to follow the Falcons Accelerate Attendance and Registration Policy

Falcons Accelerate Registration and Attendance Policy

1. Registration and Attendance Requirements:
• Students must be fully enrolled in Jumbula within the first two club days of attendance.
• If a student has 3 unexcused absences after registration is complete OR if they have not showed up for 2 consecutive club days, they will be placed back on the waitlist.
2. Initial Attendance Without Registration:
• If a student attends class for the first time without proper registration after the two-week grace period, they will be referred to the office.
• The office will contact the parent/guardian, and the student will be directed to a designated ELOP (Extended Learning Opportunities Program) club while waiting for their parent/guardian to pick them up.
3. Subsequent Attendance Without Registration:
• If a student attends class without proper registration for a second time (or any further occurrences), they will be sent directly to the office.
• The office will contact the parent/guardian to pick up the student.
4. Office Role: The office will not handle student registration but will serve as the initial hub for receiving and directing students either to a holding club or for parent/guardian pick-up.
5. Normal Instructional Time Attendance:
   • To participate in any afterschool learning activities, the student must have attended the normal day of instruction as well or received an excused absence for the normal instructional day.  Failure to attend normal instructional day class will result in the student not being able to stay for expanded learning activities AND result in an unexcused absence for the ELOP club attendance policy.

Note: Ensuring proper registration in Jumbula is the responsibility of the parent/guardian. This policy is in place to maintain accurate attendance records and ensure the safety and well-being of all students. By law, ELOP and afterschool clubs must maintain a 1:20 instructor to student ratio for grades 1^st and above. For TK / Kinder classes the ratio is 1:10.
