Fall 2020 School Year Programming
We know that schools starting the year with virtual learning poses a challenge for working families.
In response to the distance learning plans that local school districts have implemented, we have created the
PACE (Pathways to Academic and Creative Excellence) Program.
PACE is an all-day program that allows staff to help members with their distance learning activities in the morning while engaging in traditional Club activities in the afternoon.

Hours at Clairemont, Conrad Prebys Escondido, and 4S Ranch are 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM, Monday - Friday. Hours at Bronner are 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Monday - Friday.

Hours are 2:45 - 6:00 PM.

PROGRAM ACTIVITIES
Staff have developed program plans that are fun while providing academic support and meeting the current safety recommendations for no contact and social distancing.
Academic Support:
During the morning portion of the program, staff assist members with their distance learning activities.
- Members must have the ability to work independently and not disturb others.
- Members receive tutoring and other academic assistance from trained, professional staff, as needed.
- Electronic Devices:
- While some computers are available at our sites, we do not have enough for all members. Members are encouraged to bring their tablets or laptops with them, in addition to their own earphones.
- Tablets/laptops should be in cases and should be clearly marked with the member's name.
- Electronic devices may only be used for virtual learning activities.
- Members are not allowed to use their personal devices in the afternoon.
Club Activities:
During the afternoon portion of the program, members transition to traditional Club activities.
As of right now, there are no field trips, cooking projects, swimming, or activities that bring members into close contact with one another. If this changes, parents will be notified in advance.
Though our programs are modified this year, there are still a variety of activities, including (not limited to):
- Arts & crafts
- Literacy
- STEM
- Individual physical activities
*Members each receive their own supply kit (crayons, markers, pencils, glue stick, etc.) to reduce sharing.
**Please see your branch's Registration Packet for information on food and water.
