Extended Day Enrichment Program (EDEP)-K through 5 grades, EDEP was developed in response to the present and growing need for supervised programs for elementary age students during the out of school hours. Before the Bell (BTB)- 6 through 8 grades, the program components are planned to reflect school site enrichment activities and align with VCS district goals. 

During the 2020-2021 school year, the School Board of Volusia County will offer EDEP programs at 40 elementary schools and BTB programs at 10 middle schools. The VCS Before the Bell and Extended Day Enrichment Programs provide structured academic enrichment for school-age children K-8 grades to approximately 4200 students. Every child and youth should have a safe and supportive environment, while engaging in activities that support academic achievement and promote social, emotional, physical development before and after the regular school day. BTB/EDE Programs are staffed with qualified after school personnel.
