DASH Information
WHAT IS DASH? (Dynamic After School Hours)
DASH is a recreational program for children enrolled in 1st - 6th grade, funded by the Chula
Vista Elementary School District and operated by the SOUTH BAY FAMILY YMCA. Its
purpose is to supplement and enhance daily physical exercise for each child. There is no
homework assistance at DASH which operates after school for 2 hours a day on regular
school days and 3 hours a day on minimum days when school is in session. Students must
be enrolled in DASH in order to attend.
YMCA DASH staff are trained to work with children. They are First Aid/CPR certified and
have cleared fingerprint and background checks. Ratios for DASH are 1 YMCA staff to 25
students for our daily activities. Students who attend DASH are required to participate in
the activities provided that day for as long as they choose to attend the program. Our
activities commonly take place in multi-purpose rooms, outside on fields, and on blacktop
areas. They consist of daily assemblies, organized games, arts and crafts, and sports
clinics.
If students are attending DASH on a given day, they are expected to “DASH-in” within 10
minutes of
school dismissal, or directly after an extracurricular activity ends. Once a student DASHes
out of the program they must head to a specific pre-determined destination (i.e. home,
sports practice, parent
pick-up). Please understand staff may not confirm this with a child who is DASHing out. It
is the parent’s responsibility to ensure their child is going to a safe location. Additionally,
students may not loiter on the school grounds after or instead of attending DASH.
As a recreational program, DASH is designed to allow students to attend any days they
choose, as long as they attend two days a week, 30 minutes per day. Students are also
permitted to “DASH” themselves out from the program any time they desire only if they are
leaving campus or going to another organized activity. We understand DASH may not suit
everyone’s needs; therefore, at many of the schools we also offer a Licensed Childcare
Program. If you are interested in Licensed Childcare visit our main branch at 1201 Paseo
Magda, Chula Vista 91910 for rates and information.
We wish you the best of luck with the DASH lottery. Hope to see you soon!2019-2020

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. Why a lottery?
To ensure every family currently attending a DASH school has an equal chance of getting
accepted into DASH, currently enrolled DASH students must reapply every year.
Q. Who is eligible to enter the lottery?
Kindergarteners will not be accepted.
Students in grades 1st-6th who are enrolled in the 2019-2020 school year.
Q. Can I enter more than once?
NO. Each family will receive only one lottery number at a given school. Names and
addresses will be cross-checked. Any attempt to submit more than one application at the same
school or across multiple schools will result in immediate disqualification. If you are uncertain
which school your child will attend, please submit an application for your home school.
Q. How will the applications be selected?
A computer program will randomly choose the total number of lottery participants
distributed to each school. YMCA staff will pull valid applications according to the computer-
generated list of numbers until all of the spaces in the program are filled, and will continue in this
method for creating the wait list.
Q. How many students will be accepted into DASH?
Program staffing allows for the daily attendance of approximately 50 students per day.
Our automated system will automatically pull 50 students from the list. Children from the same
family will not be split up as long as their applications are submitted together.
Q. How will I know if my children are accepted?
Selected students, as well as the wait list will be available on Friday, April 26th, 2019. Lists
will be posted in the school office. Only students identified as ENROLLED will be required to submit
payment.
Q. What if my family is on the wait list?
DASH administrative staff will notify waitlisted families if and when they can start attending
the DASH program. This will be determined by the usage patterns at schools, which change
throughout the year. Though we strive to maintain the maximum daily attendance, there are no
guarantees a student on the wait list will be enrolled. If your application number is not announced
as ENROLLED, you will need to wait until a DASH admin representative contacts you before sending
your child (ren) to DASH.Q. What if I miss the lottery enrollment? If you missed the lottery enrollment, you will still be able to add your name to the existing waitlist. Applications must be submitted to the SOUTH BAY FAMILY YMCA at 1201 Paseo Magda, Chula Vista, CA 91910 and will be added in the order received (according to time stamp). Q. What if I am in another YMCA program? To be eligible for DASH, you must be current with all YMCA payments. If DASH conflicts with your enrollment in another YMCA program but you wish to attend DASH, you must cancel your program enrollment and give/honor any appropriate cancellation notices. Q. How does space become available in DASH during the school year? We appreciate when families who no longer need DASH inform us so we may enroll other students. Additionally, students may be dis-enrolled for any of the following reasons: poor attendance, late pickups, unpaid registration fees, and behavior challenges. Q. Am I able to turn in applications for children other than those living in my household? No, you may only turn in applications for children living in your household. We want to ensure all families directly receive a lottery number. Q. How do I go about enrolling my children if they attend a different school? When submitting your application in person, please inform our staff team your children attend different schools. We will need to take note of that to ensure you receive one lottery number. Please inform our staff team which school is considered your home school. Q. Why is there a one-time registration fee? Registration fees are a family’s commitment to the program. The fee helps with the financial sustainability for the DASH program so students may enjoy a safe, high quality program. Thank you for your interest and cooperation.

¿QUE ES EL PROGRAMA DASH?
DASH es un programa recreativo, financiado por el Distrito Escolar de Chula Vista y
operado
por SOUTH BAY FAMILY YMCA. Este programa es para alumnos de 1º a 6to año de
primaria.
El objetivo es complementar y mejorar el ejercicio físico diario de cada alumno. El programa
NO proporciona ayuda con las tareas. Los horarios son después de escuela, 2 horas en
días regulares y 3 horas en días mínimos durante el ciclo escolar del distrito. Todos los
estudiantes deben estar inscritos en DASH para poder asistir al programa.
Se requiere que todo el personal de DASH pase por una investigación de antecedentes, y
mantenga vigente la certificación de RCP y primeros auxilios. Hay un instructor por cada
25 niños para facilitar las actividades diarias. Por lo tanto, los estudiantes que asisten a
DASH están obligados a participar en las actividades planeadas del día durante las horas
que asistan al programa. Nuestras actividades normalmente se llevan a cabo en los salones
de usos múltiples, canchas de juego y zonas de asfalto. DASH incluye asamblea diaria,
juegos organizados, artes y oficios y clínicas de deporte.
Los estudiantes de DASH, deben llegar durante los primeros 10 minutos después de la
salida de escuela.
Cuando el estudiante se retira del programa, debe dirigirse a un destino pre-determinado
(al hogar, práctica deportiva, o que lo recojan los padres). Es la responsabilidad de los
padres asegurarse que su hijo(a) vaya a un lugar seguro. Le comunicamos que el personal
no tiene forma de confirmar una vez que el niño(a) se despide del programa.
Como un programa recreativo, DASH está diseñado para permitir a los estudiantes que
asistan los días que ellos o su familia elijan, siempre y cuando asistan dos días a la semana
30 minutos por día. Entendemos que el programa DASH no puede satisfacer las
necesidades de todas las familias, por lo tanto, en muchas de las escuelas ofrecemos un
programa con licenciatura de cuidado de niños de edad escolar. Para más información
sobre ese programa, visite nuestra sucursal en 1201 Paseo Magda, Chula Vista 91910
Suerte con la lotería de DASH y esperamos verlos pronto.2019-2020
