District launches Pathwise’s Out of Schooltime Tracker software to streamline ELO program registration, attendance, and reporting for thousands of parents and students
June 4, 2025 (Lynnwood, Wash.) – Pathwise, a leading provider of operational and compliance software for the education sector, announced today that the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) has successfully launched its Out of Schooltime Tracker software solution to manage the district’s Extended Learning Opportunity (ELO) programs.
SDUSD is California’s second-largest school district, serving more than 90,000 students from pre-school through 12th grade. Its ELO offerings, such as its Summer PrimeTime Program, provide enriching opportunities for students in the arts, sports, STEM, dance, and more outside the traditional school day and year.
To enhance the experience for its families as well as to provide real-time access for program providers, eliminate attendance-related accountability concerns, and reduce staff workload, the district sought to replace its disparate enrollment and attendance systems with a unified platform that would provide a more modern, user-friendly system. After a competitive RFP process, SDUSD chose Pathwise’s Out of Schooltime Tracker solution for its ability to seamlessly handle registration, attendance tracking, and reporting for its ELO programs available to TK-8th grade students—all in one place.
The launch of Out of Schooltime Tracker for the upcoming summer ELO programs is complete. More than 60,000 students were invited to apply, with parents and guardians receiving automated email and text notifications when registration opened. Thanks to easy integration with the district’s student information system (SIS), key student-related fields are prepopulated in Out of Schooltime Tracker, making the registration process faster and easier for families. Within the first 24 hours alone, more than 13,000 applications were submitted — a number that continues to rise.
“Pathwise is proud to support San Diego Unified in delivering equitable, accessible out-of-school learning experiences,” said Nate Brogan, CEO at Pathwise. “Innovative districts like SDUSD are leading the way in using technology to simplify program management, improve communication with families, and ultimately expand access to high-quality enrichment opportunities. We’re excited to be part of their mission to create enriching, inclusive experiences for students beyond the classroom.”
