Project SAFE in Santee is the Santee School District's year-round before-and-after-school program, administered from the district office on Cuyamaca Street and operating at eight elementary campuses across the 92071 ZIP code. The K-through-8 program shares the after-school youth-development mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of East County on Tamberly Way, though Project SAFE restricts enrollment to students currently attending a Santee School District campus. Supervised homework time, structured recreation, and an afternoon snack are included during each after-school session, with extended programming running through spring, summer, and winter breaks. Indoor and outdoor athletic rotations at participating campuses complement the league-format sports available at Sportsplex USA Santee on Riverwalk Drive for families seeking additional competition-level activity. Registration requires online enrollment through the district's Expanded Learning Programs Department, with per-child fees published on the Santee School District portal under the Project SAFE fee schedule.
