Eagle Explorations Summer School 2018

Welcome to Eagle Explorations 2018! Mauston's Eagle Explorations Summer School will run June 11 - 29th and July 9 - 27th, 2018. We have a wide variety of courses for students of all ages. Some new items you will see this summer is the opportunity for elementary age students to have swim lessons as one of their summer school classes, additions to the middle school enrichment courses, and more credit earning opportunities for high school aged students. Registrations submitted after April 6 will be considered based on class availability.

We are also please to announce a partnership with the Hatch Public Library that expands classes for elementary students into the afternoon. Please see details in the course catalog or the sign-up sheets for the elementary level.

Update for 2018 Eagle Explorations

Class Schedules

Class schedules will be sent home the week of April 16th. Each year, we do our best to honor your requests for classes; however your child(ren) may have alternate classes in their schedule(s) or may not have all of the classes that you requested. This happens when we have to drop classes due to low enrollment or cap classes due to high enrollment. This year, we were able to extend offerings into the afternoon and add swimming registration for the morning; however, we had more students request these classes than the spots available. Please see information below for specific classes below.

Summer Swim Lessons

We had more students register for swimming lessons than we have spots available. Students who signed up for the Eagle STEM/Library Rocks class, may see that we were able to enroll them in a swim class during the early afternoon while they will still be on campus. For those of you that do not have swim in your schedule, there are additional times available for lessons. Please visit the on the Pool page additional times and how to sign up for afternoon lessons. Students who have swim, please make sure to bring swimsuits, towels, etc. for this class.

Library Rocks!

We had enough spots for everyone that requested the 12:30 - 2:00 Library Rocks class. However, we had more students register for the Eagle STEM/Library Rocks 12:30-4:00 session than we have spots available. We tried to make sure the all of the students that requested this class have it during one of the sessions, but we are not able to offer it to students both sessions. Those of you that have Library Rocks as part of your schedule will need to complete the enclosed library form and return it to school. We will forward it to the Hatch Public Library. Remember to get your library card.

Safety

Throughout the year, and during the summer we are always concerned about the safety of our students. This year we will be collecting additional information regarding student pickup at the end of your child's schedule. We will be sending home a child pickup form with students summer school schedules. Please complete the form and return it to school.

Pick up notes:

Lyndon Bus: If your child is riding the bus from Lyndon in the mornings, they will have time to eat breakfast before classes start. Pick up at Lyndon Elementary will be at 7:20 a.m. Drop off at Lyndon Elementary will be at 12:40 p.m.
Library Rocks! 12:30 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. Students attending Library Rocks! will need to be picked up from the Hatch Public Library at 2:00 p.m.
Eagle Stem/Library Rocks! 12:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Students attending Eagle STEM/Library Rocks will need to be picked up from the Hatch Public Library at 4:00 p.m.

Middle School Classes

We had low enrollment in summer classes for grades 6-8 this year. We have had to drop many of these offerings. In many cases there isn’t an alternate option for these students so you may not see a class in your middle school child(ren)’s schedule where you expected there to be one.

Registration Information

Registration

Please indicate your choices on the registration form, found on the last page of the catalog. Select classes based on the grade your child completed this year. Return the registration form to your child’s school office as soon as possible, as some classes have limited enrollment. Please be sure to select alternate classes where available. Students will be placed in classes with limited enrollment in the order in which their registration forms are received at school. We are extending the enrollment period to April 6. Please return forms to your school office. Any additional submissions received after April 6th will be considered depending on available space.
