Eagle After School Program

Eagle After School Community Learning Center Introduction

Our district has been awarded a 21st Century Community Learning Center grant.  This grant supports the creation of the Eagle After School Community Learning Center. This program will help elementary students meet state and school standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math; offers students a variety of youth development enrichment activities; and offers workshops and other educational services to the families of participating children.  

Mauston's Eagle After School Program is designed to improve academic achievement and social development for all participating elementary students.  The Eagle After School Program will work in conjunction with all Mauston Elementary Schools to offer students a wide variety of afterschool activities focused on academics, art, music, indoor and outdoor recreational play, positive behavioral choices, health and wellness, and developing positive social relationships. All of these activities will be tied to the core academic curriculum.  In addition, our staff will provide tutoring, academic enrichment, and homework help to students after school, making sure your child has the best chance of succeeding during his/her elementary years and beyond.
