Welcome to the Boys & Girls Club of Foster Elementary School!
The Boys & Girls Club of Foster Elementary, an AASD 21st Century Community Learning Center/Extended Day Learning Program, provides before and after school high-quality youth development programming for all youth in grades K-6, including for students who are not enrolled at Foster Elementary School. The BGC of Foster Elementary is moving into its 1st year with the 21st Century Community Learning Grant. With this grant, we will be able to continue to provide more amazing academic opportunities for our Club members at Foster. This grant will also help our members meet local student standards in core subjects such as literacy and other educational services.

Learn More & RegisterCaregiver Portal:
We’ve launched a Caregiver Portal which will be your one-stop shop for all things related to registrations, payments, youth information, and more. ALL Club families will need to create an account via this Caregiver Portal. To learn more about this and to create an account visit our Caregiver Portal support page.
Check Ins & Outs:
Check-in: AM check-in is located at Door A. Members can be dropped off until 8:10am. PM check-in is located at Door G. Members are expected to be signed in by 3:30pm unless otherwise discussed with the director.
**Once students are checked into Club, they are checked in until either picked up or leaving for the day with parent permission (members cannot leave and come back, unless there is an appt. or circumstance discussed with the director ahead of time).
Pickup: Parents/authorized pickup people (if required) can enter through Door G or call/text our Club cell phone to have their children sent out.
While completing your membership in the Caregiver Portal please be sure to click here to review the family handbook and member agreement, as your family will be held accountable to the expectations listed here.
Fee Structure:
There is no fee for youth to attend this Club location, thanks to funding from a Department of Public Instruction (DPI) Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Center (21st CCLC) grant and support from the Appleton Area School District.
Medication Administration:
If your child needs to take medication during Club hours, please contact your Director to complete the forms needed. We cannot use the same medication form approval that is provided to the school district. Any medications taken at Club must be in a separate bottle with Club forms filled out by a physician and parent/guardian.
Important Dates & Special Hours:
The Boys & Girls Club of Foster is closed the first Friday of each month from September – May to dedicate to staff development. The Boys & Girls Club of Foster is always closed on any AASD no-school days but all BGCFV Club members are eligible to attend the Appleton Club on any no-school days.
