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.
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.
Club Ins & Outs:
Check in: Check in is located in the LMC (Library) Members are expected to be signed in by 7:30am or 3:30pm respectively 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 the front door 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 review the family handbook and member agreement, as your family will be held accountable to the expectations listed there.
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.
