After School Program

 

The After School Program is offered five days a week from 3:00-5:15pm. The program will operate from Tuesday, September 6, 2022 – Friday, May 26, 2023. Students in 1st – 4th grades from any Viroqua area school- whether that be public, private, chartered or home-schooled- may be admitted to the After School Program.

The required program registration materials can be found below. Families only need to submit one enrollment form. However, it is necessary to complete a health form for each participating child.

“Enrollment Day” to register for the 2022 – 2023 school year was on Wednesday, June 22nd at 6:00pm in the Library’s Lobby. The program filled at this time.

Please submit completed Enrollment Forms throughout the school year to join the After School Program’s waitlist. You will be contacted within a week to communicate about the status of the program’s waitlist.

The After School Program follows the Viroqua Area School’s calendar. The After School program will follow VAS cancellations or early dismissal due to bad weather.

Each day the students will receive a healthy snack upon arrival at the library, then activity/exercise time at Eckhart Park, Park Bowl, or the library’s garden followed by free-time activities at the library including reading, music, drawing, and others. Pick up begins at 4:45pm and ends promptly at 5:15pm.
