Extended Day is the district’s school age care program
providing before and after school care and full-day

Students are actively engaged in a structured environment
to expand and develop their skills during their out of school
time hours. Designed to meet the needs of all families with
flexible scheduling including regular and drop-in contract
options.
Children have the opportunity to develop strong social skills
and positive relationships with peers, increase literacy and
math skills, participate in individual and group activities, and
work on special projects. Program activities include health
and fitness, service projects, arts and crafts, creative play,
languages and literacy, cooking, science, and much more.
In addition to this, off-site field trips and special events take
place throughout the year.
Because every child has special and unique needs, we
strive to work with families to create an atmosphere that
encourages growth. The partnership between parents, child,
school and staff is key to our success. To ensure quality and
compliance our staff/ student ratio is: 1 staff person per 12
kindergartners; and 1 staff person per 15 children for grades
1-6.
There will be opportunities for creative expression, decisionmaking and critical thinking. Students will have access to
a “coffee house” hang out space, classic arcade and billiard
games, art studio, and many other unique experiences.

elementary-based Extended Day sites (Oneka, Otter, Vadnais)
to Central Middle School for 5th-7th grade students. In
addition, families will have the option to give permission for
their student to walk/bike to FLEX or be picked up/dropped off
