Extended Day Learning Program

The Appleton Area School District offers high-quality, sustainable out-of-school time learning opportunities and programming for students.

These programs are provided through partnerships with the Appleton YMCA and Boys & Girls Clubs of the Fox Valley (BGC). Site coordinators are located at each school to create vital links between the student's school hours and non-school hours.

Where to Start

Berry, Classical, Edison, Ferber, Houdini, Huntley, and Jefferson also have transportation available to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Fox Valley in Appleton in addition to onsite YMCA programming. Families will need to complete a membership form. There is a 24-hour turnaround for the memberships and sign-ups to be processed and a confirmation email will be sent to families once the membership has been approved.
