The purpose of Northstar's After School Clubs program is to provide students with an opportunity to explore an area of interest while providing a safe and structured activity after school. Student expectations during our After School Clubs are very simple. We are asking students to be kind, helpful, and active members of their club each day that it meets. 

Our Quarter 3 After School Clubs will be held from 3:00-4:30 pm between Monday, January 29 and Friday, March 15. The exact days that the club will meet each week are outlined in the first table below. 

A confirmation email will be sent on Wednesday, January 24 to all families who have signed their student up for a club. The link to sign up will be sent via Skyward email to all Northstar families at the end of the day on Tuesday, January 16. Please direct any questions regardig this program to Justin Jablonske, Northstar Assistant Principal, at jjablonske@ecasd.us or 715-852-5111.
