School and district administration will act according to the Magnolia ISD Student Code of Conduct and may include removing the student from the Early Morning Care Program for a period of time or even permanently.

After School
Welcome to the Adventures After School Program!
The Adventures After School is a fee-based program that provides a fun and educational environment where children are engaged and have a sense of belonging through adventurous and meaningful activities outside of school. The program operates at all Magnolia ISD elementary campuses for students in grades pre-k through 6.
We recognize that children have been in school all day and the intent is to provide students with a healthy blend of fun, meaningful, and adventurous activities to keep them engaged during their time after school. All activities are designed with educational enhancement in mind; however, the main emphasis and delivery method is fun!
The program has many academic and enrichment-based components and activities will rotate from movement to hands-on as children transition throughout the afternoon participating in STEM, literacy, physical fitness, creativity, problem-solving, college and career readiness, healthy living, leadership, family engagement opportunities, and more.
