Extended Care Programs

Georgetown Independent School District offers two programs that provide extended care opportunities for elementary and middle school students. The Extended School Enrichment Program operates on elementary campuses, and the After School Action Program provides after-school activites at middle school campuses. In addition, the district provides a child development center that offers daycare during the school year for the children of GISD employees and students. The Eagle Wings Child Development Center is an NAEYC accredited program that provides an early childhood curriculum for children ages 0-4.

Extended School Enrichment

Extended School Enrichment (ESE) Centers provide access to a safe, economically feasible before/after school and summer care that will support and enrich the lives of the participating students and their families. ESE conducts centers at each GISD elementary campus for children in Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade.

Children have opportunities to participate in activities, which benefit them emotionally, socially, physically, and academically. The enrichments include homework assistance, computers, tutoring, crafts, sports and games, art, science, music, gardening, nutrition and many additional educational, creative and cultural activities. A trained staff plans and conducts the program to meet the needs of the children and provides positive adult role models.

Each Center is licensed by the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services (DPRS) and is a “Texas Rising Star” through Child Care Management Services (CCMS), a division of the Texas Workforce Commission. Extended School Enrichment is designed with today’s working families in mind, and was developed by the Georgetown Independent School District and Partners in Education. ESE is totally funded by monthly student tuitions so a constant search for grants and support to expand and maintain our quality program occurs on a regular basis.

ESE continues to evolve with the demands of our growing and ever-changing community.

After School Action Program

The After School Action Program (ASAP) provides middle school youth with safe after school alternatives that promote responsibility and healthy decisions. A variety of activities are offered that challenge students both mentally and physically to reach their goals.

All GISD middle school 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students are encouraged to register. A parent or legal guardian must register his/her student(s) in person at his/her school. Class sizes are limited so early registration is recommended. 

Programs offered through ASAP include activities such as tutoring, drama, dance, martial arts, club time, and outdoor recreation.

ASAP is funded by a federal grant through the Office of National Drug Control Policy and is locally supported by The Georgetown Project, GISD, Georgetown Parks and Recreation, and the Williamson County Art Guild.
