Muller Road Middle School - After School Program

Director: Tarolyn Lee

Name: The Corral Vision:

The Corral s vision is to provide high-quality after-school activities that provide opportunities for students to feel safe, improve academic development and performance, improve social emotional and physical well-being, and improves school and community connectedness.

Mission: Our mission is to implement after-school activities so that students have greater
opportunities for successes in developing the attitudes, skills, knowledge, and abilities to live healthy lives, become productive adults, and to thrive in the workplaces and communities of the 21st century.

Purpose:

Muller Road Middle School after-school program s purpose is to provide students

with quality after school supervision in a safe environment by enriching their lives through structured socialization, exploration and hands-on learning activities while enhancing their quality of life in partnership with their families, school, and community. The intent is to provide a safe, relaxed, and stimulating environment for students who are able to meaningfully participate in a variety of planned activities between the end of school each day up to 6:00 p.m.

Philosophy
Muller Road Middle School after-school program s philosophy contends that activities of students during out-of-school-time can be as important to their growth and development as the time they spend in the classroom. During these non-school hours, students who are able to meaningfully participate have opportunities to choose from a variety of enriching activities, allowing them to explore new fields of interest while engaging in hands-on activities and structured socialization. These activities are designed to support and expand the physical, social, emotional and cognitive skills experienced in school.
