After School Academics is open to 6th - 12th grade students in Deer River High, after school until 5:45, in the Media Center, Monday, Tuesday & Thursday and Room 216 on Wednesday. Athletes, pre-arrange with your coach to attend without penalization for missing practice. Transportation is available to some areas, call Danielle Snow with questions, 246-8241 ext 265 or click on the Transportation link in the Menu.

We offer a quiet setting for students who need a place to complete their homework and get some extra help. We also have access to technology to support our twenty-first century learners. Students can receive help with homework, study skills, time management and organizational skills among other academic skills. Students should come prepared to work and learn, most classroom rules apply, however snacks and music (with headphones) are permitted as long as students are working.

After School Academics has a partnership with TRIO and Itasca Community College. TRIO has staff and the Engineering Dept. has student tutors who come each week and offer a hand to our students in a number of ways. They help with homework, ACT test prep, filling out scholarship, job, FAFSA and college applications.

Those students riding the activity bus are required to stay the entire time and those not riding the activity bus need to communicate with Danielle when they plan on leaving and with whom, at the time they sign in each day.

Thanks to the Indian Education Department at Deer River High School for sponsoring this program!
