Rising Hawk Afterschool Program


At Rising Hawk your child will have the opportunity to receive time and help for remote learning, participate in enriching activities, and learn through playing with other children and staff. We pride ourselves in being a part of the Oyster River School community and treasure the use of our outside space as an extension to the growth and learning that happens in side in the cafeteria and the gym. Live and Learn's Rising Hawk curriculum focuses on the whole child and encourages students to develop core competencies including social skills, reading, writing, science, technology, engineering, arts, math, and physical fitness

According to the National Institute on Out-of-School Time, participation in an intentional, structured out of school time program can benefit children socially, emotionally and academically. We feel fortunate to have an out of school time program that has been a staple of the Oyster River community for decades. Rising Hawk fosters an open and accepting environment where differences are celebrated and friendships are nurtured. Children are encouraged to be independent, autonomous learners during out of school time hours, with choices that range from process-oriented art to active games.


During this school year Rising Hawk provides afterschool care from 3:15-5:30pm starting on April 22nd 2021. On school vacation weeks (except Holiday recess), teacher workshop days and during the summer months, Rising Hawk provides full day programming from 7:30-5:30 for additional cost. Rising Hawk does operate during school weather related closures for additional cost; except when the main site programming also has to close.

We look forward to working with students and families throughout the Oyster River Cooperative School District.
