The Cub House is a Missouri Comprehensive Afterschool Learning program that provides students with academic enrichment opportunities and activities designed to complement their regular school day's academic program during non-school hours. The Cub House at the Monett R-I School District will provide a range of high-quality services to support student learning and development, such as mentoring, homework help, academic enrichment, community service opportunities, as well as music, arts, sports, and cultural activities.

The 21st Century Community Learning grant (21CCLC) was formerly a federally funded program that allowed schools to create and/or enhance after-school programs. With the passing of the "No Child Left Behind Act of 2001," ESEA Act, the 21st Century Community Learning Center program transitioned to state control and administration via a competitive grant process.

Due to a highly competitive grant cycle, the Monett R-1 Cub House will now be funded through the Missouri Comprehensive Afterschool Learning (MOCAL) grant instead of the 21st Century Community Learning grant. The MOCAL grant is a year-to-year grant continuation. The MOCAL grant will supplement services offered to students and families in our district, including services for privately and home-schooled students, adult continuing education courses, and parent education.

Please note that the MOCAL Cub House grant is only for grades PK-5. The previous 21CCLC grant included grades 6-8, but the MOCAL grant does not.

If your student is not currently enrolled in the Monett R-I School District, an additional enrollment form will be required.

The MOCAL Cub House is offered free of charge to all PreK-5th grade students living within the Monett R-I School District.
