Dakota Meadows Middle School and Prairie Winds Middle School have an after school program available to youth in grades 6 - 8. The program features clubs that vary each quarter, giving students the opportunity to join activities that match their interests. 

Middle school is a time to explore interests and get involved! Joining clubs and out-of-school time activities is a natural extension of the school day. Each club is led by an activity coach or club advisor. Each club will also have goals and outcomes each quarter, such as (but not limited to): games, competitions, contests, showcase events, performances or service projects.
