What is Cardinal Muscle?

Cardinal Muscle is our after school program for students in grades K-6. This program is free to all students attending Central Decatur and is funded by a variety of local sources, including post Covid learning loss funding. Kerry Welch serves as the program coordinator, and can be reached during the school day at 446-6521. Each night, CD teachers and paraprofessionals, community members, and high school students work to support students in the program. Students complete a variety of activities, including homework, physical fitness, and enrichment. Students utilize the school facilities and resources, including the gym, library, and computer lab (iPads & laptops).

Students need to be picked up each night by 5:00 at South Elementary.

Cardinal Muscle before school is provided from 7:15-8:00 am Monday-Friday at each school. Cardinal Muscle after school program operates Monday-Thursday, from 3:05-5:00 pm at South Elementary for grades Kindergarten through 6th grade. North Elementary students will be transported via bus to South Elementary directly after dismissal.

Longer programming (from 12:45-5:00) is provided on early out days.

Each month, the online sign-up sheet will be emailed to all parent/guardian emails on file in PowerSchool, posted to the school’s Facebook page, and included in the documents on PowerSchool and on the PowerSchool App. Families need to complete the sign-up form and indicate the days students will be staying for Cardinal Muscle. Students are welcome to attend as many days of the week or month that they wish.
