- If the orange cones are out blocking the bottom of the driveway that means… Please do not drive up.
- Drop Off: Students will be dropped off at the turn around and then hike up. We always have someone at the midway mark up the hill to help out if needed.
- Pick Up: Students will walk down to the cones with their class and be excused from there.
- Please always pull into the turn around area and drive counterclockwise. Pulling all the way up (to the mailbox) is helpful and keeps us from waiting in line on the street. Thank you!
Please reach out if you have any questions. Thank you!
- Packing a full set of extra clothes for your student(s) as we enter the wet and muddy Spring season (including shoes) is recommended.
- Layers of clothing make the most sense right now.
- WATER BOTTLES filled to start the day. Its gonna get hot sooner than later! Please remember to label all gear and water bottles!
- Check in with your kiddos about lunch...Do they need more? etc.
We are offering a few fun arts and crafts after school Clubs on a few Thursdays. These clubs are free and this is how it will work:
Thursdays 3:30-4:30
FREE (ASP students will not be charged for that hour)
Open to everyone (not just ASP)
ASP students are priority and will have a chance to sign up first
We will then open it up to the community and make a Wait List for the remaining interested students. It will be first come first serve.
Family Committee will send out the permission, contact and food allergy paperwork to all participating families. Please return to the Burrow asap.
That Day
Club students will attend ASP for snack
From snack, Club students will join the volunteer for the activity and stay in their care and responsibility until 4:30
NOTE: We are keeping the ratio 10:1. An ASP staff member will join when possible.
Location: Brook Trout classroom (tentatively and will depend on club)
Students will be picked up at 4:30 at UE/MS building. Students remaining after 4:45 will join ASP until 5:00.
Here are the Thursdays we have…..so far.
3/13 - Needle felting with Jen Foley
3/20 - Sew a chicken with Julie Lewis (Cassie and Julia's grammy)
3/27 - Making Spring Rabbits with Janice Dennis (Jada and Julian’s Grandma)
