What kind of programming do you offer?
There are many kinds of enriching programs offered at UASP by both our after school staff and local businesses/organizations. UASP teachers specialize in different areas including art, science, drama, sports, and other areas and come together to create a curriculum. plan individual team activities for many of the days each mont. Team activities range from sports games to crafts and science experiments. Special large group programs may include parties, theme days, or visits from performers or local museums. On most Tuesdays throughout the school year, we run Choose Your Own Adventure Clubs which are taught by UASP staff and cover a variety of topics. We also offer clubs run by outside vendors such as chess and jewelry making.

What does a day at UASP look like?
On a regular day, our schedule looks like this:
12:30- Kindergarten students join us for lunch (All students on Tuesdays)
1:00- Kindergarten recreation time (All students on Tuesdays)
2:00/2:15- Kindergarten read-aloud and structured activity time (Homework & reading for all students on Tuesdays)
3:00- Grades 1-6 join Kindergarten for snack
3:30- Recreation (Indoor or outdoor)
4:30- Homework and reading (Team activity/club time until the end of the day on Tuesdays)
5:00/5:15- Team activity time
5:45- Cubby time
This schedule might change on a given day for a number of reasons, including field trips, parties, visiting performances, no homework, or other special programming. Some students might have a slightly different schedule on a day where they are enrolled in a club (Jewelry, chess, science, etc...)
Students will be in groups with 10-13 members of their grade, and possibly students one year older or younger. All groups are together during snack, recess, lunch, and special events, but students will be in their small groups with one teacher during homework and special activity time.
What is the Parent Portal?
The Parent Portal is a tool that allows you to manage your UASP account online. We recommend logging in frequently to stay up-to-date with everything at after school. Use the portal to view your fees and payments, enroll into additional classes and events, send online payments, and see news and updates.

As a rule, when Underwood Elementary School is open and in session, UASP will be open. On holidays where there is no school, UASP will be closed. On snow days, UASP will be closed. On early release days, either scheduled or due to weather, UASP will be open.
We run a 4 day long vacation camp during February and April vacations, but not in December. Information about those camps will be sent out several weeks in advance.
