After School Program
Union County Schools offer an After School Program for the purpose of
providing supervision to school age students from 3:30 until 5:45 p.m.
each
school day. Our program is open to all children enrolled in Kindergarten
through Fifth grade.
We strive to establish a safe and caring environment with a structured
time
for homework to be completed. Children engage in activities that encourage
creativity, social growth, appropriate behavior, and a positive self-image.
Activities include study time, educational games, art, recreation and
a snack.
The After School Program is self-supporting and there is a fee of $5.00
per
day. Applications may be picked up in the office at the Primary and
Elementary Schools. We look forward to working with you and your child.
