Student need a lunch from home each day.  If our field trip occurs before 10:30 in the morning send a scak lunch as we will be eating lunch while we are out and about. 

Please remember to get that first layer of sunscreen (SPF 45 or Higher) on before children leave home.  If you forget we have sunscreen located just inside the door as you arrive.  By getting sunscreen on early it allows time for it to be obsorbed before we go out for morning recess.  We will re-coat kids throughout the day.

About the Program

The purpose of the Before, After School and Summer Enrichment (BASE) Programs is to provide safe, quality, affordable child care in the school setting: whereby each individual child is enriched with various experiences conducive to their academic, social, and physical development. These self supporting programs are offered to any child enrolled in an Adams 12 Five Star Elementary School. Here at Hulstrom we offer BASE to students in grades K-8th  (5 years old to 15 years old).  Our BASE program has also been designed with the unique style of Hulstrom in mind.

Afternoon BASE Groups

In afternoon BASE we average between 90-110 students.  To help keep the program as individualized and personable as possible we operate in 5 groups.   Each of these groups have staff members that work with them for 3-4 months at a time and plan activities based off of the groups age and interests.
