ONLINE SCHOOL PAYMENT

In a growing number of families, both parents or the single parent work or have commitments outside of the home.  When this is the case, school-age children often need quality care and supervision.  Family well-being is assisted when parents know their children are receiving quality care.  The Mooresville Graded School District Before and After School Program (BASP) is designed to provide family support with a school-age child care program at conveniently located, well-staffed sites throughout the district. The program provides supervision and structured activities before and after school and during student vacation days. Program sites are located at all K - 6 elementary and intermediate school buildings allowing access to school playgrounds, equipment, gymnasiums, and audio-visual materials while the students remain in a familiar, child-friendly environment.  The following program tenets are what make our BASP successful:

  • A written schedule of activities for each group of children indicating routines and blocks of time is posted and followed.
  • Schedules encourage a balance between student-directed and structured adult-led activities with periods of active play alternating with quieter activities.
  • Schedules encourage a balance between student-directed and structured adult lead activities with periods of active play alternating with quieter activities.
  • Each day, children are provided at least 4 different activity options including table and active games, dramatic play, art, crafts, science, music, and other interest choices.  Activities are designed to promote independence, self-reliance and enhance social skills while helping children learn to listen, follow directions, and solve problems.
  • Snacks are served each day and time is provided for homework.

 

BASP Fall Registration Link will be located below the BASP Calendar banner beginning at 10:00 AM on Saturday April 12, 2025.
