After-School at St. Mark's (ASM)

Preschool ASM

Preschool After-School at St. Mark's (ASM) offers the convenience of flexible scheduling and same-day, drop-in availability to meet the needs of our families.

Begins at 12 p.m. for preschool 2-4. PS3 and PS4 students begins ASM with lunch. PS2 students will be finishing lunch and transitioning to rest time.
Lunch: PS3 and PS4 students have the option of ordering a catered lunch through St. Mark's lunch program. Milk may also be purchased through the school. During lunch, we encourage students' self-help skills in managing their lunch as well as appropriate table manners. Teachers sit with students and facilitate pleasant conversation.
Outdoor/Indoor Play: After lunch, students play outside or at inside centers, depending on the weather.
Rest: Students follow a rest time routine that includes collecting their resting mats, toileting, and reciting the daily prayer. Teachers read stories by the selected author of the month, or other seasonal titles.
Outdoor/Indoor Play: After the rest period, students spend time outside or enjoy indoor centers in the case of inclement weather.
Snack: After 3 p.m. carpool is complete, kindergarten ASM students join the remaining preschool 2-4 ASM students for a nutritious snack.
Team Meeting: A teacher then conducts an “ASM team meeting” with the children to read a story and introduce the activities for the afternoon.
Afternoon Activities: In addition to free play, students at “Late ASM” engage in a variety of literacy and math centers, art, games, cooking, science, music, and exercise.
