HASP Hours

Program Hours 

  • The Hardy After-School Program routinely begins at approximately 2:15 PM and ends at 6:00 PM. 
  • For early-release days, the program hours are from the release of school until 6:00 PM. 
  • For full days (selected vacation days), the hours are 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

School Vacations/Early-Release Days

HSAP is closed whenever the Arlington Public Schools are closed.  HASP offers extended care on early-release days, and selected vacation days, subject to parental demand and staff availability.  The calendar is released in mid-September.

Scheduling Changes 

  • To Drop Days:  To reduce the number of days, submit a written request to the Director, including the days you wish to drop, and the effective date.  We request 30 days advance notice. 
  • To Add/Change Days:  Days may be added/changed at any time, provided space is available.  The parent(s) should submit a written request to the Director, including the days you wish to add, or the days you wish to change, and the effective date.  We request 30 days advance notice. 
  • To Withdraw from the Program:  To withdraw your child from the program, notify the Director in writing 30 days in advance.  (Families who leave without 30 days written notice are responsible for two weeks’ tuition for the time period following the date of withdrawal.)

Pick Up Policy

When picking up your child, enter the school through the side door to the right of the main entrance.  Please park on the street or in the parking lot at the side of the school.  Children play in the playground, so please drive slowly and do not park next to the curb by the after-school door.  You must stop at the HASP office and get a pick-up pass to collect your child.

Late Pick Up

If an emergency arises, and you know you will be late in picking up your child, please call the program and inform us.  The late fee is $1 dollar for each minute after a five minute grace period (6:05 PM).  The late fee is due at pick up.  The fee is calculated using the school clock. The late fee applies to each family, so if you have two children, you pay one late fee.

If parents have not contacted us and 15 minutes have elapsed since program closing time, we will begin calling contacts on the child’s information form.

Snow Day Policy

HASP is closed whenever the Arlington Public Schools are closed.  If Arlington Public Schools are delayed, the After-School operates as normal.
