About Wingspan ArtsWingspan Arts is a non-profit organization that is fully insured and professionally managed. We hold our programs ON-SITE at PS 281, and work in partnership with PS 281 to offer semester-long afterschool arts enrichment classes that meet once a week. The program is staffed by Site Director(s), Site Assistant(s), and professional Teaching Artists.

A Day at Wingspan Arts• When students are dismissed from school, they are escorted to Wingspan’s central meeting area at PS 281.• Students are provided with a snack and an option of arts based activities from school dismissal until 3:30PM.• Arts enrichment classes run for 90 minutes from 3:30 - 5:00PM• Pick-up runs from 5:00 - 6:00PM; students again participate in a choice of arts based activities, other

supervised games, or homework.• Pick-up ends promptly at 6:00PM. A fee of $1/minute will be charged for any students remaining after

6:00PM; fee increases after third late pick-up.
