SPLASH is a Urbana Middle School Program open to all students. There are four sessions each year. In SPLASH students are provided academic support, STEM classes and enrichment classes four days a week (M-Th) before school from 8-8:30 a.m. and after school until 5:30 p.m. 

SPLASH activities are led by UMS staff, Urbana Park District staff and community partners. University of Illinois tutors volunteer in the Homework Lab. Funds for SPLASH are provided by Urbana School District’s 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant and a grant from the City of Urbana. Programs include classes, clubs, activities, Homework Lab, and Morning Jump Start.

SPLASH is an extension of the school day; therefore, the same rules and expectations outlined in the UMS Student Handbook will be followed during SPLASH. Transportation is provided by MTD or First Student at 5:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday. On those days students requiring a MTD transfer will ride First Student.

SPLASH runs in 4-6 week sessions. Homework Labs, Morning Jump Start, and Early Out Activities stay the same. The clubs, classes, and activities will change. Your child will be given a booklet by a team teacher with the list of new classes and registration form before every session.
