Providing safe places for students to learn.
We know the last few months have brought many challenges and new ways of doing things and the upcoming school year will have all of us out of our routines.
That is why we are so thrilled to let you know the Y is here for you!
We have created the Y Student Support Center (YSSC) for students in grade Kindergarten -6th grade. These centers will be open from 7 am-6 pm Monday through Friday. The purpose of these centers is to provide a safe setting in which students can learn among their peers during the times their schools are in virtual learning.
The centers will be run by your trusted Y teams in various locations, providing organized and supervised time dedicated to school work, along with time for play and physical activity. Social distancing does not have to mean social isolation. Feeling connected can improve a child’s resiliency. Going to the Y Student Support Center will provide a routine to increase their feeling of safety and security. And finally, having physical activity and fun will help keep their minds fresh and balanced.
Our Center program structure will be as follows:
- Days will be from 7 am – 6 pm serving grades K – 6
- Enrichment Activities
- Time dedicated for remote learning – We will accommodate specific virtual schedules
- Students will enjoy “Brain Breaks” throughout the day to promote physical activity and a chance to recharge and focus
- Students will have the opportunity to participate in Specialty Clubs
