The YMCA, in partnership with Conroe ISD, is set to expand its After School Care program to additional campuses through a phased rollout; however, it needs parental input to move forward.
The Woodlands Family YMCA is set to expand its After School Care program to additional Conroe ISD campuses this fall, providing students with a blend of active play, academic support, and lessons on empathy and inclusion. The initiative is set to unfold in stages, with parents playing a vital role in deciding which locations will be the first to launch.
Following Labor Day, Phase I is set to commence at several elementary schools, including Janet Bartlett, Mittie J. Campbell, Robert W. Eissler, Patterson, and Wilkinson.
Phase II, which hinges on obtaining licensing approval and verifying enrollment, may encompass Anderson, Armstrong, Austin, Sam Houston, Reaves, and Runyan elementary schools.
The upcoming Phase III is to explore the possibility of extending services to Bozman, Grangerland, and Travis intermediate schools, contingent upon community interest and necessary approvals.
The initiative is currently in effect at BB Rice, Giesinger, Gordon Reed, San Jacinto, and Stewart elementary schools and will remain in place at these sites.
Each site requires a minimum enrollment of 15 to 20 students to maintain its viability.
In a proactive move, parents are encouraged to complete an online interest survey by September 1, a crucial step in determining campus eligibility.
School Care operates from Monday to Friday, starting right after school dismissal and continuing until 6:30 p.m. This program creates a structured environment where children can engage in both indoor and outdoor activities that not only support their academic growth but also foster essential social skills.
Parents are invited to participate in the survey available here. For further information, please visit ymcahouston.org or contact Teresa Arana at teresaa@ymcahouston.org.
