SUPPORTING SCHOOLS, CHILDREN, FAMILIES AND OUR COMMUNITY

The Y Academy provides a safe, secure, and healthy environment for students K-12 years old when school is closed. Through encouraging your child in remote learning, providing unique enrichment opportunities, and developing healthy living habits, Y Academy is a place for children to experience achievement, relationship, and belonging. Our goal in Y Academy is to support students through remote learning by providing a space and support. We do not guarantee or provide expertise in subject areas.

  • All counselors will be required to wear a face covering when working with children.
  • Children have temperatures taken and answer health questions.
  • We have significantly increased our cleaning procedures to ensure all high touch surfaces and supplies are cleaned after use.
  • We require all students and staff to stay home if they are not feeling well.
  • Children stay in their groups, with the same counselors as much as possible.
  • Children will be required to wear masks, but will have frequent mask breaks throughout the day.
