August is National Back to School Month. To prepare, the YMCA of the Fox Cities is sharing three ways to ensure your back-to-school season is a success!
Enroll in the Y's Before and Afterschool Care Today
When school is out, the Y is in! In honor of National Back to School Month, the Y wants to remind you of all our great before-and after-school programming, to ensure your child is taken care of before or after their school day! Visit With a focus on safety, health, social growth and academic enrichment, our before-and after-school programs serve children with options to explore and develop their interests and talents. The Y provides a quality, safe place for children so parents have the freedom to work or study, knowing that their children's needs are being addressed.
Communicate Routines and Expectations
The Y wants your family to be prepared for back-to-school season! Here is your friendly reminder to make sure you have everything on your child’s classroom supply list, reset those summer bedtimes well before the big day and communicate any changes in routine with the entire family. Here’s to a happy, healthy and safe back-to-school season!
Help Our Schools & Students Stock Up!
From crayons to notebooks, many classrooms, and the students who fill them, are in need of school supplies this time of year! In celebration of National Back to School Month, the Y invites you to support Backpacks for Kids, and initiative supported by the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region which provides local students with a backpack filled with school supplies.
Getting and being prepared early is the best way to set your children and your family up for success!
