We regret that we cannot continue the YMCA program, due to a lack of suitable space on either campus. Unfortunately, we could not find space for NYOS students at other YMCA locations nearby. We continue to look for options with the YMCA. We will let you know if any alternatives develop.
NYOS will have 3 after school options for parents next year. We are excited to announce that NYOS was a 21st Century grant winner this year. The 21st Century grant funds the ACE (formerly Accel) after school program at NYOS for grades K-3. The program will begin in August, 2011. For more details on the ACE after school program, contact Program Director Alyssa Moore. amoore@nyos.org
