YMCA September Newsletter

Mesa Verde Middle School and our partner the YMCA offer free before and after-school academic, enrichment, and sports throughout the school year. Both programs are made possible by the After-School Education and Safety grant. Attendance guidelines require that students attend the program for the full duration or a minimum of 3 days per week.

Please note that programs are closed on non-student days.

The ASES (After School Safety & Education) Program is free and provides a fun, safe, stimulating environment for students whose parents cannot be home when their children return from school.  Studies show that participation in the ASES Program increases students’ attachment to their schools, improves test scores, and keeps kids out of trouble.

The program is located in the Student Center. 

Students who stay on campus after 3:20  must be involved in one of the scheduled activities or with a teacher or staff member.  Students may not leave campus and then return unless accompanied by a parent/guardian. 

The California ASES grant that funds this free program requires families to document any late arrival (after 7:30AM) in the morning, or early release (before 6:15 PM) in the afternoon.  The PUSD policy requires that parents or students document the appropriate reason for late arrival/early release on the daily attendance sheets.  The reasons will be posted near the attendance sheets for easy reference.
