MIDDLE SCHOOL AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM

 

Hello everyone!!!

 Welcome back to SONYC! For those of you who do not know me, my name is Kristin and I'm the Program Director of the SONYC@ICE after school program alongside our Assistant Director Matthew Collazo. I hope you all were able to enjoy your summer and carve out some much-needed vacation time. With the school year right around the corner it's time to start talking about our SONYC program and what we'll have to offer this year. Here’s some basic information to keep on hand before SONYC parent orientation:

  • First day of SONYC is Monday, September 18th!

    • Program runs MWF: 2pm-5pm // T+R: 3-6pm .

    • Dismissal is from the 15th street side ONLY.

    • Security leaves promptly at our dismissal time. If you are late for pick up, your child and I will be waiting for you on the front steps.

  • Save the SONYC cellphone number in your contacts: 929-246-0498 .This is the number you will call/text whenever you have questions, want to contact your child, need advice, etc. SONYC is managed by me and the assistant director, Matt Collazo.

  • Our activity schedule changes with the seasons… the sporting seasons that is. We are in the process of adding more activities so hang tight! We update the schedule as soon as we know there is going to be a change in activities. We do not update the schedule on a daily basis. This is the ONLY link to the schedule and it will never change:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15sIdEHxdTD2VXfD1wwgFL8Sly7ji-qEXpyk0rwPUPAw/edit?usp=sharing

SONYC applications can be completed two ways:

    • ENROLLMENT APPLICATION FOR SCHOOL YEAR 2023-2024

    • Online via DiscoverDYCD. *I highly recommend applying online that way your information is saved for the following year. You can update the info easily if anything changes (i.e. new address, emergency contacts, etc.) The only thing you’ll have to fill out by ‘hand’ is the consent forms that will be emailed to you once we receive your child’s digital application in our system.

DYCD Online Application How To Guide

  • SONYC Parent handbook will be emailed out once it is finalized. It will have a ton of information about our program and will answer a majority of your questions!
