After-school program

The Ernie Davis Middle School KidZone Program is a free after school/extended day program operated by school district staff under the direction of the Elmira YWCA, funded by a grant from the NYS Department of Education.

KidZone provides middle school students with academic, enrichment, recreational and social programs daily after school until 5:15 p.m. Programs are available every day after school, November through May, except on half-days.

In order for students to benefit from the activities, attendance is expected on a regular basis. 

Before kids can join KidZone, parents must fill out an application and a photo release form and return them with your child to the main office. It's very important that KidZone staff have parents' current contact information, so if a phone number changes, be sure to let the staff know.

A late bus is available at 4:20 p.m. for bus students.

Programs located off school grounds may require an additional parental consent form. Transportation is provided to off-site programs but pick up to those sites is the responsibility of the parent/guardian.

• Parents/Guardians who pick up their child after the program ends are asked to please be on time.
• All school rules in the ECSD Code of Conduct apply to all KidZone programs. It is important for students to be on their best behavior at all times in order to continue their participation.
• Students must be with the teacher or agency leader at all times.
• All programs located off site may require a separate registration form.
• Please check back periodically for updates, pictures, and stories of the activities that the KidZone participants have been doing.
