Dear Parents/Guardians,
We are very excited that you have expressed an interest in
learning more about Urban Youth Impact’s after-school program, The Leadership
Academy (TLA). TLA has been designed to run in conjunction with Palm Beach
County Schools. We attempt to match PBCS's calendar in terms of days
off, holidays and vacations. However, our start and end dates vary slightly from that of the PBCS. If you are interested in applying for the 2020-2021 school year, please read the
information below, prior to completing this application.
TLA
is accepting applications for students going into grades K-8th in the 2020-2021 school year. Based on UYI's organizational mission, students whose address is within the Tamarind Avenue Corridor (3rd Street-36th Street) will be considered first. Once all spots fill, other applicants will be placed on the wait list. The cost for the entire school year is $100 for the first child and $200 per family. Students who attended Summer Jam qualify for a $25 rollover credit.
Middle School students are required to participate in an interview process prior to being accepted into the Next Level program. In
order for any students to be considered for enrollment each of the following requirements must be met in order to be considered:
- the application must be completed in full.
- a payment must be submitted
- all necessary documents must be electronically signed by the
parent/guardian (DocuSign Electronic Documents).
- a submission of the student’s 2019-2020 FINAL report card must
be received. (Kindergarten
applicants are not required to submit a report card) prior to acceptance.
TLA will begin on
August 31, 2020. The hours of operation are
Monday – Friday, 2:15 p.m-5:45 p.m.,
excluding major holidays and/or school closings. UYI currently provides transportation from the following schools: Roosevelt
Elementary, U.B. Kinsey Elementary, Westward
Elementary, and Roosevelt Middle School. If your child
does not attend any of the above-listed schools, the parents/guardians will be
responsible for transporting their child to TLA each day on time. An
afternoon snack is provided each day for students during TLA. Each
week students engage in spiritual enrichment activities and SMART
classes.
UYI offers transportation services home for parents/guardians who are
interested and who live within our transportation zone. Please take note of the transportation zones for drop-off
services.
Transportation
Zone:
North: 36th Street
East: Broadway/Spruce/Rosemary
West: (From North to South) Australian/Mangonia Circle/7th Street
South: 3rd Street
Parents/Guardians will be required to complete a transportation
form for their child once details have been established. More details will be provided regarding the drop-off locations prior to the start of TLA.
There is a limited capacity of seating, transportation may be on a first come first serve basis.
This year families will partner with UYI in specific classes and personal training opportunities for parents throughout the school year. For each session that you complete, a portion of your payment will be refunded to you! A schedule will be sent out at the beginning of the school year with opportunities for you to participate!
Every child will be literacy tested if they are accepted into TLA. If your child falls two or more grade levels below their grade level they will be provided with additional literacy support. This means literacy coaching may take precedence over other TLA activities. If your child is two or more grade levels below and you wish to opt-out of the additional literacy support, you will need to contact the Literacy Intervention Coach.
**** Please note that your child's acceptance into TLA is contingent upon your attendance at our MANDATORY Parent Orientation prior to the start of TLA. ****
Please be advised that submitting this application does not guarantee your child a place in TLA in the fall. If you are interested in completing an application, please proceed to the next page. Should you have any other questions, comments, and/or concerns, contact our administrative office for assistance.
With kind regards,
