PreK-5 Early Arrivals: We have had an increase in the number of families dropping off their students in the office before elementary arrival time, and some other students wait in the office after school for a while. This cannot happen. PreK-5 Students should not be in the building before 8:30 am; all students should be picked up by 3:30 pm. Please contact the Morris YMCA at (815) 513-8080 if you need before or aftercare. Thank you for your cooperation.
