Snow Day Partner Programming

When severe weather strikes and our schools are closed, our partners at the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Fox Valley and YMCA can help! Both programs offer care options for families on these days. From structured activities to nutritious meals, they provide a safe and nurturing environment for students when schools are closed due to severe weather or other unexpected situations. 

Explore the Boys & Girls Club of the Fox Valley and YMCA’s range of services designed to support families and students during school closures:

Boys & Girls Clubs of the Fox Valley
 The Boys and Girls Club of Appleton, located in downtown Appleton at 160 South Badger Avenue, offers all-day programming on non-school days, and potentially also on severe weather days, from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm. Families should watch the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Fox Valley social media pages for the most updated related information on hours and operations.

  • They encourage families to register for a $15 school-year membership via the caregiver portal, this allows their student to attend at any time. The membership has no attendance requirement. This option provides the easiest access to BGC facilities on non-school days.
  • Meals (breakfast, snack, lunch) are provided at no cost to Club families.
  • In case of an AASD two-hour weather delay, there is no school-based AM school-based Club program, but the PM school-based Club program operates as usual.
  • In the case of an AASD after-school activity cancellation due to weather, the PM Club program may operate normally, but early pickup is encouraged for student and staff safety.
  • If school is canceled, BGC school site-based programs are also canceled. Club branches will be open from 8:00 am - 5:30 pm unless notified otherwise by the BGC.

YMCA
The YMCA offers a Snow Day Program at the Appleton YMCA, located at 218 E Lawrence Street,  from 7:30 am to 6 pm with 25 spots available. 

  • To participate, students must be enrolled in YMCA before or after school programs at Neighborhood or Extended Day Learning Program sites. Families must reserve a spot by calling (920) 954-7621 between 5:00 am and 10:00 pm when the AASD cancels school. The per-day price for the Snow Day Program is $42 for Y Members and $56 for non-members. Pre-registration is required; online or drop-in registrations are not accepted. 
    Families provide a cold lunch and a morning and afternoon snack is provided.
  • In case of an AASD two-hour weather delay, there is no School Age AM Program, but the PM Program operates as usual.
  • In the case of an AASD after-school activity cancellation due to weather, the YMCA School Age PM Program operates normally, but early pickup is encouraged for student and staff safety.
