ACE Brochure.pdfParent Involvement
The Texas ACE program is built on the philosophy that students perform better when parents are involved in the child’s education. Various parental involvement activities and parenting workshops will be available throughout the year.
Parents must attend a minimum of TWO activities per semester for students to participate in the 21st Century Program. Lack of parental involvement may result in the removal of your child from the 21st Century Program.
Attendance
Per Texas Education Agency (TEA) & the 21st Century Handbook, students are required to attend face to face EVERY day. Attendance is taken and reported to help support and maintain the state grant which funds the 21st Century program. If students do not attend, they will lose their spot in the program after two weeks without notice.

The Communities In Schools Afterschool Centers on Education (ACE) is funded by the U.S. Department of Education through Texas Education Agency and the primary focus is to empower students to realize their potential and change the world. In the afterschool setting we provide multiple resources such as homework assistance, lessons which reinforce school day learning, and small group tutoring to promote student academic achievement. In addition ACE provides college and workforce awareness, enrichment activities, and family and parental support services to increase family engagement in the students’ educational experience.
When the last bell rings, Texas ACE is just getting started with interactive, hands-on learning disguised as fun and aligned to the school curriculum. Local programs also provide homework help, tutoring, and other targeted needs-based assistance, as well as enrichment activities such as sports, clubs, and youth development projects that build character, confidence, and leadership skills.
While YMCA offers a traditional after school program model, YMCA is committed to providing flexible programming that meets the needs of school and families. YMCA works with each campus to design programming that will fit the needs of families.
