Y Club Enrollment for 2023-24

The Before and After School Program available to families in the Platte County R-3 School District is Y Club. With Y Club before and after school, children in kindergarten through 5th grade will benefit from homework enrichment, physical activity, and small and large group activities with a focus on building community and youth voice and leadership. Full-time and part-time Y Club is available at each of our elementary buildings (Barry, Compass, Pathfinder, and Siegrist), along with Y Club on days when school is out of session for inclement weather, seasonal breaks, and other days off (enrollment permitting). Operating hours are each weekday from 6:30 a.m. until school begins, and again after school until 6:00 p.m. Registration is now open. Click here to register.

If you have any questions about the Y Club program, please contact YMCA at (816) 360-3390.

Previous Information

Meal Balances

As the end of the school year is fast approaching, we are beginning to close down our books for the current school year. We wanted to let you know of our procedure with regard to student meal accounts.

Negative Balance Notifications at Year-End

Schools are in the process of notifying parents about negative student meal account balances. If your child currently has a negative balance, please clear the funds due by sending cash or a check to the school office or by adding funds to your student's account online through K12PaymentCenter. All of our attendance centers have protocols in place to make the students and parents aware of negative meal balances. If it is found that a student has a negative meal balance at the end of a school year, staff at the buildings will be contacting parents regarding the negative account balance. If the negative meal balance is not resolved after multiple attempts, the district may turn over the unpaid meal charges to a collection agency, per board policy.

Meal Account Balances at Year-End

Meal account balances stay with each student as they move between PCSD schools, grades or classrooms. Year-end balances roll forward into the next school year. Any funds on account at the end of this school year will be available to students when the 2023-2024 school year begins in August. Under no circumstances, will a student be denied a lunch as a result of insufficient funds. However, the District appreciates your cooperation in ensuring that your student maintains a positive account balance at all times. Contact the school building front office for any questions related to student meal account balances.
