The YMCA is excited to partner with CASY on the 2019-2020 SACC program. Vigo County YMCA and CASY offers before and after school care in all of Vigo County School Corporation's 18 elementary schools.

Before school care begins at 6:30am. After school care begins with the release of students at the end of the school day and ends at 6:00pm.

Select schools will be a part of the new hub sites. These sites were chosen due to their proximity to the surrounding schools. The three hub sites include:

• Sugar Creek Elementary, which will also host West Vigo Elementary

• CASY will host Farrington Grove Elementary, Sugar Grove Elementary and Fuqua Elementary

Transportation to the hub sites will be provided by the school buses. Parents will need to drop off and pick up students at the hub sites if their child is in one of the schools listed above.
