NEW BERLIN – After hearing feedback from students and parents interested in having an after-school program, Unadilla Valley School District has considered partnering with a not-for-profit organization to make it possible.

The Healthy Kids Extended Day Program is a not-for-profit organization that has partnered with rural and high-need schools throughout New York State.

According to Unadilla Valley Superintendent Robert Mackey, the program reached out to the Unadilla Valley School District, and said for $3.33 an hour, on weekdays from 3:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m., parents could pay to enroll their children in the program.

To help the school decide if the after-school program is worth pursuing, Unadilla Valley released an official statement and a survey on their website asking for feedback from students and parents.

“We are considering bringing Healthy Kids Extended Day Program to Unadilla Valley CSD to provide such care for children in grades pre-k through grade six,” stated the school, “Please complete this survey to help us gauge interest and assist in the planning process.”
