About the CONNECT After School program

The CONNECT After School Program helps youth reach their full potential in school and life. CONNECT is a unique setting where students can connect with positive adult mentors, feel safe to try new things, and have the chance to acquire new skills.

CONNECT aims to support students during their out of school time and all services are FREE to students grades 2-8 enrolled in the Highland Falls Intermediate School. All CONNECT activities are geared toward assuring a healthy environment, positive staff-to-student interactions, and high-quality programs.  

CONNECT begins when the regular school day ends. Extracurricular programs run from 3-5 p.m. with late group from 5-6 p.m.

To learn more about the CONNECT Program and ways you can participate, please contact Christine McDonald. CONNECT Program Director at Christine.McDonald@wpaog.org or 845-446-1666
