Parent Participation Program (PPP). We encourage parents to become an active partner in
their child’s CYS program. Your involvement as a parent is rewarding for your child and
increases the quality of the programs we offer. It is our intent, through the PPP, to help you
improve your understanding of your child’s program and enhance your skills as a parent. This
program allows parents to earn points that can be used to receive discounts on childcare and
youth sports. For more information, contact the CER or your child’s program director.
Pamphlets outlining the PPP are available at the CER or your child’s program.
SKIESUnlimited. SKIES is an acronym for Schools of
Knowledge, Inspiration, Exploration, and Skills. SKIESUnlimited
hopes to accomplish the CYS mission by enhancing programming
choices through a variety of quality enrichment and learning
opportunities for children and youth in a flexible and creative
environment dedicated to excellence.
Our vision is to enhance and expand programming through a
variety of instructional offerings: with a highly qualified faculty,
who nurture and maximize the talents and potential of our children and youth, through affordable
and accessible learning opportunities, as they promote quality classes and programs in dedicated
facilities, resulting in a reputation for excellence and innovation.
In order to enroll in SKIESUnlimited classes, parents/guardians must complete the CER
process. This includes providing sponsor and spouse names, social security numbers, local
address, telephone numbers, email address, emergency contact information, completion of forms
and paying the annual registration fee.
If your child has been diagnosed with any special need, you will be scheduled for the next
meeting of the SNRT. This includes dietary restrictions, allergies, asthma, ADHD, ongoing
prescription for medication, or any other conditions requiring your child to be on an IEP. In
some cases, you child will not be permitted to enroll in a SKIESUnlimited class until the SNRT
meeting has been attended and placement approved. Any accommodation necessary for your
child’s successful experience in his/her SKIESUnlimited class will be communicated to the
instructor.
Once you are registered and in CYMS, you may enroll for any available SKIESUnlimited
class at the CDC, SAS, CER, or YS. In some cases, you may even be able to enroll by simply
calling the facility. You must be officially enrolled in order to attend SKIESUnlimited classes.
Tuition for SKIESUnlimited classes may be paid up front with cash, personal check, or credit
card. Fees may also be paid monthly for semester and year-long classes. Payment for each
month is due by the third working day of the month. Fees for partial months cannot be prorated.
