About Vernon Elementary School

In partnership with Portland Public Schools, the YMCA is happy to provide Youth Development programming at Vernon Elementary School.

We currently offer a variety of fun activities that help children develop their academic and social skills in an enriching atmosphere. Educational and recreational opportunities are offered in an environment that allows children to develop at their own pace, working independently and in a group setting. A strong emphasis is placed in our daily programming on the YMCA five core values of love, respect, honesty, responsibility, and service.

Registration for the 2025-2026 School Year will open on Tuesday, May 20 at 7:00am. Families currently attending Before & After School programs will be able to register the week prior to open registration.
