THE SCHOOL LIAISON PROGRAM
Moving a family with school-age children overseas is no small feat. When there are so many moving pieces, it’s easy for the little details to slip through the cracks. Mr. Joshua Fly, School Liaison Program Manager, is here to make sure that no stone gets left unturned in the PCS process for families. Once a family receives their orders to Yokota Air Base, Mr. Fly is one of the first to reach out. In his own words, the goal of the program is to “be a conduit between the base, the families and the schools.” As Yokota’s first full-time liaison in several years, he is eager to provide continuity in education as kids transfer from school to school. In addition to ten years of teaching experience, Mr. Fly also has ten years of civil service under his belt, meaning he wholly understands the complex dynamic between DoDEA, Yokota Air Base and military families. Whether you’re curious about academic opportunities, entitlement benefits, school sports, EFMP or even transportation to and from school, Mr. Fly is here to field any questions or concerns a parent might have. “What gets me excited to get out of bed in the morning is just helping people. So whether that’s helping children or helping a family with whatever their situation is, that’s what I like to do. It’s not hard to motivate yourself to do that.” If you have questions regarding your child’s academic career here at Yokota, Mr. Joshua Fly is ready to help. Call 225-7917 or email 374FSS.FSY.SLP@us.af.mil for more information.
