There are only 30 spaces available for this program on a daily basis, filled in the order reservations are received. To register your child(ren), please open and print the Registration Form and send it to MMCI along with a $50 deposit to MMCI B&A Care, 217 Dill Avenue, Frederick, MD 21701. (This form has information about the program including fees, billing procedures and more.) Also attached is a Health Information Release to sign and send in with the registration. After the first day of school, Amy Kravetzker will have additional forms for parents of children who will attend on a regular basis.

Reminder to all parents: The Registration form and Health Information Release are needed for every child whether or not regular B&A Care is needed.

There will be no B&A Care when there are weather-related FCPS delayed openings or early dismissals, nor will B&A Care be open on scheduled holidays or partial days unless otherwise announced in the Thursday school newsletter or the e-mail list serve. For your reference and planning purposes, click here for the 2010-2011 calendar of FCPS holidays/closures.

If you are new to the school, Before & After care is held in the multipurpose room. Children should be dropped off and picked up on the Dill Avenue side of the building at the double white doors under the sanctuary. Questions? Contact Susan Eubinag at mmci2001@yahoo.com or 301.631.3888.

Orton Gillingham program

MVMS offers the Orton Gillingham method of instruction for students that need additional instruction in reading/language arts. Orton Gillingham is a multisensory, structured approach to language. Teaching is done using all pathways in the brain (visual/auditory, kinesthetic-tactile) simultaneously in order to enhance memory and learning. Students are tutored on an individual basis, thirty minutes per day, three to five days per week.
