IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Please update the School Dismissal Manager and also inform your child's teacher of their MAP schedule
You must notify MAP if your child will not be attending on his or her regularly scheduled day - THE SCHOOL WILL NOT LET US KNOW. Notifying MAP before dismissal time will save us from spending time looking for your child and making phone calls during a VERY BUSY time of day! Please email or call anytime, our voicemail is always on.
At DROP-OFF & PICK-UP: Please sign your child in or out and note the time every day. Remember to notify us when someone different will be picking up your child. Everyone picking up will need to show ID until we all get to know you.
Deadlines: It is important to pay attention to the deadlines for signing up for special MAP days. These days are open to all currently enrolled MAP children. Signing up after the deadline may result in being placed on a wait list for the day as well as an additional fee.
Please send any billing questions to MAPOfficeBilling@gmail.com

What to Bring

Jump Starters and Half Day Ks who eat lunch at MAP should bring food that is ready to eat (MAP teachers will not be able to handle food to heat up, cut, or prepare)
SEVERAL SNACKS! Your child will be hungrier than you could ever imagine. It may be helpful to pack a couple of things separately and label them "MAP" so they don't get eaten at school. MAP will also provide snacks during the afternoon.
Extra clothes - it is always a good idea for children to keep a small bag of extra clothes in their backpack
Sunscreen and/or bug spray if you would like your child to apply it (it is important for families to teach their child to self-apply sunscreen; MAP teachers will help with bug spray)
Weather appropriate clothes and shoes - we will go outside every day if possible! And we have a mud kitchen, we play in the woods, we roll, climb, and play in water - we may get messy!
Did we mention SNACKS? Lots of SNACKS! And WATER!
