Before & After School Care Approved
By a unanimous vote, at its regular monthly meeting Monday, the School Board approved a new before and after school care program for Mineral Point 4K through 5th grade students.
Vacancies have been posted for a Director (24 hours/week) and two Childcare Providers (20 hours/week). Contact Superintendent Mitch Wainwright at mitch.wainwright@mp.k12.wi.us or 608-987-0740 with interest.
Stay tuned for more information on the fee and payment structure, as well as enrollment info for the upcoming school year.
Pointer Kids Club is designed to provide a safe, interactive, and fun environment for MP students by offering a variety of open-ended, play-based STEAM (science, technology, engineering, and math) and physical activities before and after school, outside the traditional school day.
Any student 4K through 5th grade is eligible to enroll. Enrollment will be capped at 75 morning students and 75 evening students. Morning care will start at 7 am. After school care is from dismissal time until 6 pm.
The Mineral Point Community Foundation generously provided a $15,000 grant to help the startup of this program. Several other area districts have a similar program already in place.
