Time to start thinking about Milton Summer Enrichment (MSE) 2018!

Believe it or not, it is time to start thinking about Milton Summer Enrichment (MSE) 2018! We are looking forward to a fun-filled summer with the children. This letter will serve as the first of many communications in the upcoming months about MSE, and contains important information about our program.

Administration for MSE: Those of you who had children participate in the MSE program last year will see the return of the same MSE Directors. Bernadette Butler (Cunningham Assistant Principal/ELA and Math Curriculum Coordinator) and Cat DesRoche (Tucker Assistant Principal/ELA and Math Curriculum Coordinator) will once again be working together to ensure 2018 is the best summer yet! We can be contacted via email at [email protected] . We are fortunate to have Billy Donovan ([email protected] ) on our team as well, who will be continuing his role of coordinating middle and high school courses.

MSE Courses: Recruitment for teachers interested in implementing engaging and fun courses is underway!  We look forward to offering wide range of courses that are appropriate for various grade levels and interests.  In early April, families will be sent the “At a Glance” document, which contains a listing of courses available for  each grade level during each hour. Families have found this helpful when planning potential course selections  for children. Before official registration begins, you will receive the official MSE Brochure, which contains course descriptions and very important information pertaining to the program. In mid April, online registration for MSE 2018 will begin. Please see below for important tentative dates (keep in mind these dates are subject to change slightly, but you will be updated if dates change).

Registration: Online registration will begin mid April and remain open for one month. Please note that all courses are filled on a first come, first serve basis. As courses fill, they will be removed from the drop down menus and will no longer be available to you, regardless of if you register online or in person. We have strict caps on our classes to ensure that each course is manageable and safe for our teachers and our children, and appreciate the community’s support to ensure the program is the best it can possibly be for all involved. This year, during the month of June, we will have mandatory “Schedule Pick-Up” times during which parents/guardians must come to collect their child’s MSE schedule lanyard and troubleshoot any questions/concerns regarding schedules. There will be mandatory “Schedule Pick-Up times” at Milton High School and at a variety of times (before school, after school, evening) to ensure all families have the opportunity to collect their schedule(s) prior to the first day of MSE. It is our hope that this will ensure a smooth start to the program on June 25 when the children arrive!
