Good afternoon, Mr. Brosnahan here. There was some incorrect information found within the Bear Care letter that went out in the back-to-school registration packets. I apologize for any confusion but wanted to communicate a couple of changes:
1. Bear Care start date will be the second day of school, August, 22nd...NOT the 21st as noted.
2. Bear Care will be available until 6:00PM...NOT 5:30PM as noted.
3. Friday's are available for an additional $20/day. Please communicate with Amanda Groth regarding monthly schedules and she will bill accordingly.
4. Marion-enrolled preschool and junior kindergarten students are WELCOME to attend Bear Care on their scheduled school days, and are also welcome Fridays. Please let the Bear Care Director, Amanda Groth, know if interested in this option.
Thank you!
Mr. Brosnahan
