Parents,

As you may know, our before school program was discontinued late last month. Our PTO and school leaders are looking to find a replacement program to meet the needs of our students.

It is important to know that before school programs are not managed by Miner Elementary, but are supplied by a third-party.

The process to find a suitable, licensed third-party provider may take some time, possibly into the next school year.

However, we need to know how many of our Miner families are interested in a before-care program. 

Before-care programs have associated fees, sometimes it is a flat fee, sometimes on a sliding scale and many others accept voucher payments. The more we know about how many students are interested in this program, the better we will be able to find a good fit moving forward. 

If you are interested in being on an information list for before-school care, please:
