Hello Moretown School Families,
Many people have been asking similar questions about our new MECA (Moretown Education Center for All) program. Moie Moulton has provided some answers to these questions below. We have also been asked if we have available slots for both our pre-school and afterschool program - we have spaces in both programs. If you are considering participating please contact Moie Moulton at 802 522 2520 or email her at mmoulton@wwsu.org.

There will be a family guidebook sent out to families next week with all of this information and more. Please read through this guidebook and alert me of any other questions you may have regarding the M.E.C.A preschool and after school program. Please also send your enrollment forms as soon as you can so that we can ensure your child(ren) a spot within the M.E.C.A program.
