FSD's Morning and Afternoon Care (MAC), is a school-based program that provides childcare for students before and after school. MAC is also open on special days when school is not in session, such as snow days, early dismissal days, and school holidays.

Fall Break is October 7th-11th

MAC will be held at Johnson Elementary for all schools.

A morning and afternoon snack will be provided for your child, but you must provide a lunch and drink each day.

You are only charged for the days that your child attends at a rate of $42.00 a day per child.

Please click the link below if you would like to register. You will need to register each of your children individually. Registration is due by Monday, September 30th. If you register after that date you will be charged an additional $10.00 per day drop in fee.

Program Goals

The FSD’s vision statement of “Excellence in Teaching and Learning for All” applies to the MAC Program, which endeavors to be the best program that it can be.

One goal of the MAC Program is to give all children the same opportunities. One way this is accomplished is by offering enrichment classes and field trips at no extra charge. MAC also provides free tutoring and homework help to any child who attends. Grants are sought so that every child in the district has the opportunity to attend. For the past few years, MAC has also been awarded a Lottery for Education in After School Programs (LEAPS) Grant, which helps fund after-school care for low-income students in five FSSD schools. Grant programs enable students to receive academic tutoring, enrichment activities, healthy snacks, social connections with other children outside of the school day, and a safe and caring environment. If you are interested in applying for tuition assistance through the LEAPS grant, please contact the phone numbers below. Eligible students must be on free and reduced lunch, or be referred to the program by a building principal or school counselor.

Feedback
The MAC Program seeks feedback from its staff and stakeholders. Staff surveys are utilized to seek input.

The MAC Program also seeks feedback from its most important stakeholders, the students and their parents. Input is always encouraged and the program is made better by the valuable feedback received from the students and their families. Input from building principals and classroom teachers is also actively sought in order to better meet the academic needs of the students.
