M & M Extra Care
January 2020
It’s Another Decade!
“Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.” Let’s continue to encourage our students to do their best and persevere even when it becomes challenging at times. Don’t forget to do your best as well!
“We all get the exact same 365 days. The only difference is what we do with them.”
With that said, Happy New Decade, 2020 to EVERYONE! It is with great excitement we leave the old and EMBRACE and ANTICIPATE this new decade! “Whether we want to or not, the new year will bring new challenges: Whether we seize them or not the new year will bring new opportunities.” We encourage you to embrace this new year! Let us help the students challenge themselves to be the best that they can be as we lead by example. Bring it on 2020, with everything great you have for us!

Important Reminders
***WINTER is HERE! Parents, please make sure that students are wearing winter gear such as gloves, hats, and coats. If possible, please check the weather and dress your student(s) appropriately. They really enjoy going outside and we want to be sure that they are dressed for the cold weather. Please label students’ belongings. It is very helpful when trying to return lost items.
***Technology for FUN Friday-Students can bring in their technology on Fridays which includes a cell phone. However, students can only play appropriate games. NO social media or phone calls are allowed.
***Please notify us if your student will be a drop in or absent: This year we are continuing with the same system as last year in which it allows us to better know who to expect in our program daily. The school does not let us know when a student is absent. Please text (734) 506-0535 with your student’s name and inform us if they are going to be a drop in or absent and this will immediately notify Mrs. Susan. Thank You.
*** We close at 6:00pm: There is a $5.00 late fee per 15 minutes you are late to pick up. If the tardiness becomes regular, the late fee will be $1.00 per each minute. Excessive tardiness could lead to suspension from M & M.
***Cell Phones: We are aware that you may need to communicate with your student(s). However, in the event of an emergency, please use the M&M number provided to communicate. We have experienced students receiving phone calls and/or text messages from their parents and leaving to meet parents in the parking lot. For the safety of the students, we are asking that all students be picked up from their classrooms. Students are ONLY allowed to use technology on Fridays at M&M or when allowed by staff for special events.
***Schedule Changes or Withdrawal from Program: If you need to change your schedule or withdrawal from M&M, please use the Schedule Change Form that is located on our website on the Tools and Payments Page. It is required, per your contract, that all notice of change and/or removal from the program occur at least a week in advance and MUST be in writing. Using the Schedule Change form meets the requirement of the written form and it is very convenient. You MAY NOT simply tell an M&M Staff Member and expect that to be your notice. Our team members on site oversee the safety and care of the students, they are not expected to remember to report verbal communication from parents. Our home office staff, however, is fully equipped to handle your scheduling needs. Thank you so much with your cooperation in this regard.
