| Dear Maple Village Families,
I hope you are enjoying your week! Administration has been onsite, working on projects and enjoying the children who are with us for care this week. Thank you to Pam Villano for arranging the care program, and to Ciana and Jewel for teaching!
Several exciting things happened since we have seen each other.
1. We had an amazing turn-out for our Early Childhood Open House last Saturday! The Parent/Toddler and Preschool rooms were packed with parents and children seeking to find out more about our school. Many turned in applications on the spot! Our Parent/Toddler class is now overfull, with only a few spots left in our Wednesday Outdoor Class. Our new “Me and My Baby” class is full for pre-walkers, with just a few spots left for walkers to 17 mo (so if you know anyone who might be interested, tell them to enroll asap before the last spots are snatched. Class begins March 7.)
2. We are thrilled to have been named Hulafrog’s "Most Loved Private School" of 2018! Hulafrog is a website listing local events for families with children. Voting took place between January 6 and Feb. 2nd. What a nice surprise!
Please see my message below about Discussion with the Dean next Friday, and I look forward to seeing everyone on Monday!
Warmly,
Lisa |

2018-2019 Enrollment Now Open!
Hello MVWS families,
Reenrollment for the 2018-2019 school year is now open. We will be exclusively enrolling returning students for five weeks until we open the enrollment process to new families as well on April 2nd. This reenrollment period is for students currently in Preschool through 7th grade. There are two contracts -- one for Preschoolers and one for K-8 students.
A note on Preschool: Parent/Toddler families wanting to enroll in Preschool will need to go through our full admissions process, but will still receive enrollment priority over new families (I will send out an email with more info soon). We are once again offering 3-day Preschool classes for next school year. If you would be interested in and could commit to a 4-day or 5-day class, please let us know. We cannot promise that 4- or 5-day programs will be available, but we are exploring possibilities and would like to hear from those with serious interest.
This year we are offering a registration discount to families reenrolling by March 15th: Early registration fees will be $175 per child. Once this discount expires, registration fees will increase to $350 per child. We're also offering several tuition discount tiers for families paying full annual tuition in advance, up to 7% off (details in contract)!
To reenroll, please stop by our office with a fully completed & signed enrollment contract for each child and your payment of annual registration & supply fees to hold your child's spot in the class. Enrollment contracts and payment must be submitted together and will not be accepted separately. Please read the entire contract carefully and keep a copy for your records.
If you have questions about the reenrollment process, feel free to call/email me or stop by the office. Questions about your account balance or tuition adjustment should be directed to Pam Villano at business.admin@maplevillageschool.org. All ATA families will need to reapply for next school year by May 1st (i.e. update TADS application and submit new offer letter to Pam) and will be informed of a decision by May 31st.
Thank you for reenrolling as soon as possible, as this allows us to better prepare financially and logistically for the upcoming school year!
Warmly,
Alice

We are excited to be making a yearbook available for families this year! We are making the book more affordable as it is growing in size (along with our school!) by offering a tax-deductible marketing opportunity for local businesses that are in alignment with our values.
If you have any business leads that you think would be interested please email us at mvwsyearbook@gmail.com.
Also, we want YOUR photos!
Please email high resolution photos along with photo details, such as:
- students' names
- classrooms
- event names
- dates
- description of school work
If you have many high res photos from an event I will provide a Dropbox link to you when you email the above address.
Thank you!
Your Yearbook Committee Chairperson,
Jo Hendrix
aka Justice’s Mama (Sweet Pea Class)

Scrip - Go Mobile!
You have until March 2nd to take advantage of a great offer! Athleta, Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy are offering 20% of sales right now on Shop With Scrip. That means if you purchase a gift card for $100 at one of these stores and even use that over time, Maple Village gets $20! Go to www.ShopWithScrip.com or www.myscripwallet.com.
Did you know that you can effectively install a mobile app on your smartphone to purchase or reload ShopWithScrip gift cards and use them immediately to pay for purchases? To install the app, visit myscripwallet.com. Once there, iPhone users can tap the up arrow icon at the very bottom of their screen (the icon that looks like an arrow in a square), then choose “add to home screen”.
On an Android phone, tap the menu button in Chrome (probably 3 dots at the top right corner of the screen) and then choose “Add to homescreen”. If you use Firefox for Android, press the menu button, click the “page” option, and then tap “Add to home screen”. An icon will now appear on the home screen of your smartphone.
The great part about using MyScripWallet is that you can finish your shopping or ordering, and then purchase a ScripNow e-card or reload another existing card right before you are ready to pay (we often order cards while standing in line at Whole Foods and Starbucks, or right before submitting an order on smile.amazon.com). The clerk will scan the barcode on your phone and you can pay any remaining balance with cash or credit/debit card. Any unused gift card balances can be used at a later time.
Remember to watch for ShopWithScrip bonuses (sometimes up to 25% scrip rates) and to complete any online ordering through either smile.amazon.com or escrip.com to double up on scrip, earning through both the website and a purchased e-card.
