Welcome!!



Hello and welcome to MOPS! Our First meeting is Thursday, September 11th at 9am. Childcare check-in starts at 8:45, so please plan to get your kids settled before 9 am.

This year’s MOPS theme is “Adventures in Mothering”. Each of our meetings will be based on a ride or event at an amusement park. We will share our daily adventures as mothers and learn how to hold on for the ride of mothering. You should be recieving your welcome letter as well as DGL and table assignments by the first week of September.

Your children will be well cared for in our MOPPETS program. Assignments for MOPPETS rooms will be given at check in on the first day.

Parking is always a challenge! In the front of the building, you may only park in SMCC designated spots or blank parking spots. DO NOT park in ACS parking. All other parking is behind the building to the north or in the dirt lot across the street. Please use caution when crossing the street because there are many large trucks that travel that road. Carpool if you have the opportunity to do so.

Please plan to bring a check or cash for the $48 semester fee at the first meeting, (sorry we are unable to process debit or credit cards). If you registered over the phone, you will need to pay the $24 registration fee as well. Scholarship or payment plans are available, just ask Amber Sletten when you check in on the first day.

I am excited about all that this MOPS year has in store for us! Please call if you have any questions!
