Questions about PUBLIC REGISTRATION on Friday, February 23? Maybe the following will help!
**WHAT DO I HAVE TO BRING TO REGISTER? Bring your completed registration form and the registration fee to reserve your space for next school year. We accept cash (no change given- over payment applied to tuition), check (made payable to MDS), or money order. We do not accept cards.
**WHERE DO I GO? Registration takes place at 206 W. Power in the Children’s Ministry Center of First United Methodist Church where Methodist Day School is located (the door located between the two playgrounds)
**WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE? Every year is different. We have no way of knowing what time to arrive since everything you need is available online. Use your best judgment when determining the time you arrive.
**DO I HAVE TO TALK TO A STAFF MEMBER BEFORE REGISTRATION DAY? We would love to visit with you about our great school, but calling before registration day is not required. We never know how many people will show up or what age group new families will be interested in so speaking to a staff member about what time you should arrive will not be helpful.
**I HAVE TO BE AT WORK EARLY, HOW LONG WILL REGISTRATION TAKE? The doors usually open a little before 7am (some times a lot earlier - depending on how early the director gets there). You will turn in registration form and payment, get a receipt, and be on your way. If there is no space available for your child, your contact information will be added to our wait list (no registration form or payment will be accepted if class is full).
**DOES A PARENT HAVE TO REGISTER THE STUDENT? No. If you have a friend, neighbor, or relative who would like to stand in line for you on Friday, send them with the completed registration form and registration fee ($375 for 2, 3, and 4 year olds and $425 for kindergarten).
**HOW MANY SPACES ARE AVAILABLE IN EACH CLASS? We begin to register current students and their families in mid-February. Class availability will be posted on the MDS website (www.fumcvictoria.com) and on the MDS facebook page by 8pm on Thursday, February 22.
**HOW DO I DETERMINE THE CLASS FOR MY CHILD? Class placement is determined by the age of the child on September 1, 2024.
**ARE YOU OFFERING AN 18 MONTH CLASS? To better serve the Victoria area, we no longer offer the 18 month program at MDS. We have expanded our two year old classes to offer three classes for the school year (36 students).
**WHAT IF I CAN NOT MAKE THE FIRST DAY OF PUBLIC REGISTRATION ON FEBRUARY 23? We may have space available in the class you need. Give us a call or check out our facebook page for class availability. If there is available space for your child, you can come by with the completed registration form and fee to get your child registered.
**AFTER I REGISTER, THEN WHAT? Everyone who registers will be given a receipt. That receipt has the dates you will come back to complete the registration process (in July). If you move after you register for next school year, please call or email the school with your new contact information. A letter will be sent to all 2024-2025 students in July.
