EDEP Waiting List

We understand that there is a wait list for EDEP after school care.  MLS Parent Martha Perkins is looking into alternate options, such as ACAC, which could provide transportation from MLS if enough children enroll.  If you are interested in pursuing this option, please contact Martha at MEH6R@hscmail.mcc.virginia.edu or 434-996-3202.  (Please note: MLS and the PTO are not endorsing or coordinating this program; we are merely hoping to connect parents who are searching for after-school care.)
