Jump Start
Before School Program

Please see below for registration information.

What is Jump Start and why should I choose Jump Start?

Before school programs have proven to be a valuable resource to each school, offering enrichment opportunities, homework assistance, and recreation to over 200 students in grades K-8 before the school day. In many cases, the program is a safe haven for students who need to be brought to school early because of family work schedules.

The Jump Start program is available at four of the K-8 schools in Malden for children in grades Kindergarten through eight. The program at the Beebe, Forestdale and Linden start at 7:00 am.  Children should arrive no later than 7:05 am to be part of the activities. The program at the Salemwood start at 6:45.  Children should arrive no later than 6:50 to be part of the Jump Start activities.  At the end of the program the children are brought to the cafeteria for breakfast.  

What is the Fee?

The fee for Jump Start is $5.00 per day at the Beebe, Forestdale & Linden School.  The cost will be $4.50 per day at the Salemwood School. Limited financial aid is available for families. We will require a copy of your 2007 1040.  The registration fee is $10.00 and a 25% deposit is required at the time of registration.  The start date is September 4 for grades 1 through 8 and Kindergarten starts September 8 which is their first full day of school.  The program runs all school year until the last day of school.
