Summer programs are available for Preschool and Elementary students and for continuing Two Year Old students, or Two Year Olds enrolling for the upcoming school year. Dates for the 2011 summer program are May 23-August 18, 2011 for the Two Year Old and 3-6 year-old Preschool programs and June 13-August 18, 2011 for the Elementary programs. School will be closed on Monday, May 30 (Memorial Day), Friday, June 10 (Kamehameha Day), and Monday, July 4 (Independence Day).
Applications for the summer programs are distributed beginning in March, and students are generally accepted on a space-available basis. The 2011 summer program is now closed, and we are no longer accepting applications. Please check back in March for the Summer 2012 application.

*The Pro-rated Weekly Rate is used to

Preschool/Kindergarten programs only. A minimum one-week enrollment is
required for current MCS students, and a minimum of four consecutive weeks’
enrollment is required for new students. Partial summer enrollment using the
Pro-rated Weekly Rate is
available on a space-available basis only.
School will be closed on May 30 (Memorial Day), June 10 (Kamehameha Day), and
July 4 (Independence Day).
1. Please be aware that there is a time
delay necessary
to achieve the final results of the tuberculin skin
test. You should allow at least two days from the day
the test is administered for the results to be read. We
cannot admit a child until the test has been read by a
local, U.S. (Hawaii) health official, and the t.b. test
results must be negative.
2. If the skin test is positive, a
chest x-ray must be taken and the result must be
negative.
3. If your child has received an
international tuberculosis vaccine (the BCG), the
results of a skin test taken in Hawaii will probably be
positive. A follow-up chest x-ray will then be required
for clearance. If you choose to have the t.b. test
administered at a free State Health Clinic, such as
Lanakila Health Center, your child must have the skin
test first. If the skin test is positive, your child
will need a chest x-ray for clearance. If you take the
test at a State-run clinic, this procedure is required
by law so you should allow for the additional delay.
4. If you wish to decrease the
waiting time, you may visit a private physician. Take
your child’s health records to the physician so he or
she can verify that your child received the t.b.
vaccine. The physician can bypass the skin test and
administer the chest x-ray immediately. You will receive
the results faster, but you will be charged for the
physician’s services.
HEALTH RECORDS (Form 14).
All new students must submit a
current health card ("Form 14") prior to enrollment. The Form 14,
available here in Hawaii through a physician's office, must include a record
of the negative tuberculin test, a physical examination, and updated
immunizations. In particular, the date of the latest tetanus shot is
important. The physical examination must be performed by a licensed
U.S. health practitioner (i.e. M.D., D.O., A.P.R.N., or P.A.).
BIRTHDATE VERIFICATION.
In order to verify your child's age,
a copy of your child's birth certificate must be submitted prior to the
first day of school, and will be kept on file in the school's office.
If you are arriving from overseas, the school must also obtain a copy of
your child's passport. In some cases, a copy of the parent's passport
may also be required in order to verify your status.
INTERNATIONAL RECORDS.
Please have all required records
translated into English.
EMERGENCY CARD.
The Emergency Card must list local
(Hawaii) telephone numbers and addresses.
