When Portland Public Schools announces closure, early dismissal, or delayed opening due to weather, MAC Child Care, Playschool, and youth classes are canceled or delayed. Coaches determine if specific sport team practices are canceled and use TeamSnap or Team Unify to notify the teams directly.

Founded in 1966, the Infant Swimming Resource’s (ISR) Self-Rescue program is recognized nationally as the safest provider of survival swimming lessons for infants and children ages 6 months to 6 years. With more than 45 years of research and development, highly trained certified Instructors are committed to safety with a proven history of success. Customized, one-on-one lessons by certified ISR instructors deliver some of the most effective and safest results in the industry, emphasizing health, evaluations, and parent education.
Ages 6-12 months: Focuses on teaching children to roll onto their backs to float, rest, and breathe, and maintain this life-saving position until help arrives.

Children learn to swim with their heads down, roll onto their backs to float, rest, and breathe; and roll back over to resume swimming until they reach the side of the pool, where they can either crawl out or be rescued. These private lessons are scheduled five days a week for 10 minutes each. Lessons are scheduled at the same time every day within the 2:40-5:10 p.m. timeframe for six weeks. An additional two weeks of class may be arranged if further instruction is needed. Capacity is one child for each 10-minute timeslot.

Please read: Competition for MAC Tennis classes is at an all-time high. For the benefit of all classes and to help ensure players are at a suitable level for each class, registration is limited to a player’s NTRP rating. Players with no NTRP rating are not eligible for 3.5 or higher-level classes. To acquire an NTRP rating, please visit the USTA League page at tennislink.usta.com/leagues/common/ Default.aspx. Registering out of level causes a player to be withdrawn from the class without notice. Please note, this policy is strictly followed. Below-level players only get into higher-level classes if there are no at-level players waiting and with a coach’s permission.
NTRP 2.0: Player is a beginner to the game of tennis. Grip and stroke production knowledge is very limited, as are basic strategies for competition.
NTRP 2.5: Player has taken some lessons but needs on-court experience and has obvious stroke weakness but is developing in singles and doubles.
NTRP 3.0: Player can place shots with moderate success and sustain a rally at a slow pace but lacks control when trying for power.
NTRP 3.5: Player has achieved stroke dependability and direction on shots within reach, including forehand and backhand volleys, but still lacks depth and variety, seldom double faults, and occasionally forces errors on the serve. All tennis instructors are subject to change without notice. Refunds are not issued if an instructor change occurs.
