If you are interested in helping our classroom by becoming a certified driver for our field trips, please plan on attending back to school night on September 4th.  Background checks and fingerprinting will be done at that time.  The cost is $60 and is good for 5 years.  If you are new to our  classroom this year and are already certified, would you please let me know.  Certified drivers help make it possible to attend fieldtrips.  We do not have a busing system here at Maria Montessori Academy and therefor it is up to the parents to provide transportation for your own student to fieldtrip sites.  With the help of certified drivers, we are able to make fieldtrips possible for students who need rides.  If you are interested, please send me a quick note.  The time you spend as a certified driver counts toward your 40 volunteer hours.
