Hello All,
This coming week is our schools STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Week. It is a busy week with lots of great opportunities for the kids. We are excited for the many things we get to participate in, but it does mean we will have some changes in schedule.
On Monday we have a STEM assembly with all of lower el at 10:30. Level 3s will also get to attend a caving and stratification workshop that afternoon.
On Tuesday, Level 3s will be attending a Hands on Chemistry workshop in the morning.
Wednesday is the science fair. Our class will get to view all the wonderful projects after judging is over. The Science Fair will be open to parent viewing on Wednesday, January 16th in the Junior High gymnasium from 2:30-4:00.
Thursday, all levels will get to attend a workshop from Clark Planetarium in the afternoon.
Friday we have Scales and Tails coming to give a presentation on reptiles.
*A reminder that our class STEM presentations are due next Tuesday, the 22nd. Each level will be displaying their presentations in the hall for all to see. They will also get the opportunity to present in our classroom. Please see previous posts for information on this.
We do not have school Monday, January 22 in observance of Civil Rights Day.
We have a few weeks during the remainder of the year that no one has signed up for snack: January 22; February 19; April 8; April 15; April 29.
If you are able to donate snack any of these weeks please go to Track it Forward to do so: https://www.trackitforward.com/site/389525/events
Intent to Return
Current students at MMA will not need to re-apply to the school through the Open Enrollment process but will need to indicate their “Intent to Return” to MMA to secure their spot for the 2019-2020 school year. The “Intent to Return” is live as of January 4, 2019 and is due by January 18, 2019. Returning students have a two-step re-enrollment process. The 1st step is the” Intent to Return” and the 2nd step is in the spring for Confirmation of Placement, Annual Policies and Procedures.
Once you declare your intent for the 2019-2020 school year, you will also have an opportunity to identify any additional siblings who may want to attend MMA. Siblings must be at least 5 years old on or before September 1, 2019. By adding a new sibling it does not guarantee a spot for the 2019-2020 school year. This sibling will be entered into the lottery.
As always, I want to thank you all for being such wonderful parents and for all your amazing support.
Take care.
