Hello Everyone!
School starts Monday! Can you believe it? I was so excited to see so many of you and your children tonight at the back to school night. We are going to have an amazing year! I will create some pages at the top of the blog with the documents I had available tonight. That way you can all have access to them.
I am sending this message via email as well as putting it on my blog. PLEASE subscribe to my blog if you have not already. It is my main means of communication. To do this visit blogs.mariamontessoriacademy.org/jalee/. To the right under the calendar you will see where you can click to subscribe. Please open the email it sends you or you will not be subscribed.
A few reminders as we start the year:
This week is our first week back to school. The doors open at 8:15 a.m. and school starts at 8:30 a.m. All days are early out days so please plan on picking your child up at 1 p.m. We will be having lunch everyday so still pack a lunch for your child. If you send something that needs heated up, please keep it to about one minute. This allows all kids who need to, to use the microwave and still have time to eat. If you were unable to get supplies to the school this past week, please feel free to send them next week.
When you drop your child off in the morning, please do not walk your child into the school. For the first week of school, either the assistant or teacher will be standing in front of the school with a sign so your child can wait with them. This way, they won’t get lost on their way to class. Either Ms. Tiffany or myself will be waiting out front for your class.
As you are dropping off and picking up your children, please use your best grace and courtesy. Remember, we all love our children and want them to be safe so stay off your cell phone and stay alert. Please take a look at this map to familiarize yourself with where to go. MMA Carpool 19-20 (1)
A few other helpful things to remember to help you while you are dropping off or picking up are
1. please pull forward. If there is space in front of you, pull forward.
2.Pay attention at all times, children will step out in front of you.
3.PLEASE STAY OFF YOUR PHONE. It is not wise to be on your phone while you are driving and especially in a parking lot of over 400 children.
4.Please do as directed by the teachers who are directing traffic.
5. Please stay in your car if you are using the pickup lanes.
6.Use the crosswalk, model this behavior for the children.
7.Ask for help if you need it.
8.Finally, please be patient. We are all new to this traffic pattern and it will all work out if with work together.
