A Look at the 1st Week of School! Welcome Back!
Posted on Sunday, August 20th, 2017 at 3:10 pmHello Everyone!
Please review this post carefully as it has important information and volunteer opportunities for Eclipse 2017 on Monday!
School Reminders
Drop Off and Pick Up: Regardless if you have social media or not, MMA put out a video about how cars should drop off and exit the parking lot. Please visit our school website or Maria Montessori Academy of Utah on Facebook to review that video.
It is IMPERATIVE that you ALWAYS pull forward and NOT drop or pick your child up at certain spots along the way. We as the teachers have designated spots that we will be at after school. A few staff members have morning spots as well. Please follow our directions and be kind and. Have patience and please follow our rules so that students stay safe. We will get your child to where they need to be. My post for the year will be the crosswalk between North Shore and MMA. THERE IS NO DROP OFF OR PICK UP IN THE STREET! This is for safety reasons! I will have this same post for 3/4ths of the year.
Early Out Week: Pick up is at 1pm Monday-Friday August 21st-August 25th. Full days begin August 28th. Early Childhood begins August 28th.
Eclipse Glasses: I cannot stress the importance of going over with your child the absolute importance of keeping your eclipse glasses on and even with them on, please do not stare for a long period of time. Staring at the sun without the glasses during the eclipse can cause blindness or burning. Please please please go over this with your child.
Also, The school also has glasses only for the students.
Classroom News & Reminders
Monday- Eclipse 2017 Day!: Our class will be learning and working on eclipse activities during school hours on Monday August 21st. I will be sending the students out to recess at 10:45am. If you would like to volunteer to help make sure kids keep their glasses on and help any who need their eclipse paper filled out, please email me! If you are wanting to help out, please come to the classroom at 10:45am and I will go over the eclipse papers and glasses with you. We will be on the field at 11:15 until around 11:40-11:45 to view the eclipse. We will eat lunch afterwards.
Supplies: Monday will also be the day that a lot of school supplies are coming. I need you to please put your child’s name on the bag. I have one bag with blueberries and strawberries on it with blue handles that was dropped off and I cannot for the life of me remember who dropped it off. There isn’t a name on anything, so if this bag is your child’s, please email me. I don’t want to get anybody’s supplies mixed up!
In the supplies that have been dropped off, I have only seen 2 students with a zippered pencil case. Please make sure your student has a zippered pencil case so I and Ms. Misha can put your child’s supplies in it!
*If you are brand new to the classroom, the school supply list can be found in a tab to the top of our blog.
Snack: We don’t have anyone signed up for snack for the 1st week of school. Please sign up for snack up to 2 times for the year. Also, where you see the name- Kanon Spruill on the snack sign up, that student had to unfortunately leave, so those dates are open. Only you guys can delete your sign up. I can only clear the whole sign up sheet. To delete, please go the email that was sent to you thanking you for signing up. On there, there should be a link to edit or delete.
Friday- On Friday, the students are going to be practice rug spaces and their rug name tags. Your child may bring a few board games or card games to share and build relationships with students in our room. Please let them bring a few games to share on this day.
If you have any questions please feel free to email me!
Have a great rest of your weekend and week
Cheers!
Ms. Kaley
