Welcome!

Hello!

Welcome to another fantastic school year!  I am so excited to meet all of my new students and reconnect with my returning students.  The main source of communication for our class will be through this class blog. It is very important that you subscribe to receive updates.  Please click on the link in the right column to subscribe by e-mail.  You will receive an e-mail with a link to confirm your subscription.  You must click the link in order to be subscribed and notified of blog updates.

I hope to see all of you at the Back To School Pool Party on Tuesday, August 2nd from 7-9 PM at the North Shore Aquatic Center in North Ogden.  In addition to swimming and making new friends, you will have the opportunity to sign up to volunteer for various activities at the school and purchase school spirit shirts.  Concessions will also be available for purchase.

For more back to school information, please refer to the latest school newsletter here:  http://mariamontessoriacademy.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/July-18th-MMM.pdf

To keep up to date on everything happening at Maria Montessori Academy, please subscribe to the school’s main blog.  When you look at the newsletter, there is a link in the right column at the bottom to subscribe.  Follow the same steps as you did to subscribe to our class blog.

When purchasing new school clothing, please refer to the school’s dress code here:  http://mariamontessoriacademy.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Dress-Code-Guidelines-Updated.pdf  You can also purchase school spirit shirts, which can be worn in lieu of a collared shirt, from this link:  https://squareup.com/store/beeyouteesfundraising

Now, here’s what you’ve all been waiting for:  The School Supply List! 

Here are the supplies for the 2016-2017 school year.  Please feel free to use supplies you still have from last year if they are in good shape.  The students will be keeping their own supplies. Please label everything with your child’s first and last names.  The binder should be labeled on the spine.  It is helpful if supplies are unpackaged before the students bring them to school.  The dividers and page protectors can be put into the binder.  The pencils, scissors, etc. can be put into the pencil box.  If you are unable to purchase these supplies, please let me know.

White 1 1/2″  three ring binder  (New students only.  Returning students should use their portfolio from last year.  Please make sure you bring it back to school if you brought it home over the summer.)

25 page protectors

1 package of 5 dividers with pockets  (New students only)

1 package loose leaf notebook paper

1 or 2 packages 24 Ticonderoga pencils (These are the only pencils that hold up!)

6 wide ruled composition notebooks

1 pair scissors

1 ruler

1 pencil box

2 plastic 3 prong folders with pockets (any colors)

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.  I prefer that you use my school e-mail (kgonzales@mariamontessoriacademy.org) to communicate, rather than replying through the blog. I am so excited to see all of you and embark on this journey together!
