I’m so excited for the first day of school tomorrow!  I can’t wait to see all of the students and begin our new year together.  Just a reminder that school will be from 8:30 AM-1:00 PM every day this week.  Please familiarize yourself with the drop off and pick up procedures to help facilitate a smooth traffic flow.  Ms. Petra or I will be standing outside with a sign for the first 3 days of school to help walk new students to class.  Please look for us rather than walking your student inside.

Remember that students will need to bring a lunch to school every day.  We do have microwaves available for students who would like to bring a hot lunch.  Please make sure the lunches are healthy and do not send any candy, soda, or red drinks.  Use reusable containers when possible to cut down on garbage.  We have a very limited supply of utensils in our classroom, so be sure to send a fork or spoon with your child’s lunch if they need one.

I am really looking forward to getting to know all of my new students this year!  If you are the parent of a new student, please let me know if there is anything I should be aware of that will help me give your child all that they need to have a successful school year.  Also let me know of any health concerns or allergies I should be aware of.

I am always happy to hear from you and answer any questions you may have.  E-mail me any time at kgonzales@mariamontessoriacademy.org.
