Well, the last two weeks of school are upon us. I find it hard to believe! Here are some important things that you should know.
On Tuesday, May 14th, we will be making up our RISE assessments. Please help your child come to school well rested and with a tummy full of healthy food. A water bottle would be great, too.
Upper Elementary field day is May 17th from 12-2pm. Students may wear appropriate athletic attire this day. You may want to send sunscreen if it is a sunny day.
On Monday, May 20th, we will be participating in Maria’s Market with other upper elementary students. The students may set up a booth and sell items that they have made or no longer want. They may not sell candy or sodas. We love you parents, but you are not invited to stay and attend this fun activity. The students have been earning Maria Montessori money in class for the past couple of weeks in preparation for this market. I will be sending home more information next week.
May 21st, 22nd, and 23rd are parent teacher conferences. Please bring your child with you to the conference so that they can show you all of the things that they have been learning. Also plan to attend the book fair while you are at conferences. This is my favorite fair because it is buy one get one free! You can sign up for an appointment here:

May 21st-24th are early out days and school will be dismissed at 1:00pm.
May 22nd is our 6th grade bridging ceremony at 10:30am. Please come celebrate the 6th graders as they complete elementary school and move on to junior high. The parents of 6th graders are invited to come have breakfast with their students before the ceremony at 9:30am. This is our way of celebrating the 6th graders as well as thanking their parents for their love and support.
May 23rd is crazy sock and/or hair day
May 24th is wear tie dye or your favorite sports team attire day
The last day of school is May 24th. Students who ordered a yearbook will receive it that day.
I hope I remembered everything! Please let me know if you have any questions. kgonzales@mariamontessoriacademy.org
