PTC and Spelling Words

Parent-Teacher Conference is coming up on December 17-19.  I am looking forward to celebrating your amazing children with you.  Please look here for our track it forward sign up sheet.  You will find our sign up times listed on the above dates labeled Ms. Krista PTC.  If you have not made an account with Track it forward you will be prompted to do that before you can sign up for a conference slot.

Please sign up for conferences by Sunday, December 15.   After that, I will print the schedule and clear the online sign-up. Changes to the schedule will not be able to be made after that date. We look forward to meeting with you.

December 17-19 will also be early-out days.  School will dismiss at 1pm.  Winter break will be December 20-January 3.  School resumes on January 6.

Thanksgiving potluck

Dear Parents,

We will be having a Thanksgiving potluck in our class on Wednesday, Nov. 20. Please send a potluck item with your child to share with the class. I have created a wejoinin sign up for you to use so we don’t have too much of the same thing. I have added a few blank rows for those who would like to bring items that are not included on the list.
Here is the sign-up link:
Thank you for your support in helping us put this together.

Original works art project

Hello Families,
Good news! Our Original Works deadline has been extended. There is still time to order something with your child’s artwork on it and still receive it before the holidays. You have until November 9th now. Late orders can be submitted until the 15th. Your children all worked hard on their art and are proud of it. These make good, easy gifts for grandparents and other family members. The ornaments and quilt squares are great keepsakes. Please take some time to view your options and order. The proceeds from this go directly to your student’s teacher to be used in the classroom. Simply follow the instructions provided on the Dear Family Letter you received previously.
For any questions please contact Ms. Jalee at jschofield@mariamontessoriacademy.org.
Thank you!
