MMA Junior High

Good Evening!

Ms. Stephanie just gave permissions for the jr high students to enjoy a day wearing pajamas tomorrow, Friday, in celebration of Literacy Week.  Please make sure that your jammies are modest and that there are no logos.  This means no jammies that are ‘characters.’ Email Ms. Emily if you are unsure and need clarification.

Please sign up for your student’s advisory teacher, which is where you will begin. The first 15 minutes will be spent in the advisory house going over your students portfolio with the advisory teacher. After the first 15 minutes, there will be 50 minutes reserved for you to meet with any other teachers that you would like.
