MMA Families,
As parent teacher conferences grow closer we would like to remind families that when they come to the school we would like students and parents to both be present at appointments. Also please see your advisory teacher during conferences so that students can establish goals for 2nd quarters. Below are the links for the We Join In for conferences if you have not had an opportunity to sign up yet.
Thank you!

Hello MMA Jr. High Parents,
We are excited to announce that parent teacher conferences will be held October 12th, 13th, & 14th. For this conference we will be providing a sign up for individual teachers every 15 minutes. This means that you can sign up for the teachers that you wish to visit with. For some this may mean only visiting with one teacher, for others it may be seeing all teachers. Below are we join in links that you can follow to sign up for which day and time you will be visiting what teacher. If you have any troubles or questions please feel free to contact Ms. Jessica at jatwood@mariamontessoriacdemy.org.
Thank You!

Annaston, a new student to MMAJH leads out in the service project
Don and Aldridge totally focused
Wax on….Wax off
Welcome to MMAJH Ms Jessi !
Tyla is amazingly happy so early in the morning
Fearlessly climbing to staggering heights, Brannock is as calm as a cucumber
These students are very serious about getting a head start on their 10 hours of required service. BAM!!!
Attention! Friday morning, 9am, will be the cut off for the permission slips. Those who do not have a slip in will not be going next week. We need a firm count to then cut the check for the Clas Ropes course. Also, please note that pick up time has been moved to 1 pm. We ask that students be prepared with a cold lunch that they can access at any time during the event. It would be great if students had a pack of some sort that can hold their water bottle and lunch.
Wednesday’s group has an additional carpool that recently opened up. Click here to view the available slots: http://www.wejoinin.com/sheets/knlli
Also, please encourage your student to bring a snack. They are getting hunger pains before our lunch time of 12:36.
Here is a link to the paperwork in case you need to re-print any of the documents:

Saturday, August 15 we are gathering as a jr high to paint the playground equipment, so wear your grungiest clothes. We are meeting at 8:30am (so we don’t fry in the heat of the sun) at the playground. We also have received word that we can move all the picnic tables from the ‘outdoor classroom’ to establish a lunch area outside near the portables. We will need some keen eyes to see how best to set up these tables. If you have any questions email Ms. Jessi jleavell@mariamontessoriacademy.org or Ms Emily egoddard@mariamontessoriacademy.org 
Aldridge, we will be paying royalties since we are using your picture from last year’s staining event.
This year you will be part of an Advisory house, which will be a mixture of 7th, 8th & freshman. You will be attending Clas Ropes in Eden.
We are working with certified drivers to arrange transportation to and from this event and will be providing a We Join In link so that you may sign up for your given day;
Wednesday August 26 – Ms. Fallon & Ms. Jessi
Thursday August 27 – Mr. Rob & Ms. Marie
Friday August 28 – Ms. Kat & Ms Emily
We will gather at the course 8:45 am and begin the adventure at 9 am. Parents & carpools will be excused after 12:30.
Permission slips will need to be returned signed by August 19th, the third day of school. Feel free to print out your slips here and return them earlier if you wish. Those who do not have slips turned in by the proper date will remain at the school for a regular day.
Directions:
Once over the North Ogden divide take a LEFT on 3300 East. Drive on 3300 East for a while (less than 2 miles) until you see North Fork Road. Turn LEFT onto North Fork Road. You will be on North Fork Road for about 3 miles. Do NOT turn into the Ben Lomond “Trailhead” (Wait for the Cutler Flats Gate). Among other things, you will pass Lauren Lane, a Middle Gate for Ben Lomond, and a Lamondi Stake Camp. Once you see the Cutler Flats Gate, turn LEFT onto that trail-head. On this road, go about .6 miles, passing a solar panel on your right, etc. You will come to a fork in the road and a sign. Turn LEFT at the little sign. the next sign you come to, turn RIGHT through the red fence we have opened for you. You will know you have arrived at our Eden Course when you see a concrete square building – our bathrooms, as well as a gray and green round pavilion.
