MMA would like to offer you a great volunteer opportunity to help your child’s class by becoming a certified parent driver. This certification is good for 6 years.
We appreciate parents who become certified to drive students on class field trips. Having parent drivers allows classes to stretch their field trip funds by avoiding bussing costs. This can allow for more field trip opportunities for the kids.

Hello MMAJH Parents,
We are sending home any permission slips that have any missing signatures. They need to be complete for your child to be able to attend Thursday’s field trip. PLEASE ask your student if they have brought something home for you to review. We want everyone involved in this adventure!
Ms. Kevi
Now, Hello MMAJH Students,
You must turn in your permission slips before you go to your first class. Place them in the Student Basket, on Ms. Jaime’s desk. Let’s get ready to play.
Here is a link to help you practice your belaying knot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFffbkXSgNI Please practice this at home. The video show a fisherman’s knot at the end. You do not have to do that knot.
The B-Schedule Students had the opportunity to work on their skills today. All A-Schedule Students will practice this tomorrow. The rope, and I, will be available during lunch tomorrow.
Now, here is a fun link of an amazing climb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx–wHJZVAE
See you all tomorrow.
Ms. Kevi
Dear MMA Junior High Parent,
It has come to my attention (one day too late) that there is a scheduling issue. Our trip to The Front Climbing Club will not be on Friday. It will be on Thursday, August 28th. Everything else is correct.
If you have already signed the numerous, consent forms and already returned them, thank you! Please sign and have your student sign the Date Change Acknowledgement form.
Attached is also the The Front Participant and Liability Agreement -Ogden . Again, please sign both and return them in the time allotted.
You are still expected to either drop-off and pick your student up, or you will need to set up carpool plans. Thank you for sharing your child with us, allowing them to have these adventures, and your patience with me.
Sincerely,
Ms. Kevi (Your fearless/fearful leader)
Jr High students were sent home with permission slips for our first Field Trip at The Front Climbing Club. This will take place on Thursday, August 28th.
Permission Slip Forms must be returned as quickly as possible (Prior to 3 days of the trip). We are unable to accept permission slips the day before or the day of the trip. The student will have to stay at the school with another assigned teacher. This will be standard for all field trips throughout the year.
If you need the forms for The Front, you can print them off from the links below. Please make sure every area is signed before it is returned.
The Front Info The Front Permission Slip (Sign & Return) The Front Consent Form (Sign & Return) The Front Liability Form (Sign & Return) The Front Participant and Liability Agreement -Ogden (Sign & Return) Date Change Acknowledgement (Sign & Return)
Details: Please arrange to drop your child off at 225 20th Street, Ogden, Utah at 8:50am on Thursday, August 28, 2014. The students will learn some of the skills and techniques of leadership through rock climbing. Each student will receive an orientation to the facility, learn the terminology and about the gear used by climbers and belayers. They will experience the role of climber and supporter. Students learn to support and encourage one another. Parents will be responsible for transportation to and from The Front Climbing Club. Students will need to be picked up at 2:15pm.
We do have some wonderful parents who are Certified Drivers & have volunteered to help arrange some carpool. It is not through the school. Please give them plenty of notice so that all students can enjoy this experience. Melinda Montgomery- (801) 695-6188 – [melmont30@gmail.com] Jeanne Smith – (801) 920-3045
We’re looking forward to this fun experience.
