Hello Families!
I am so excited to begin this school year! We are welcoming back returning students as well as new students to our classroom! I’m Ms. Karen and I am so grateful to be teaching your children. Effective teaching requires teachers to be a team with families to provide the best support and care for students. I am looking forward to getting to know you and to work with you!
You are invited to our Sneak A Peek Back to School event on Friday, August 9th from 3-6pm. On the half hour, beginning at 3:00pm, then again at 3:30pm, 4:00pm, 4:30pm, 5pm, and 5:30pm – each teacher and assistant will greet families, give an overview of the classroom and expectations. There will also be time for families to ask questions and meet each other.
Ms. Lana and Ms. René will be in the commons area for a brief presentation at 4pm and again at 5:30pm.
There is no RSVP; just show up at a time that is most convenient for you. With several time slots, families with multiple children attending MMA have time to visit all their teachers. Please be on time and honor the half hour time frames to allow everyone an opportunity to visit.
Students in 1st through 9th grade begin school on Monday, August 12th. Early childhood, including kindergarten, students begin one week later on Monday, August 19th. The school calendar can be accessed here.
The front doors open to students at 8:15am and students are expected to be in class and ready to learn by 8:30am. Junior high students should enter through the double doors of the addition. This door will lock promptly at 8:30am, which means any student entering the building after that time will need to enter through the main building and be marked as tardy in the front office.
If you have any questions, please contact me!
Thanks!
Ms. Karen
