Hello Parents and Guardians:
Welcome to a new school year! We have certainly been busy this week with adjusting to the new routines, programs and options that we have for our students. Faculty and staff have been preparing all summer long by planning and setting up our classrooms to be an outstanding learning environment for your children.
If you are new to our school community, on behalf of the MJT Family, I would like to welcome you to our school. You will receive this newsletter weekly that will be sent out electronically to the email that you have on file and then posted to our district Facebook page and our MJT Twitter account. For the latest, sign on to Twitter @MorconeMJT to follow us!
Feel free to reach out with any questions or comments. We look forward to serving your children and having a productive and fun school year.
Respectfully,
Paul

Curriculum: Reading and Math
We have a brand new English Language Arts and Mathematics curriculum this year to increase student learning in both subject areas. You will be hearing and observing these items coming home and referred to as our "Into Reading" and "Into Math" series. The staff has had professional learning with these materials and we are excited to begin engaging activities for students. Whether you have a child in kindergarten or the fifth grade, the same materials will be used for each grade level as they progress through their elementary experience in both buildings.
