MMA Montessori Moments
August 24-28
Thank you
Because They Matter
This was a wonderful week of school. It was so exciting to see our students, learn their new smiles from their eyes and most of all see and hear the excitement of learning. We want you to know how important your child's health and safety are with MMA family. The following is in a NUTSHELL what we are doing to keep our school healthy- because your CHILD is important, we are important, learning is important.
COVID Protocols to maintain COVID health and Safety:
- 26 sanitizing stations- one at each exit/ entrance door, others spread in between these doors
- Sanitizing station at each entrance of classroom
- Temperature checks 3 times daily (at minimum and tracking)
- Bathrooms are limited to one person at a time
- Bathroom waiting areas are 6 feet apart
- Lockers are not being utilized
- We've modified entry and exit of classrooms before and after school to be at the classroom or closest door to the classroom for those without an outside door.
- 'For students who come to school without a mask- we have masks to check out.
- Every visitor is temperature checked and mask required at the front foyer.
- Limited visitors in the building- must schedule an appointment.
- Kinder/ Elementary Classroom instruction and work cycle are happening within the classrooms- not within the kivas or halls.
- Classrooms are being sanitized 4x daily by teachers
- Janitorial staff is cleaning daily and sanitizing
Carpool Modifications
Thank you for diligently following our new carpool routine. We have made a few modifications that will begin this week.
DROP OFF and PICK UP UPDATE:
There will be a change to drop off and pick up for JH students and families who only have students with teachers in the front of the building: Kinder, Ms. Shauna, Ms. Holly, Ms. Joules, Ms. Shanan and Ms. Angela.
These parents will be able to come into the parking lot to drop/ pick up their child, rather than going around the carpool line.
We are hoping that this will eliminate some unnecessary congestion and frustrations.
PARKING and WALKING is always an option
A reminder that if you would like to park your car, you are welcome to walk your child over to their class and/ or pick them up at their designated space.

Distant Learner Planners
Planners are a big part of Montessori education to help with executive function skills. We ask as a Montessori school that the planners continue to be used at home to help with planning instruction, projects, google classroom time and more.
The planners are organized by teacher and students names are written with sharpie on the front. Thank you. If you have any questions please contact Ms. Nicoletta at NHouseholder@mariamontessoriacademy.org
COVID FAQ Sheet and Q/A
The pandemic and the opening of schools nationwide is such a huge, and constantly changing beast!
