Nuts & Bolts

Spirit Week
Last week was very busy at MMA with the ballet, guest speakers, Intersession, and parent visitors. Thank you for attending (and planning around) these events at MMA. Thank you for organizing enriching events for students. I am so happy that you have chosen MMA and our students are fortunate to have you.
This week is spirt week and we have done our best to make it as not-crazy as possible. It is important that we all have and hold the expectation that teaching and learning continues through spirit week. Keep in mind, we have shifted this Red Ribbon Week to also be spirit week and we will not have a spirit week at the end of the school year. We also purposefully combined it in to the week with Halloween.
Good luck this week and smile lots!

Staff Attendance
Employee agreements state that staff are expected to be absent no more than 10 times per school year. Those who are over or approaching this number should expect communication from Dana or myself regarding this matter.
Assistant Evaluations
Please find 15 minutes of time to sit, teacher and assistant, and complete this evaluation together. Please put a signed copy in my mailbox no later than Friday, November 8th. Teachers who share an assistant should have a discussion with all 3. In these cases, please summarize how the assistant will be splitting their time and efforts at the bottom of the document.
