Nuts & Bolts
Week of November 6, 2017
Professional Learning This Week
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. Below you will find the agenda for today's staff meeting. Please bring your computers!! This Friday Kacee will dazzle us from 1:30-4pm with professional learning on the topic of Mathematical Practices.
Music is Back!
Music classes will begin again starting tomorrow, Tuesday, November 7th. Teachers should follow their specials schedule. Ms. Clarissa will meet you all in the library. Please remember that assistants should accompany classes to music.
Counseling Corner
If you have a student that you feel could benefit from a meeting with Andrea, please complete the referral form reviewed in our last staff meeting and place the form in Andrea's mailbox. There are copies in the work room. Andrea works with all 650 of our students and is new to our building. Filling out a form ensures everyone's needs are met and follow-through can happen appropriately. Remember, if there is a student in crisis who needs immediate attention, please contact the office who will radio Andrea.
If you haven't noticed, Andrea and Nicoletta switched spaces. Thank you to the Junior High students who assisted in moving their items.
Health Inspection Coming Soon!
The health inspector will visit MMA on November 15th. In the morning before school begins on the 15th, wipe down all kitchen areas and make sure they are super clean. Check all refrigerators and freezers for thermometers and let the Office know ASAP if you need a thermometer. Ensure that all chemicals bottles are labeled, even if they only contain water. Hold off on giving students any snack until after the inspector has left the building.
Health inspections are public record and anyone can see our report. It is important that we shine in this area. Thank you all in advance for your efforts!
Groundbreaking for the Jr. High!
Save the date! There will be a groundbreaking ceremony on November 29th at 3:20pm to mark the official begin of construction on the new Junior High. Stay tuned for more details.
Invite your friends, class parents, and others who you think would serve as an excellent substitute at MMA. People can apply on Teachers-Teachers or contact the Office.
Help Keep Parents in the Know
MAPA would really appreciate it if you would post the document below on your class blogs somewhere - if you have not done so already. If you have, it would be awesome if you could gently mention that MAPA always needs help again. They are always looking for fresh volunteers.
Holiday Party - Save the Date
Mark your calendars and arrange for a sitter because you and a guest are invited to the MMA Holiday Party at Zucca’s on December 15th at 6:00 pm. Melanie will be emailing more details, including menu options.
