Nuts & Bolts
Week of Dec. 4, 2017
Special Snowflakes
My family and I were so excited to see the snow, mostly because it means ski season is that much closer. The snow, the fact that every snowflake is unique, and the fact that snow only forms under the most perfect weather conditions - reminds me of MMA and each of you - and not just because you're all special snowflakes ;-). MMA would not be the beautiful, loving, and supportive school it is without each of your contributions. Thank you for being here; thank you for choosing Montessori, and thank you for loving our students and each other.
Below you will find the agendas for today's staff meeting and professional learning on Friday.
Outdoor Recess Today (and maybe tomorrow)!!
South Side Doors
Evacuation Plan Changing
Review the updated procedures with your class as we have a fire drill scheduled for next week on December 14th. Be sure to put the updated procedures in your sub folders.
Groundbreaking Success!
Staff Tardy Procedures
Parent Surveys-Keep it Going
Please take 15 minutes to complete the AdvancED Parent Survey. We value your opinion and incorporating parent feedback is important for our school growth. Plus, we are required to analyze data from this survey to maintain our accreditation. Thank you for your time and effort!
Unaccompanied Students Reminder
Students are not allowed in the equipment shed. Please do not tell students the code for the shed lock - even staff children. We have had vandalism recently in/near the PE shed.
Staff Secret Santa
- Write your name on a sticky and put it in the bowl in the workroom - no later than 9am Wednesday, December 6th.
- After 12noon on December 6th, pick your person's name from the bowl. Shhh, it's a secret.
- Give a small gift (within $1-3) to your person Monday through Wednesday (Dec. 11, 12, 13).
- On Thursday, December 14th, present your person with a 4th gift and reveal yourself. Thursday's gift should be under $10.
Happy giving!!
