The Mata Memo
August 24, 2020
Principal's Message
Dear Mata families,
It’s a new beginning, a fresh, bright year. So open your mind, and push out the fear. This is an exciting week as our teachers return to begin our preparation for 2020-21 school adventure. Let’s remember that change can be hard, but it can create something beautiful.
We hope you will join us this Thursday via Zoom for Mata Montesssori's Community Talk. We will share information with you about the instructional model for distance learning, technology pickup, and virtual Meet the Teacher events. See the link below to submit your questions in advance.
To continue to have the most up-to-date information, it is essential that you keep your email address current in Powerschool. The School Messenger system utilizes the email address from the primary account in Parent Portal.
Our faculty and staff are busy preparing to guide your children to be the best that they can be. We are starting the year as confident and courageous Eagles and can't wait to watch our students Soar!

New Students: We are thrilled to have your child join Eduardo Mata Montessori for the 2020-2021 school year! Enrollment for new students will be held 100% online. You may have seen or received information related to creating a Parent Portal or PowerSchool account for enrollment purposes. As the students are not currently active in our system, this portal will not be available to you just yet. Instead, we do have an external site available for all incoming new students. Please click the Registration link to the right to get started!
Families will be notified who their child's teacher is the week before school starts. Mrs. Leija, our Data Controller, or Ms. Sosa, our new Registrar will be reaching out to families that show registration files as incomplete. Mrs. Leija and Ms. Sosa are working diligently to respond to all emails and phone calls as soon as possible. If you are in need of assistance, please reach out by calling the main number, 972-749-7500.
