Family Newsletter October 18, 2024
Dear Families, Fall is in the air! Thank you again for supporting our teachers during parent-teacher conference dinners! We loved the yummy pastas and taco fixings! This week, I watched an 8th grade class engage in a socratic seminar about their novel. I observed teachers give lessons on equivalent fractions and I enjoyed watching students guide their own learning through the use of their planners and the Montessori materials. We hosted the UWRF (University of Wisconsin at River Falls) Montessori training with Ms. Nancy Lindeman and Ms. Lois Bobo and our girls won their soccer game again! Incredible learning is happening schoolwide! Thank you for being part of it! Our student’s safety is our primary concern. MMA was one of the first schools in the area to implement a secure front entry after the Sandy Hook shooting in 2012. All of our classrooms have video surveillance and our exterior doors are open only by key card. We’ll also be installing ballistic film on all windows once we receive additional guidance and funding from the state. All visitors are required to sign in with their drivers license and obtain a photo badge. Our relationship with the North Ogden Police department is strong and they occasionally do walkthroughs in the building. We are committed to ensuring we have the most up-to-date training and resources. If you have any questions about our procedures, please reach out! USBE (Utah State Board of Education) has a wealth of resources for parents of students in Utah’s public schools. Please access the link below to learn more. https://schools.utah.gov/parent/ There are many wonderful events coming up and take a look at the awesome student work in this issue of the newsletter! As always, reach out with questions or comments! Thanks for being part of our community!
Much Love,

NOVEMBER PIZZA ORDER PROCEDURE
We are experiencing some difficulty with receiving payments without the order forms being completed. Please read the following carefully:
You must submit the Google Order Form to have your student on the list for pizza. Once you have submitted the form you should automatically receive a copy of your order form to your email as confirmation.
Square payments are not creating the order, they are a separate process.
Square payments must contain the student name so we can verify who the payment is for
The payment link will now be sent out via email only AFTER we have received your Google Order Form for pizza and put you on the pizza order list. Please allow time to complete this process…it may take us several days to process everyone's orders.
For October, we will give confirmations to your students' homeroom teacher to send home so you can be sure that we received your order or were able to match your payment with your student. If you thought you ordered and/or paid and do not get a confirmation from your student please email: FTA@mmautah.org and we will look into it.
November Pizza Google Order Forms must be submitted no later than October 25th to allow us time to process orders for November pizza.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we get the kinks worked out!!!
