Dear Parents and students,
Welcome back! We are glad to have you all with us and look
forward to another awesome year here at MAU. We are excited for what this
school year will bring. We have finally reopened our Elementary program and
look forward to what the future holds for our school.. We have spent the past
week refreshing our skills and planning to make this our best school year to
date. I was so happy to see all the excited faces walk in this morning and have
no doubt everybody is having a wonderful day. We are so grateful to have such a
wonderful school community.
While on in-service break, we started the next phase in our
playground renovation. We have moved the Infant and Toddler Community
playground so that it is adjacent to the back entrance of their room. This
project involved moving the fence, for which we received an abundance of parent
volunteers. Thank you! However, this means the Children’s House has lost some
of the grass area we installed last school year. We will be expecting delivery
of another shipment of grass to add to our playground this week. As part of our
in-service, the teachers came up with a complete plan for our playground. We
will be looking for an artist to draw out our idea and then we can work toward
the goal of raising the funds necessary to make it happen. We appreciate all
the fundraising you do to help us improve our environments. This has allowed us
to meet our expenses while not having to raise tuition.
As for me, I will spend the majority of the day at the
Alpine Campus before checking in at the end of the day at the Foothill Campus.
From time to time, Kris and I will switch so that I can observe our programs
and keep in contact with parents, students and staff. This is only possible
because I have found the teacher we were looking for. Ms. Elizabeth will be
joining us this year to teach our Lower Elementary program. We will be featuring a short biography about
her in our September newsletter so that you can get to know her.
Parents please remember the following:
Label everything you bring in for
your child.
Bring 4 food groups in your child’s
lunch each day along with 100% juice, milk or water. We cannot heat food in the
Children’s House program. If you need suggestions on what to pack or what to
send it in to keep it cool or warm please consult your child’s teacher.
Elementary entrees should be fully cooked, only needing to be warmed by your
child during lunch.
Please make sure to call the office
every day your child will be absent from school.
