Parents,
As we prepare to head back to school I'd like to point out a few important bits of information. Please read through this entire post!
Our special on Tuesday is music. On Tuesday I will also be sending home a document (actually, I'll be linking it here) detailing the student's daily schedule. They have physical wellness on Thursday so gym shoes need to be school and in lockers by then! (Please see me if you need assistance purchasing gym shoes or other back-to-school items.)
The student's back-to-school packets from the office contain several important documents. Please remember that many of these are required by state law so do Mrs. Coney a favor and return them as soon as possible. It's something you can take off YOUR checklist and she won't be calling you over the next few months! :)
The Waukazoo PTA schedule was in your child's back-to-school packet. We need Montessori parents to add their voices to PTA! Please consider being part of the PTA. The Waukazoo PTA is a vibrant organization that works hard to support Waukazoo and its students.
The PTA is once again sponsoring a Fun Run/Walk Event. This will kick-off almost immediately this fall. The date of the Fun Run is September 30. This is the only PTA fundraiser in the school and the funds raised cover many Waukazoo opportunities, including but not limited to: Brainstormers, the Publishing Center, Discovery Days, Patriot's Day, the Tulip Time parade, playground equipment, field trips, teacher's supply budgets, and the Montessori 5th grade year-end dinner.
Waukazoo's morning and afternoon procedures have not changed since last year. But I am once again appealing to parents to take advantage of the school bus system if possible. The parking lots at school are small and easily overwhelmed at the end of the day. If your child lives along a bus route please have him or her ride the bus if at all possible. Thanks!

Parent Night: The Upper Montessori parent night is scheduled for Thursday, September 15 at 6:30 p.m. Parent night is an opportunity for new parents to get to know our classroom and our curriculum. (Returning parents are encouraged to attend our new parent session.) Please make every effort to attend this classroom and curriculum informational meeting; if you find that this night does not work with your schedule please let me know and we will attempt to schedule an alternate before or after-school meeting.
Finally, yes I have redesigned the blog. During a movie on Friday night I sat down and changed a few things. I have also added a Voki. This was fun! Students are able to make their own by visiting the site, www.voki.com. For some reason she pronounces my name correctly on the Voki site but when linked to the blog she gets it wrong! Please be sure to sign up for email updates, this is the easiest way for you to get classroom news and updates.
I'm looking forward to Tuesday, I will be meeting our class at the playground door at the end of the 4th and 5th grade hallway!
Enjoy the rest of your Labor Day weekend.
Mrs. Perrien
