Grand Lunch
2018-09-28 10:45 - 13:45 (America/Los_Angeles)
The Grand Lunch is a wonderful way for students to share lunch and books with a “grand person.” Students can invite a special grandparent, relative, or other “grand” persons to come to Mariemont. Join them for lunch, then shop together at the Book Fair.
Grand persons should plan to arrive at least 15-20 minutes. Head directly to the student’s classroom and wait outside the door quietly. No need to sign in.
Here is the schedule:

PM Kinder and SDC: 10:45 AM – 11:25 AM
AM Kinder, 1st, and 2nd Grade: 11:40 AM – 12:20 PM
3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade, Friday: 12:20 PM – 1:05 PM

Parent Info Night #1 - Test Results, MAP Testing
2018-09-18 19:00 - 20:00
“Parent Info Nights” is a brand new evening program specifically for you! Based on your feedback and conversations with teachers and staff, we recognized a need to have some informal discussions about relevant topics during the school year. These info nights will be hosted by Principal Beth Wahl as well as a few teachers who have expertise on the given topic.
The format will be causal and will only be an hour, 7:00 – 8:00 pm.
While PTA will be providing refreshments for the evening, this is not a PTA meeting. Our goal is not to discuss PTA business.
September 18th Topics:

Recent Standardized Test Results (CAASPP)
MAP Testing

If you are a 4th or 5th grade parent, you probably received your child’s CAASPP results from last spring in the mail. If you have questions about these results, we hope you can join us on the 18th.
