PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES

Parent-Teacher Conferences will be on March 10, 11 and 12.

Online access to schedule conferences is open from Feb. 24th through March 6th.

How to schedule your child(ren)’s conference:

1. Go to this link beginning February 24th: https://www.canyoncreeksoftware.com/scheduler/ca/mariamontessori/index.cfm

2. “Maria Montessori Charter Academy” and press “Go”

3. There will be a prompt for a school password; the password is: mmca

4. The next screen will ask you to “enter the student’s ID” - we are NOT using student ID’s. Instead, press the “LOOKUP STUDENT ID” button.

5. After pressing the “look up student ID” button, you will be prompted to enter your child’s first name, last name, and birthdate and then press “LOOKUP”.

6. After your child has been identified, the program will ask you to do two things:

a. Select the classroom you want to schedule the conference for (note: ALL of our classrooms are listed by color names, not teacher names); and

b. If you have multiple children that you want to schedule a conference for, it will give you the opportunity to look up the next child (this will give you the opportunity to see multiple classroom conference schedules listed next to each other, making it convenient for your scheduling)

7. The program will take you through a couple of calendar screens, and your conference will be scheduled.

Please call the office if you have any questions or need assistance.

MMCA Student Leadership - Spiritwear and ‘Navy Fridays’ - 1st Round of Orders Closes Tomorrow!

Our MMCA Leadership students are starting a new tradition called ‘Navy Friday’ where we wear a navy shirt on selected Fridays to promote school spirit. The Leadership team has designed a t-shirt for students, staff, volunteers (really anyone that wants to wear one!) to wear on these Fridays. Online orders are being accepted now on our website. We will collect orders for our first round of deliveries up until TOMORROW, February 21st. The cost of the Leadership t-shirt is $14. The first ‘Navy Friday’ will be after we have delivered our first round of spiritwear t-shirts (date TBD).
