I hope you had a chance to take advantage of the opportunity to meet the teachers at the open house.
If not you can always email them to ask any questions that you may have. You can usually find their email addresses on their home page on the Mayo website under Academics-- Department--Teachers name. FYI the school district is in the process of switching the format of the website so the teachers have not been able to update their sites since the middle of the summer, but you can access any information that was put in before then. The new system is scheduled to start on October 1st.
Newsletter
The September newsletter is available on the website under Quick Links--Parent Tab. This is put out monthly and contains a lot of useful information on what is happening at the school. You will usually receive a Skyward notice when the new issue has been posted.
PTSA
Another good resources to learn about what is happening at the school and to meet other parents is to attend the PTSA meetings.The principal Tom Olson usually attends and provides updates and is available to answer questions.You do not need to be a member to attend the meetings. The meetings are usually held the 3rd Monday at 6pm in the conference room in the main office every other month.
(this month it is the 4th Monday due to the Open House) On the alternating months PTSA sponsors a Brown Bag Lunch meeting usually on the 2nd Thursday at 11:30am. This meeting is usually a discussion with the principal about what is current at the school.
Winter Sports
Time to start thinking about whether your child would like to be involved in a winter sport?
Registration opens online on October 1st and goes through October 31st.
The season runs from approximately October 27th-March15th depending on the sport, be sure to inquire about your particular sport on <www.mayospartans.org> to find out exact starting dates. You need to be registered a least one week prior to the start date.
Choices for girls include: basketball, hockey, adaptive floor hockey, alpine skiing, gymnastics, cheer and dance line.
Choices for boys include: basketball, hockey, adaptive floor hockey, swimming/diving, wrestling and alpine skiing.
Nordic skiing registration will be separate since it is an "All City" sport and registration will be closer to November.
