Hello Faith North Community,
Today is the 142nd birthday of Dr. Maria Montessori. If you have the opportunity check out the Google landing page for some great articles and websites on Maria and many other famous Montessorians.
We had a great turn out on Wednesday evening for our parent education evening, A Montessori Continimum. The primary staff previewed the curriculum for the child of 3-6 while the elementary staff provided lessons in the areas of history and the great lessons, language and research and mathematics. Our next education opportunity, Show Me Night will be held January 30th.
Friday the 7th of September we will have our first community get together at "The Back to School Bash". This potluck event begins at 6:00 on the main campus. Come meet new friend and re-acquaint with old ones. Activities are also planned for the evening.

What a great first week it has been. The students returned earger to work and see one another. We are looking forward to a fine year.
This week, Superintendent of Public Instruction John Huppenthal announced the release of Arizona's A-F letter grades for all district and charter schools in the state. In accordance with ARS 15-241 the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) is charged with attributing letter grades to every district and charter school in the state. These letter grades are based on the weighting of student performance on the AIMS tests and student academic growth from year to year, along with additional points awarded for high English Language Learner reclassifications. Every school and district receives a report card with a grade that reflects their annual academic profile.
We are pleased and proud to announce that Faith North received an A rating. This is a reflection of great parenting, great teaching, great learning and a very supportive community! To view the A-F Letter Grades visit http://www.azed.gov/research-evaluation/a-f-accountability/.
