Dear Seventh & Eighth Graders,

I am so excited to be the official 7th and 8th grade homeroom teacher at Mother Lode Adventist Junior Academy! This means that they will start and end the day with me and I will be the primary organizer/record keeper/nurturer.  I know it will be an amazing year and I am looking forward to seeing you all again and meeting any new students.

7th and 8th grade is a really important time in a student’s life.  There are so many feelings and changes during those years! I think keeping open communication with everyone can really help everyone feel secure and valued.

I will be accessible in a variety of formats. You can email at mtrauthwein@mlaja-k10.org or melodytrauthwein@gmail.com.  You are welcome to text or call at (209) 532-2855 Ext. 381.  I can also be reached through the email function of Renweb.  I also plan to utilize the Google Suite for Education with apps such as Google Classroom, Google Sites, etc.

Please know that your input is highly valued. You know your child better than anyone and we are a team.

I wish you a wonderful rest of your summer and I look forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks.

Sincerely,

Melody Trauthwein
