arbcombo -- Woodsmoke Reduction Program

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has released Draft
Program Guidelines and the associated Quantification Methodology
for the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) Woodsmoke Reduction
Program for public comment. CARB is seeking public comment by
August 21, 2017.


To obtain a copy of the draft guidelines and quantification
methodology, please visit
https://www.arb.ca.gov/planning/sip/woodsmoke/reduction_program.htm



The Woodsmoke Reduction Program will offer financial incentives
for homeowners to replace older, high-polluting wood burning
devices with newer, cleaner burning units. Replacing these
high-polluting, inefficient devices will significantly reduce
emissions of greenhouse gas emissions, particulate matter, black
carbon, and other air pollutants. This program is part of
California Climate Investments, a Statewide program that puts
billions of cap-and-trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas
emissions, strengthening the economy and improving public health
and the environment—particularly in disadvantaged communities.
CARB is accepting public comments on the Program Guidelines via
WoodsmokeReduction@arb.ca.gov


CARB has developed a Draft Woodsmoke Reduction Program Greenhouse
Gas (GHG) Quantification Methodology and Calculator Tool to
estimate emission reduction of Woodsmoke Reduction Program
projects. The draft documents are available at:
https://www.arb.ca.gov/cci-quantification. CARB is accepting
public comments on the GHG Quantification Methodology and
Calculator Tool via GGRFProgram@arb.ca.gov


The 2016/2017 GGRF appropriation committed $5,000,000 for this
program. The program will be administered by CARB and
implemented by the California Air Pollution Control Officers
Association (CAPCOA) in coordination with local air pollution
control districts or air quality management districts. California
residents using uncertified wood stoves or inserts as their
primary heat source will be eligible for incentives towards the
purchase and installation of qualifying devices.

Welcome Back 2017-2018!

Greetings Falcon Families!

The entire staff is here getting ready to greet your son or daughter for the first day on school on Monday. We are so excited for what will be an exceptional year!

PRIDE:

Thank you to all of the families who attended Falcon Days (registration). Our goal is for all of our students to feel comfortable and ready to go on the very first day of school!  We are PROUD of the work we have done preparing for your child and the new school year!

RESPECT:

The focus this week is CONNECTIONS! We want to establish positive relationships with each of our students and their families. We know your child will be making lots of new connections this week. Remind your child to branch out, make new friends and BE KIND to everyone they meet!

RESPONSIBILITY:

During first period, our students will learn about our school's expectations. Please make sure that you and your child have read the student handbook. This will ensure a clear understanding of the expectations and rules we have in place at MMS. In addition, they will also learn about opportunities available to them to get involved on campus. We want to make sure that our students know what they need to do to be successful both inside and out of the classroom.

General Information:

When possible, we would encourage parents to send their child to school on the bus. Our drivers are the best in the state! If you are going to bring your child to school, please do not drop him or her off prior to 8:15. Staff are either in meetings or preparing their room for the day, therefore we do not have comprehensive supervision available prior to that time.

Your child will be receiving their Chrome Book on Aug 14^th or 15^th.  This is, of course, a wonderful tool and resource for your child.  We would like to stress the importance of your child using their Chrome Book and not relying on another personal devise to use at school.  If your child has a cell phone, please encourage them to leave it in their backpack throughout the school day.

In order to maintain a school environment free from unnecessary distractions, student will not be able to wear hats, beanies, or bandannas that cover the entire head to school.  If the PE teacher has outdoor activities planned for a warm day, students will be able to wear a hat as part of their PE uniform if they wish.

The Marana Unified School District shares information with our families regarding opportunities, events, and activities in the community.  Select the link below to view all approved community flyers: https://www.maranausd.org/flyers

COUNSELOR'S CORNER:

Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year. Our Counseling Department is excited to get to know your students. We are committed to helping your students achieve great success here at Marana Middle School. Throughout the year school our Counseling Department will provide information and/or lessons on the following: Bullying Prevention, Suicide Prevention, Cyber Safety, and Career Lessons. We also offer counseling groups throughout the school year; stay tuned for more information. Our counselors are assigned to the following teams:

Chupacabra (7th) & Scorpion (8th) - Misty Davis

Wildfire (7th) & Wildcat (8th) -  Krista Galindo

Gila Monster (7th), Thunder (7th/8th) & Chili Pepper (8th) - Meghan Molden

Please feel free to contact our counseling department at 682-4715 with any questions regarding ParentVue, your child's 504, counseling groups or any ongoing student conflicts. Mrs. Carol Bennett, our counseling secretary, will be happy to help. We look forward to working with you this school year!

Falcon Athletics:

We are super excited about launching our first quarter sports season.  To start our season with a bang, we will be hosting our 1st Pep Assembly after school on Monday, August 7th.  All football, boys' volleyball, softball players and cross country runners are to report directly to the auditorium after dismissal.  Students do not need to dress for tryouts on Monday or bring their sports gear. Activity buses will leave MMS at 5:30 pm, and we will help your students get on the correct activity bus.

We are structuring the assembly in a way to not only explain how Falcons Win and Lose with Class, but to also to build school spirit and create some added energy with a celebration type atmosphere.  Falcon Pride is respected throughout the entire Northwest League, and that culture is fostered and cultivated from day one.  We are fully committed to providing your students with a positive athletic experience regardless of their experience or talent level.  We pride ourselves in providing teams where everyone can feel a part of.  #Falcon Rising!  Can you feel it?  Please contact 682-4724 with any questions. 

Remember to always check our website for all of the most-timely information about upcoming events and activities. 

Have a wonderful weekend and please contact us with any questions you may have.

Happy School Year 2017-2018

Go FALCONS!

Ms. Dickson – Principal

arbcombo -- Draft Freight Hub Surveys for Seaports and Rail Yards Released for Public Comment

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) staff has released the
following three Draft Freight Hub Surveys for public comment:
Seaports, Class I Rail Yards, and Class III Rail Yards.

The Draft Freight Hub Surveys for Seaports and Rail Yards are the
most recent in a series of surveys that will be released by CARB
this year. Each of the surveys will undergo a public comment
period before being finalized and distributed. The types of
facilities being surveyed are: truck stops, seaports, rail yards,
warehouses, and distribution centers. The purpose of this effort
is to collect specific facility and equipment information from
California based freight hubs. The data gathered will help CARB
staff better understand the activity that occurs at freight hubs
in California, assess the potential for emission reductions,
inform potential strategies for reducing those emissions, and
direct funding assistance efforts.

Please see the Program website at
https://www.arb.ca.gov/gmp/sfti/sfdatacollect.htm to get more
information, submit comments, and view the surveys as they become
available.

If you have any questions regarding the draft freight hub
surveys, please contact Ugo Eke, Air Resources Engineer, at (916)
322-7298 or via email at ugonna.eke@arb.ca.gov
