DESCRIPTION:We cl
ose the school to observe the Labor Day holiday. There is no school and no
daycare available today.
\n
As a holiday treat
for your children we have invited “Puppets Please Marionettes” to perform
at our school.
\n
These shows have been a tradition at ou
r school since 1997 and are a fantastic hit\, with lots of audience partic
ipation and are perfectly geared to our age group.
\n
The school is closed to observe the
Christmas holiday.
\n
There will be no school and no dayca
re available in observance of the New Year’s Holiday.
\n
Welcome back to school and happy new
year!
\n
Kindergarten and elementary students
receive a detailed written mid-year progress report.
\n
All students
receive a written school-year progress report in May (preschool\, kinderg
arten and elementary).
\n
Conferences are available for parents of pr
eschool\, kindergarten and elementary students.
\n
Re-registration is not automatic. We
ask parents to confirm their intentions for the next school year by submi
tting a re-enrollment form.
\n
Re-enrollment forms received after the
deadline will be processed in the order they are received.
\n
Detailed school reports are prepared
for each student and provided to parents prior to end of the school year
parent-teacher conferences.
\n
When evaluating students we are more i
nterested in following their individual progress and keeping track of thei
r capabilities than comparing them with their peers. So that a child’s pro
gress may be followed throughout their three-year primary cycle\, the same
evaluation format is used from preschool right through kindergarten. Pare
nts should keep in mind that in many areas children cannot be expected to
have reached proficiency until their kindergarten year. Teachers keep dail
y records of everything your child does at school and can give you informa
tion about any aspect of your child’s work should you require more details
.
\n
For elementary students a comprehensive elementary focused repor
t format is utilized to track progress throughout the elementary cycle.
\n
Our summer school program is offered
from mid-June and ending in late August. We offer Montessori classes an
d Discovery camps in two week sessions\, morning and/or afternoon.
\n
\n
The 2018-2019 school year begins! We
lcome new students and welcome back returning students!
\n
Individual photos are taken of each
child to be included in the school yearbook. Prints of these photos are av
ailable for purchase.
\n
More information and an order form is provid
ed to families in advance of the date.
\n
There is a makeup individua
l portrait day in January.
\n
Classroom Group Photos will be taken in
March.
\n
If your child missed having his or h
er photo taken for the yearbook in October\, or is new to the school\, thi
s is the opportunity to have a picture taken.
\n
Prints of these phot
os are available for purchase. More information will be provided closer to
the date.
\n
Group photos of your child’s class w
ill be taken (Schedule TBD).
\n
Each Montessori class will have a gro
up photo taken of both the morning and afternoon groups. Elementary classe

ears. Montessori primary education is built on a three-year cycle. Childre

allows for parents to voice any questions not covered. Montessori teacher
