Great Job Everyone – Children and Adults! We’ve had a successful first day of school! A special shout out to the PTO board members who are helping out with School Day drop offs.

Thank you!

Taking pictures with our “First Day of School” sign – If you’d like to take a picture of your child with our sign in the front lawn, please do so after 3:00 PM (after our 2:45 car line has ended).

First Day Paperwork – went home today and should be returned to school by Friday, August 18thWe need these forms filled out to update a variety of lists (allergy, student directory, etc.).

The August 25th PTO Family Picnic – A link to sign up for a dish to share with others at the picnic will be posted by the end of the week. Hog dogs (beef and vegetarian) buns, and condiments are provided.

EZ School lunch reminder – On the 15th of every month, you can sign up for the upcoming months lunches. Don’t forget to sign your child up for lunch on September 1st which was on the August Menu.

Sunscreen and/or Bug Spray should already be applied to your child before dropping off in the morning.

If sunscreen was sent in your child’s bag this morning without a permission note, please send an email to Kristi at kgaultmontessori@gmail.com. 

Sunscreens, lotions, creams, over the counter medicine, chap stick, prescription medicine –

The protocol will be to send us an email before you drop your child off in the AM. Then, hand the item to the staff person upon dropping off. Sarah and I typically read our email before 8:20 drop off or immediately after.

The email needs to tell us:

·       Name of the item

·       How much to use

·       What time to give or apply

·       If it needs to return home each day (i.e.) prescription medications

For example: Sunscreen, apply to face/arms/legs before going outside. Or, chapstick, use as needed.

Send your email to: kgaultmontessori@gmail.comsarahspelbring@gmail.com and the child’s teacher. This will ensure the item(s) is retrieved ASAP.

Sending things to school via Montessori bag – If you are sending an above-mentioned item in the Montessori bag, please let us know via email.  We do not regularly check the children’s bags.
