A few reminders –
Arriving on time to school – Please arrive before 8:45
- Late arrivals are disruptive to your child and their classroom.
- All Preprimary classes are outside at 8:45, at different locations.
- The office staff is not always available to answer the front door when we are getting children, who arrive late, to their correct outdoor play area.
- If arriving after 8:45, children must be accompanied to the door by an adult until a staff member opens the front door.
Jackets, sweaters, etc. – It’s the time of year for colder weather in the morning, please send your child with a jacket/coat for outdoor playtime and remember to put your child’s name or initials inside to avoid any lost items. Thanks!
If your child has a fever, is vomiting and/or has diarrhea, they must stay home for 24 hours from their last symptom; even if this happened over the weekend.
Sending things to school via Montessori bag – If you are sending an item in the Montessori bag, please let us know via email. We do not regularly check the children’s bags.
