Tomorrow, September 4th – PTO Event: Welcome to your child’s class!
- 5:30- Babysitting begins for Montessori children and their siblings. If all spots are filled, please contact Kristi asap.
- The number of children under three years old is full.
- Goldfish and a cheese stick will be served.
- 5:45-6:30 Meeting: Welcome comments from PTO and then meet in classrooms with your child’s teacher.
International Day of Peace is Sunday, September 21st – We will be observing it Friday, September 19th. In previous years, we have participated in the world-wide continuous singing of the peace song.
- The children’s performance will start at 11:00 AM.
- We’ll be singing as a school in our back field for 10-15 minutes.
- Parents are welcome to come and watch outside of the dining room door (back patio area).
- Parents of Half-Day students need to let the office know if they want to pick their child up early.
There will not be a time for children and parents to meet before, during or after the singing. If you are coming that morning, please let your child know that you will be there to watch, but will not be picking up at that time. There have been a few tears in the past due to this possible misunderstanding.
PTO will be hosting a Meet & Greet Coffee and Donuts from 10:00-11:00 in the Multipurpose Room.
A few reminders –
EZ School Lunch Reminder – On the 15th of every month, you can sign up for the upcoming months lunches. Please remember to:
- Sign up for September’s lunches.
- Select the “lunchbox” option on EZSchool if your child brings a lunchbox.
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 after lunch and PM Care. Or, chapstick- use as needed.
Send your email to: kgaultmontessori@gmail.com, sarahspelbring@gmail.com and the child’s teacher. This will ensure the item(s) are retrieved ASAP.
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.
PM Care Pickups –
- Enter through the office door.
- Office staff will help you locate your child.
- When you arrive to the classroom, it is time for your child to clean up and go home.
- Any unfinished projects can be completed the next school day.
- Gather your child’s bag, lunchbox and/or nap items and exit the school through the office door.
- Lingering in classrooms is not permitted.
