Dear Parents,

Initially we indicated that my last day would be later in January, but if your replacement is so on top of things that you frequently have nothing to do in the afternoons, you reassess! My last day with Montessori will be at the end of December. Ms. Kristi will be the official Director when you return from winter break.

Over the last few years, knowing this time was coming, Ms. Kristi has worked to become the person you are connected with administratively. I have every confidence she will continue to do an outstanding job for you and your children.

Montessori has been a huge part of my life these past 24 years. It has also changed my way of thinking about parenting, child development and education. I am passionate about this Montessori school and staff. In my mind there is no better start for a child than here. I believe in it so much, you may still see me when we send our granddaughter here next year.

So, cheers to the New Year, New Start!

Diane

Covid Reminder – If someone in your child’s household is waiting on a Covid test, do not send your child to school until you receive the results. Remember, children are less likely to show symptoms, but can still be contagious. We have a number of staff with underlying health concerns and we want everyone to feel safe. Covid is now ramping up in our area, it’s really important to minimize possible exposure.

Policy Change: With parents not being able to be in the building to supervise the transfer of items from one household to another (clothes, birthday gifts, etc.), it’s becoming increasingly more difficult to get things transferred from one house to another. In addition, with the onset of the colder weather, the extra bags/packages are not fitting on hooks and coats, extra masks and clothes are ending up on the floor.

Moving forward we would like parents to make arrangements for transfers to happen outside of the school.

Extra Clothes – If you are sending fall/winter extra clothes to replace your child’s summer clothes, please send an email to your child’s teacher so we know to look for the clothes.
