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 in your child’s bag today and should be returned to school by Friday, August 16th. We need these forms filled out to update a variety of lists (allergy, student directory, etc.).
The August 23rd PTO Family Picnic – Please use the emailed Notes Home link to sign up for a dish to share with others at the picnic.
Hot dogs (beef and vegetarian), buns and condiments are provided.
You should bring your own:
• Drinks
• Bug spray
• Chairs or blankets for sitting
EZ School lunch reminder – On the 15th of every month, you can sign up for the upcoming months lunches. If your child brings a lunchbox, the “lunchbox” option needs to be selected.
8:20 Car Line – All children should exit the car from the line to get into the school. The only exception would be if your child is having a hard time separating in the morning. Then you should drive past the orange cone to park and help them out of the car.
Car Line Etiquette –
• Please remember to stay in your car when dropping & picking up your child.
• Please be patient while staff members are helping children exit & enter their car.
• Please drive slowly & responsibly when exiting the car line.
• Driving carefully around cars waiting for a child is permitted.
• Please don’t use the gravel area by the storage units to turn around.
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.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 above-mentioned item in the Montessori bag, please let us know via email. We do not regularly check the children’s bags.
