Parent Orientation will be Thursday, September 4th from 6:30-7:30. You may have other students in the school, so, come anytime in this hour to meet Ms. Kylee and I.

During this time they will have Academic West available to get your background check and fingerprinting. This would allow you to be a certified driver for field trips. If you are interested, please do this to help our class with transportation.

Below is a link to help with snack for the classroom. We have snack available during morning work cycle. Please sign up HERE!

I’m also looking for a room mother. The room mother will help with activities, planning and emailing parents when looking for volunteers. It’s an easy job. If you are interested being a room mother, email me at hgladwell@mariamontessoriacademy.org

Thank you!

In an effort to add to our classroom library this year we are asking for a donation of 2-3 children’s books (new or used) from each student. The books can be fiction or non-fiction. You can find inexpensive books at the D.I. or other thrift stores. This is optional, but I think it will greatly enhance the literary environment of our class.
