Our community has grown and connected with one another throughout the school year. We have said goodbye to our graduating 9th grade students. We have said goodbye to our temporary home, the portables. And, we have said goodbye for the summer.

**Restoration is a BIG part of the Montessori philosophy. It’s what supports the idea that this is the “children’s school”. This year, it is especially important that our students help by cleaning, packing and moving into the new building. It will support their ownership of the school building and continue to help build our unique and incredible community. Additionally providing students with work that helps them feel valued is essential for the adolescent body and mind. Please do not allow your student to talk you out of making them come on these days. 🙂

CELL PHONE POLICY

 

Parents and Students,

 

Please remember that the school’s personal phone policy does NOT allow students to text or receive calls during the school day. If students are found using their phones for these purposes their phones will be taken away and a guardian will need to pick it up from the front office.

 

Parents, you can help us by making sure that you are not answering texts or phone calls from your students cell phone between 8:30 and 3:00. All contact must be made via the school office or classroom phones.

 

Thank you for your support.
