We are ready for a new school year to begin! We are looking forward to seeing all of our old friends and getting to know some new ones! There is so much to see and do in the Oak room and we are excited to get started!
Following area few highlights from our parent orientation:
We understand that saying goodbye to loved ones is one of the most challenging parts of your child’s day. We recommend a quick and upbeat “see you soon,” and a wave as you go. Prolonging the process is stressful (often times, more for the parent) and not a great way to start the day. If you are still nervous after you leave, give Brenda a call in awhile. She’ll be happy to assure you that your child is fine!
As many of you know, snack is available to the children throughout our morning work cycle. The children take turns bringing in a snack for the class on their assigned day. If you did not get a snack calendar at the parent orientation, there is one available on our website. The snack bag will be hanging in your child’s cubbie when it is their turn. Bringing a snack is always optional, so please just return the bag if you choose not to participate.
Lunch is not provided by the school. Children need to bring their own lunches and store them in their cubbies. If they have an item that needs to be kept cold, please include an ice pack in their lunch, as we do not have refrigerator space available for that purpose.
All children under 5 years of age are required to participate in rest time. They are provided with their own cot, sheet, blanket and pillow in their nap bag at school. There is no need to bring any of these things from home. If your child has a special item that they sleep with, they may bring it, but it needs to be small enough to fit into their bag.
Please make sure that your child has 2 changes of clothing to keep at school, including socks. We are known to get a bit wet or dirty when working outside!
The best way for you to truly understand what happens in our classroom is for you to come and observe or sign up to volunteer! Please just let Brenda know and she can help you schedule a convenient time.
We have a wonderful Facebook group that includes families and teachers. Please just search for Center Grove Montessori and request to be a part of this private group. I post pictures weekly and it’s a great way to get to know our other families. Please let me know if you do not want your child’s picture posted.
I am here as your partner in your child’s education. Please feel free to approach me with any concerns or questions you have about our class or your child in particular. I am available most days when our class dismisses at 3:00 pm. You may also email me at hollyj2005@gmail.com.
Again, I am really looking forward to sharing in your child’s experience at Center Grove Montessori.
It’s going to be a fun year!
Miss Holly
