It is important to make sure that their spare clothes are weather appropriate and that they have a set at school as we head into colder and often damp weather. When you get a moment, please have conversations with your student about their spare clothes and winter gear.

In the Spring, we will study climate change and oceanography. Soon we will dive into the study of Central and South America as we prepare for FAME.

The students have come back ready to set goals and accomplish them and so we have been very busy! We are currently working on wrapping up our study of the Fundamental Needs of Man throughout history. It is wonderful to be back from break, in a new year, ready to rock and roll. Thank you all for sharing your children’s lives with us, it is with great honor that we are able to be a part of their educational journey. It is imperative that you register early to ensure that you have a spot for next year. At the Lower Elementary level we have 3 openings and 6 students that will be moving into the Upper Elementary classroom, leaving us with 9 spots to be available to those 13 upcoming Kindergartners. An example is in the Primary classrooms where we have a total of 13 kindergarteners who will be exiting and a total of 12 toddlers ready to move up to those rooms. We have been blessed, this year, with many new families, which have resulted in most classrooms being at capacity. 24 we will open enrollment to the public. At the close of business day on February 21, all waitlist applications will be processed. To all other current families, enrollment will open on Monday, January 27, (look for information and applications to go home on Friday, Jan.24). On Wednesday, January 22, at the “Montessori Comes to Life” event, we will open enrollment to our current families that are in attendance. Enrollment will officially open to these families on February 24. Waitlist applications would apply to families that are not currently part of the Peace community. Here are a few dates to share with you regarding enrollment for next year.Īt this time we are accepting applications for waitlist only. The students who will be moving up will begin to spend time in the classrooms in April. During these meetings you will have the opportunity to see and hear about “what comes next” in your child’s Montessori journey!įor those of you who would like to observe in either a Primary or Elementary classroom, just ask at the front desk and we will be happy to schedule a visit. Parents of Primary students who will be moving to Elementary in the Fall will meet with Elementary teachers in E1. Parents of toddlers who would be moving into Primary will meet with the Primary teachers in P2. We will be presenting an informational narrative titled “Montessori Comes to Life.” Following that portion of the evening you will be invited to visit your child’s appropriate classroom. This year’s Parent Information Night, January 22, will focus on Montessori education beginning at the Toddler level and going through the Upper Elementary or Adolescent level. Check outside classroom doors for sign up sheets to schedule a time to meet with your child’s teacher. Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held Jan. Additionally, providing that I have done my math correctly, if every student raised $200 we would reach a total of nearly $30,000! That goes a long way towards scholarships, new materials and the new roof that is in our future. As always, we are offering a pizza party to the classroom that raises the most per student. Bowling will take place on February 7 th. You should have received your Bowl-a-Thon pledge sheet this past Monday. To that end…I have several items of interest to share: Well, I have packed up my holiday decorations so that of course means it is time to push winter “business” into high gear.
