Dear Primary Montessori Families!
Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year. We have an exciting opportunity for new families. The schedule below outlines a time for your family to join your child’s classroom for a small group visit with the teacher. During this special visit, your family will experience a tour of the classroom, a group setting with a few lessons, and a snack, leaving time at the end for questions/answers. We hope that by providing your family a more intimate first experience in the classroom, we can begin our year with a feeling of warmth and excitement for the year ahead. Class lists will be posted before the open house held on September 1st. Please see schedule below for your child’s transition experience.
September 1st
New Families only (meet in classroom)
2:30-3:00: Three year old students
3:15-3:45: Four year old students
4:00-4:30: Kindergarten Students (If your child will begin the year as a four year old but will be considered a kindergarten student, please attend this session)
If your family has a conflict with your child’s assigned session, please feel free to join another time or join us for the “Open House” portion of the night from 4:30-5:30 in the classroom.
Returning Families of Miss Pittiglio, Mrs. Yamasaki, and Mrs. Larrea’s classes: Please join us from 4:30-5:30 in the classroom for an informal open house setting. We can’t wait to see you again!!
