All students will have access to school supplies even if they are unable to purchase any. All school supplies are shared among classrooms. This year, families have two ways to purchase school supplies.

1. The Parent Teacher Association is trying something new and offering pre-made school supply kits for 2024-25 as a fundraiser. Kits can be purchased at Meet the Guide Night.

2. Purchase supplies in store using cash, check, or card using this list as a guide.

The goal in our Montessori classrooms is for the child to remain with their Montessori guide for the full three year cycle. However, changes in enrollment or guide may mean that a child is moved into a different classroom in order to balance numbers.

Guides will call families of new students on Friday, August 9 and alert via email/call all returning families by Wednesday, August 14.

Meet the Guide Night will be a time to greet your child's guide and tour the school.

Friday, August 16 from 5-6 p.m.
