Dear Parents, please use the doodle link posted in each of the classrooms in Brightwheel. It is an opportunity to schedule a time to meet with your child’s teacher for parent/teacher conferences. It is so wonderful to share your child/ren’s progress with you. It fills our hearts with joy to see them blossom as they explore the Montessori environment, learn to navigate social interactions, and overcome emotional challenges to be the most well-adjusted child they can be.
Reminder: As the weather is changing, Please apply sunscreen once on children before dropping off, for full-time children we will reapply in the afternoon before going out. If you would like us to apply sunscreen on your child, please send some of your choice.
