Happy New Year!

As the 2021 begins we all have opportunity for a fresh start. Hopefully, we have had a chance to get some rest and spend time with our loved ones during the break. The children are often very ready to be back at school and in their routines after the long break. Although we are halfway through the school year, there is still so much left to explore and master, these next few months are typically one of great growth within the classroom and I am looking forward to see where it leads.

‌

Pajama Day is looked forward to by the children year after year. Having a special snack at school in delicious comfort is a fun way to spend the morning together.

The primary children also had a book exchange. Their skills in grace and courtesy were evident as they gave and received their books!

Please Note

In the best interest of the continued health and safety of our staff and students, we have decided it is prudent to return to temperature checks for all students upon arrival for at least the next couple of weeks.

Important Dates

January 4: All Schools Resume

January 18: MLK Day-All Schools Closed

January 25: 100th Day of School-be sure you charter student is at school and counted this day!

The Great Outdoors

Whether it's working hard or exploring nature, being outside gives children a chance to move their bodies, practice skills, develop their vocabulary and can often help to recenter. The outdoors are an extension of the classrooms and we take full advantage of the opportunities and spaces.

Winter Program

Our Winter Program looked a bit different this year but the classes were able to learn new songs and sing their hearts out for the videos. There was also the added bonus of getting a glimpse of the older children, some former classmates, singing, dancing and reciting from school or home.

Health and Safety

~We respectfully request that each family remain diligent in their efforts to limit exposure to possible infections. We recognize that we cannot manage what families do outside of school; however, we do trust that our families will take appropriate steps to help mitigate risk to the members of our community.

Ask yourself and your child the health screener questions EVERYDAY before you come to school:

Has anyone in your immediate family tested positive for COVID-19 within the last 14 days?

Has anyone in your immediate family been exposed to someone that has tested positive to COVID-19 within the last 14 days?

Does your child have a fever?

Have you given your child a medicine with the purpose of reducing a fever within the last 12 hours?

Has your child experienced shortness of breath or had trouble breathing?

Does your child have a dry cough?

Do not send your child to school if they are exhibiting any of the symptoms noted in the heath screener. Please let Ms. Martin know as soon as possible that you have kept your child home for any of the above noted reasons. jmartin@missionmontessori.com.
