Important Safety Reminder:

If you are bringing your child to school late (after 9:00 am) or picking up early (before 12/12:30 or 2/2:30), please come to the front entrance of the building. For early pickups, please notify your teaching team in advance via email or dojo so they can have your child ready to go. Upon arrival, please call the front desk at (973)509-4500, and a staff member will bring your child to the front door.

The side and back doors to the building are for staff access only. Classrooms in the Annex may dismiss early departures to the side gate on Education Drive if that has been arranged in advance with the teachers.

Beginning on Monday, May 3rd and continuing through Wednesday, May 5th, Joy Glenn of Joy Glenn Photography in Montclair will be taking individual photos of the children and teachers. They will take place outside in the garden in front of the school. Please dress your child for being outdoors. We will have the children socially distanced from the photographer (who is fully vaccinated), however so that we can see their faces, they will take off their mask while their individual photo is taken. Class photos will be composite sheet with each child's individual photo rather than a group, masked photo.

All children will be photographed. No money is due prior to the child's photo being taken. In approximately two or three weeks each family will receive a proof sheet with the picture and package options for ordering. All orders will be filled prior to the end of school if you return the proof sheet by the day indicated.

The photo schedule is as follows:

1. 100% of the funds raised from the gala support the MCPK Scholarship Program. Our Scholarship Program is a small step in bringing equity in education to Montclair.

2. The 2019-2020 gala was cancelled due to the pandemic so we have some catching up to do to reach our fundraising goals.
