The Monthly Mustang: Pony Edition
Caring I Common Sense I Consideration I Cooperation I Courtesy

It's summer but the campuses continue to be busy with cleaning, upgrading, training and all the preparations for the coming school year. We are excited to welcome new staff members and reconnect with those who have been away. We are looking forward to having all of the children back on campus and making the most of our Montessori curriculum!
Lot's of Fun at Summer Camp!
Goal Setting/Meet the Teacher
The Toddler and Primary teachers will be contacting each family to set up a meeting which should take place during the week of August 2. During these meetings, you can share any pertinent information regarding your child and learn more about what you can expect from the upcoming year.

Please Note the Following Protocols:
~you may choose to meet in person or virtual
~your student is encouraged to attend, however, no siblings please
~meetings will be limited to 15 minutes each
~if you arrive more than 5 minutes prior to your scheduled time, please wait in your car
~teacher will meet you at the gate and accompany you to the classroom

In our Parent Welcome Packet, we detail what parents are required to provide for their child’s first day, as well as what to keep at School on a regular basis. Please take a few minutes to read through it.

Clothing Guidelines Which Help Support the Montessori Curriculum

1.    Please send your young child in clothing that is easy to put on and remove, in case your child gets wet or has a bathroom accident. 
2.    Each child is required to have a sufficient change of clothing in his/her cubby at all times. It is the parents’ responsibility to make sure that clothing is labeled and replaced as needed. Be sure to label the baggie containing your child’s extra clothing as well as the clothing itself. In order to help keep things organized, we ask that you send 2 changes of clothing in gallon ziplock or reusable bags labeled with first and last names (clothes and bags).
3.     Tennis shoes are preferred footwear.  NO SANDALS, FLIP FLOPS, HEELS, OR COWBOY BOOTS.
4.    Jewelry can present a possible danger/safety hazard/distraction and could be lost or broken. It is best left at home.
5.    All children are required to have a Mission Montessori T-shirt and/or sweatshirt to wear on Park Days, field trip days and other special events.
6.    Other types of clothing, dress or grooming may be questionable if in violation of health or safety standards, modesty, or common values. If inappropriate clothing is worn, the student will be asked to change.
7.   Toddlers and primary students must bring appropriate inside shoes to leave at school and change into as they arrive at their classrooms.


When packing your child's lunch, please note the following guidelines:
~choose fruits and vegetables
~add a protein
~if adding "snack foods" remember, less is more; children tend to fill up on these empty calories rather than their "growing food".
~avoid sending "gogurt" due to the tendency to spills (which stain the carpet)
~avoid sending juice at all; water is the drink of choice
limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
