New School Weekly Update

September 23 - 27, 2024


Welcome to your weekly source of updates, news, and reminders!



Activity and Event Payments

We're happy to offer convenient online payment options, including Zelle, for parents to cover incidentals like field trips, events, purchases, and more. To help avoid any confusion, please be sure to include details in the memo line about what the payment is for, and if applicable, your child’s name, so we can correctly apply your payment to the appropriate activity.

Adding Contacts to Child Pilot

One of the most frequently asked questions we’ve received lately is about the process for adding new contacts for dropping off or picking up children.


To add an authorized pickup, visit your Child Pilot app and click the + Member button at the top of your screen. You will then see the options to add individuals to your profile. From there, you can add authorized pickups and emergency contacts by completing the necessary information and uploading a photo of each individual. Once added, they will be able to download the Child Pilot app and sign your child(ren) in and out of school.

Spirit Night: Panera

We hope you can join us on Thursday, September 26th, at Panera Bread in Holly Springs for our first Spirit Night of the year! Be sure to place your order between 4 PM and 8 PM so the school receives credit.


25% of sales will be donated to support our playground improvements. Don't forget to download the flyer or use the code provided, and feel free to invite your friends and family!

Safety Announcements

The first month back to school has gone smoothly, and we thank you all for your diligence in following our safety protocols! To further enhance the safety of our students and families, we have a few important announcements to share.


Parking Lots: Please note that we have a strict 5 mph speed limit in both the upper and lower parking lots. To maintain access to our parking areas, we also require parents to drive carefully, accelerate slowly, and avoid sudden turns or erratic driving maneuvers.


Nut-free Policy: We have children in several classrooms with severe allergies. Please be sure not to pack any nuts or tree-nut products in your child's lunch or snacks. Thank you for your help with this!


After-school Pick up: Over the past several weeks, we’ve noticed children in our after-school playground areas who are not on our authorized roster. It appears some families have been signing their children out but still allowing them to play on the playground or in other areas of the school, such as the hill behind the building. While we love providing opportunities for socialization, please note that only children officially enrolled in after-school can be present in any of our playground areas or on school property after their scheduled departure time. This policy is in place due to concerns about ratios, supervision, and accountability.


If you would like to inquire about adding a day of after-school care for your child for a daily fee, please email billing@montessoricenter.org, and we’ll be happy to accommodate based on available staffing for that day.


Thank you all for your understanding and cooperation with these safety policies! We greatly appreciate your help. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us at security@montessoricenter.org if you have any concerns.
