Hearing/Vision Testing - Hearing/vision screening is scheduled for Tuesday, October 20th. If your preschool through 1st grade student was at least 4 years of age or older as of September 1st, 2026, they must have a vision and hearing test every year in order to be enrolled in school. Additionally, students in 3rd, 5th, and 7th grades must also be screened. These screenings are state mandated. More info will be sent home soon with your student.

Montessori and My Student - Children possess a remarkable ability to absorb the world that surrounds them. Maria Montessori believed the years from three to six are the most critical period for nurturing a child’s natural curiosity and for laying the foundation for all future development. Montessori schools provide a carefully planned and stimulating environment which help the child develop an excellent foundation for future learning. The specific goals for the students who attend a Montessori school are to develop within each student a positive attitude toward school, help develop self-confidence, assist in building a habit of concentration, foster an abiding curiosity, develop habits of initiative and persistence, to foster inner security and a sense of order. For the older student, this framework is used to maintain academic competency.
