ANNUAL MEETING

Thursday | September 28 | 5:30-7:00 pm

Please join us for the Annual Meeting on Thursday, September 28, from 5:30-7:00 pm. Pam will provide an overview of the successes of the last year and a look forward to our upcoming year. Dinner and free childcare for students who currently attend TMA will be provided. Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly.

JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY

Saturday | September 30 | 9:00 am - 1:00 pm

Do you want to learn how some of the Montessori materials are used so you can better understand what the children do at school all day? Then we have the event for you!

Please join us for a powerful experience where you will be immersed in Montessori philosophy, from the Nido class through Upper Elementary. Parents will first be asked to experience the classroom as a silent observer, refraining from touching materials or speaking to others in the room. After this observation, you will become an active participant, receiving lessons and completing work using Montessori materials, from the Pink Tower to Test Tubes. Participants must be able to stay for the full time and enrollment is limited to the first 25 individuals who RSVP. Please join us for this amazing learning opportunity!

Lunch and free childcare for students who are toddler-age or older and who currently attend TMA will be provided. Unfortunately, we cannot provide care for students in the Nido class because the room is utilized for the event. Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly.

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES & INDIVIDUAL PORTRAITS

Monday | October 9 | Student Holiday

There will be no class on Monday, October 9, so you can meet with your child's teacher to review progress and discuss goal setting. Please look for more information from your child's teacher in the coming weeks about scheduling your conference time.

What should my child do during the conference?

For conferences between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm, students in Early Childhood and Elementary can have their individual portrait taken and then enjoy our supervised outdoor spaces during the conference. Infant and Toddler students are welcome to have their pictures taken and will go to their class with parents.

INDIVIDUAL PORTRAITS

October 9 and 12

All students will have the opportunity to have their portrait taken on Monday, October 9, during Parent Teacher Conferences. If your child will not attend during conferences on Monday, portraits will be taken during class on Thursday, October 12.

CLOTHING DRIVE

October 9-20

Mark your calendars and start clearing out your closets! Our annual clothing drive will be held October 9-20. More details coming soon.
