Message from our Director
Dear Parents,
We had a great Share the Love Day on Friday. We were able to conduct several tours and that is always good to bring parents and students into the school for a visit. We could use more students registering for next year, so encourage others to come and join us. We are always willing to take parents around for a tour.
Last week we met in our board meeting and we discussed several agenda items for the remainder of the school year. One of those items is a calendar for next year. Calendars can be tricky to meet the state requirements. After examining several district and charter school calendars we were able to come up with an acceptable format that followed the surrounding school's models.
Some of the changes for next year are fifteen minutes added to the end of the day on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Our school hours will be 8:30 am – 3:15 pm. This will help facilitate the other change on the calendar so that our hours are 8:30 am – 1:45 pm on Wednesday. Kindergarten schedules will also change. Our 2020-2021 calendar will be available on our website this week.
Our teachers are required to complete a great deal of professional development each year. This early out will facilitate the teachers participating in professional development within their contract hours. Through this professional development we can discuss the methods that will best benefit your children as they attend Maria Montessori Academy.
We appreciate your support of the school, teachers and your children in their educational programs.
Best regards,
Mr. Mike

Famous Montessorians
Julia Child
The world-famous television chef and author of Mastering the Art of French Cuisine clearly enjoyed her work. She credited her Montessori experience with her love of working with her hands, finding fun in her work, and her joy of working with others. Julia's advice to others was "learn from your mistakes and above all have fun!"
