A Word from Mrs. Powell
Every Minute Counts, even Virtually! Please be sure your child is logging in to WebEx for live instruction daily with his/her teacher. Whole group instruction and small group instruction are conducted daily by our teachers. Your child is expected to complete all assignments in Canvas, to include all Resource Classes (Art, Music, PE, Media, and Digital Tools).
Help us here at Montclair to better serve you! Don't hesitate to reach out and ask questions. Our phones are answered daily from 7:30-4:00. Many of you have emailed, called, and even messaged me on ClassDojo. Keep those communication lines open!
Thank you for allowing us here at Montclair to provide high-quality, standards-based instruction to your child/children. We truly are #MontclairStrong!!

Please come by the school on Tuesdays or Thursdays from 8:00-3:00 to pick up Module 2 Wit & Wisdom books if you haven't already done so.

PTA Spirit Rock
Montclair has a "Spirit Rock" that is painted for special occasions or student's birthdays. The rock can be reserved for your child's birthday for 1 week and the cost is $15.00 to paint one side with the message you request. If you would like to reserve the rock, please stop by the school to pay the fee and we'll reserve your week. Thank you for supporting Montclair's PTA.
Resource Classes
In an effort to increase Resource Class participation in Canvas we are assigning each class a day. We have updated the individual student schedules to reflect the following:
Resource Independent Work
Monday-Art
Tuesday-Music
Wednesday-Digital Tools
Thursday-Media
Friday-PE
Please encourage your child to "attend" resource class virtually through Canvas. They do have assignments that need to be submitted and students are held accountable for Resource class participation during Remote Instruction.
