From time to time, parents ask what teachers would like for their classroom. We are working on compiling a list. Please click on the link below.
Montclair Kindness Day...coming on March 15th!
Parking Lot Reminders
Parking Lot Reminder: Please remember that we have a drive through lane in the parking lot that moves continuously and a lane where you can wait in your car for your child to be dismissed and then pull forward . We need to keep the traffic moving in the west lane so parents are able to come into the building and pick up students or come to the office. We also have preschool parents who need to be able to get to the north end of the parking lot to pick up their students at 3:35, so keeping that lane moving is very important. You may park against the curb and wait in your car for your child to dismiss.
Thank you for your understanding!
