COMING SOON!
Montgomery Elementary will soon be implementing a system to enhance our security and allow us to manage our visitors more effectively. We will be using "Lobby Guard" which will require all visitors planning to enter Montgomery Elementary to have and produce identification. If visitors do not have an ID, they will not be given access to the school. We will provide more information as we get closer to the implementation date.

COLLECTION FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Montgomery Elementary, along with the other elementary schools in the district, will be working in collaboration with Sycamore High School's "Young Scholars" group on a project they are doing for Black History Month this month. They are collecting toiletries to donate to The Boys and Girls Club and we will be specifically collecting shampoo and hair conditioner. There will be a bin placed in our lobby by the pig for those collections until February 23rd. Please send in your donations for this worthy cause!
