Monte Gardens News
December 15, 2017
This is such an exciting time of year for students. It has been exciting to see students performing in holiday shows and completing projects. I am reminded daily of the unique community that exists here at Monte Gardens in how we work together to support students. Thank you for your continued support!
As you attend your parent teacher conferences and hear how your child is progressing make sure to celebrate their growth and achievements. We are 1/3 of the way through the school year and students will continue to make progress as we work together to support them. Open communication between teachers and parents will help to ensure a student's success.
The lottery was held on Tuesday, December 12, for the incoming kindergarten class of 2018-2019. As in past years, letters notifying parents of acceptance or non-acceptance will be mailed shortly and parents will be notified by early January. In the end, the priorities honored at Monte Gardens were reflected; neighborhood, sibling and site employees. The support and involvement of parents in this process was apparent and helped to clarify inconsistencies in district policies.
I'd like to ask your help in maintaining a safe school environment. Please make sure to review and follow our carpool procedures. Dropping students off in the street or while waiting at the stop sign is very unsafe. Please remember to be respectful of our neighbors and not block or park in their driveways. Monte Gardens parents should not be parking in the district parking lot for pick up or drop off. As the weather will get worse we need to take extra precautions to ensure student safety.
Please remember that my door is open to you if you have any questions.
Working together, school and home, students will succeed!
Your Principal,
Erin Fairholm
