2) WHAT ARE THE ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS?
Prior to enrollment there are two school visits, the first by the parents alone, the second by the parents with their child. Advance appointments are not necessary for the first visit, but are required for the second visit. Admission to the Elementary program generally requires that the child has attended a Montessori Primary program. We look forward to meeting your family and discussing how our unique environment will shape your child into a responsible, enthusiastic, and life-long learner.
3) HOW CAN I COMMUNICATE WITH MY CHILD'S TEACHER IF I HAVE QUESTIONS?
Parent/Teacher conferences are scheduled twice a year. Open communication between you and your child’s teacher is vital to his/her success. Teachers are available to meet with parents at the end of class on most days. Parents may arrange an appointment at their own convenience. Parents will be provided with progress reports twice per year.
4) IN EVENT OF BAD WEATHER, HOW DO I KNOW IF THE SCHOOL WILL BE OPEN?
CHILD Montessori follows the closure decisions of the Northeast Independent School District (NEISD). If closure of NEISD Elementary Schools is announced, CHILD Montessori will also be closed.
