Good Evening Families,
We had a great first week–thank you for all the ways you have supported a successful and safe start to our school year!
As we begin week 2 with our lower elementary and upper elementary, we will ask families to help support independence by saying goodbye outside of our building. Primary families will be permitted to walk students to the classroom, saying goodbye outside the classroom door for the week of September 1 and will begin our usual outdoor goodbyes on Monday, September 8. I recognize there are times when students are carrying a heavy load and need assistance. For these instances, we offer two options–option one, parents can hand off the load to a staff member and we’ll ensure delivery to the appropriate place, or option two, parents can park and sign in at the office during morning arrival to deliver the load. If deliveries occur after 7:45 AM, our staff will happily deliver to the classroom during a break in instructional time.
The team at George Watts is working closely with the PTA this year to try to build more community. We invite you to join in! Make sure to connect to this year’s community calendar (on website/iCal link) to ensure you save-the-dates for all of the fun we have planned! Make sure to check out this week’s fun!
Enjoy the extra day of weekend tomorrow and we’ll see you on Tuesday! Hope to see all of you around George Watts Montessori soon!
