Good Evening Families,
I don’t know about you, but I sure am ready for spring! It does look like we have some warmer temps this week, so hopefully, we can get a full and normal week in! We have two opportunities for you to get involved this week–first, our PTA work session is at 7:45 on Tuesday after morning dropoff, and then we have our mid-year data retreat with our school improvement team on Thursday at 4PM.
Let’s hope for a normal, five full day week ahead! Have a great week and we hope to see you around George Watts Montessori soon! |
Looking ahead to the 2026-27 DPS Calendars: I have received a few questions about the meaning of “inclement weather reserve” days. While this has been uncommon in the past several years, it used to be a common practice on DPS calendars. “Inclement weather reserve” days are teacher workdays that could become school days in the event we need to make-up time due to weather-related closures. Some have asked, but why so early in the year? While it seems these past couple of weeks that winter weather is the main culprit of school closures, we have often had to close school during hurricane season as well. DPS administration determines when to use remote learning, banked time, or make-up time due to weather closures–they typically announce this within a week or two of a closure.
