Common use of Parent Involvement Clause in Contracts

Parent Involvement. Evening Parent meetings will be held throughout the year. Advance notice of these meetings will be given in the school calendar and/or the Sunrise Newsletter. The meetings will cover such topics as: the Montessori philosophy and methods, school curriculum, ideas on developing consistency between home and school, children’s patterns of growth and development, discipline, and other topics as requested by our parents. The first school parent meeting, held in August, is an Orientation meeting and attendance is essential. At this meeting, teachers discuss the upcoming year and present information that will further your understanding of our school and your child’s classroom. This information can change from year to year, so be sure to attend every fall. Parents are encouraged to observe during school hours once school is well under way and the children are accustomed to their daily routine and environment. Parents interested in sharing a particular skill, organizing field trips, reading with the children, helping with the classroom garden, and making classroom materials should feel free to speak with the child’s teacher. These and other volunteer jobs are listed on sign-up sheets available at the beginning of each school year. Check with the school before throwing anything away! We often can use items which you no longer need, such as paper bags, trays, paper, pitchers, buckets, fabric, yarn, art supplies, etc. Parents play a major role in school social events such as the Halloween Party, Winter Party and Earth Day. Plan to attend open Friends of Sunrise meetings, morning coffees, Montessori in the Morning, and read the newsletters to learn ways to participate in your child’s school experience.
