Montessori Minutes 9/13
Happy Friday San Tan Montessori families,
We will be honoring our Grandparents this Wednesday, Sept. 18th . We wish them all things bright and beautiful and welcome them to join us at school.
Grandparents Day
This year grandparent’s day will be different than in the past. We want to treat our grandparents to a lovely event that honors them along with their grandchildren with a memorable experience.
Bring your nut-free lunch and enjoy lunch with your grandchild in the coolness of our school gym.
- Preschool and Half Day Kinders 10:30-11:30 in the gym with their grandparents. Students without visitors will stay in class.
- K-8 11:30-12:30 in the gym with their grandparents. Students without visitors will continue their typical schedule with their teachers!
Grandparents and visitors will check-in with Ms. Icke and sign their preschooler out for the hour. Please note that the parent must add grandparent or friends to their emergency card if the parent is not present to be able to sign their child in and out. Please ask the parents to let you know if their child will or will not be participating in grandparents day. Please let Myra Icke in the Montessori office know if you have any questions.
