Tomorrow begins today!

Dear Mountaineer Montessori School Families,


On behalf of the faculty, staff and board of directors, it is my pleasure to invite your family to return to Mountaineer Montessori School for the 2025-26 school year. We look forward to empowering the unique potential and inspiring the future of each child in our beautiful Montessori environments during the year ahead... and beyond.


It is truly an honor to have you as part of our special school community and we are grateful that you have chosen MMS as the educational home for your child.


Planning for the new year is already well underway. All returning MMS families must log into FACTS Family Online (ParentsWeb) and complete the re-enrollment process by February 15, 2025. 


Siblings of current students are granted priority enrollment during this time as well.


If you plan to enroll another child not currently attending MMS, please let us know by emailing Beth. Siblings of current MMS students will have priority enrollment until February 15. You may start an application for a new sibling any time.


Your prompt re-enrollment holds a space for your child and helps us meet staffing, training and facilities needs for all students in the year ahead. We do anticipate full classes at all levels for the 2025-26 school year.


A 5% tuition deposit must be paid upon enrollment. Please contact us as soon as possible if this is a concern for you.


From a desktop or laptop computer (not a mobile device), follow these steps to access and begin the process:


  • Go to www.factsmgt.com        
  • Click "Log In Here" at the top right of the page.
  • Choose "Family Portal Login" in the "For Families" section.
  • Type in our district code (MM-WV), your username and password. If you have forgotten your username or password, please click on the link provided.
  • After logging in, click on the Apply/Enroll button in the left menu.
  • Click on the Enrollment/Re-enrollment button.


Please complete a new application for enrollment for new siblings (available from our website)


After February 15, we will offer remaining classroom spaces to new families. We have been meeting with prospective families continuously since September and anticipate full enrollment once again next year.


Because space is limited in all classes, if we do not receive your materials by February 15, we cannot guarantee that your child will have a place at MMS next year.


Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. We look forward to welcoming new and returning families to MMS for our 49th year of excellence and innovation in education!  


Sincerely,


Jennifer Carriger
