Montessori Night School is tomorrow, February 1 from 5:00 to 6:30 PM. This come-and-go event is a wonderful opportunity for parents to see Montessori work in action. Primary and Lower Elementary children will show their parents their classrooms and demonstrate the lessons they are learning, while Upper Elementary students will present research.
Mr. Snow's UE classroom will host a geography fair; the students will focus on the countries of Africa. In Ms. Spesia's UE room, the students will present a colloquium featuring individual research stations on a variety of topics.
Classroom Schedule
Primary: 5:00 – 6:00 PM
Lower Elementary: 5:30 – 6:30 PM
Upper Elementary: 5:00 – 6:30 PM
Childcare is available in the gym for currently enrolled SCM Primary students only. Because space is limited in every room at all levels, we ask that you visit the room with only your child whose class you are in.
All parents are welcome to visit the Upper Elementary classrooms to enjoy the Upper Elementary geography fair and research colloquium.

2023-2024 Yearbook and Recognition Ads | |
|
This year, we've teamed up with Herff Jones as our new yearbook partner! Our yearbook is priced at $50 and will arrive in May. This cost also covers the supplement, which will feature April through May school activities and will be mailed home in the summer to all yearbook purchasers. The supplement is a high-quality, full-color insert with a sticky tab for easy placement in the back of the book. The yearbook order deadline is Monday, March 25. Click here to place your order using order number: 25676.
Families have the option to purchase recognition ads. These ads are a wonderful way to congratulate a graduate, celebrate a student, or acknowledge a guide. Ad space is limited and has sold out in the past; we recommend reserving yours soon! Prices vary by ad size. The deadline for recognition ads is Friday, March 1.
