We are looking forward to welcoming new families to WMS this fall, and we've enjoyed meeting some of you at camp this week! You may already be wondering about the upcoming school year. What will you need to prepare for your student? What important dates should you hold in your calendar? This summer, we will be using this newsletter to share helpful information about what to expect in those first days and weeks, as well as tips for where to find information when you need it.

Curriculum Nights are a great opportunity for hearing more about your student’s curriculum, program and day-to-day routines. You don’t want to miss this very informative classroom presentation.
Supply Lists
You will be able to access the supply lists for your student’s level by way of the WMS website. The supply lists will be posted by July 5 to allow families plenty of time to gather the appropriate supplies and materials for their students during the summer months.
Key Cards
Key cards will be distributed to enrolled families at the start of the school year (or at the start of your child's camp week if you are attending Camp Montessori). Safety and security are of the utmost importance at Wilmington Montessori School. The school will contact families in August to arrange for designated family members to have key cards and instructions that will give them access to the school during the school day.
Stay Tuned...
Over the next few months, the Wednesday Weekly newsletter will include a regular feature called “Did You Know…?” spotlighting details about the upcoming school year with new families in mind. Please be sure to check your inbox for this newsletter and other updates, which will be sent on a bi-weekly basis during the summer months.
