Family Education/Co-op Opportunities

ISACS Parent Education Series -

Beginning Tonight

WMS is once again registered for the ISACS Parent Education Series, a collection of virtual workshops for independent school parents and caregivers. Each workshop is worth one hour of co-op time. 

The first workshop is scheduled for next Wednesday, September 25, at 7:30 p.m. Registration information will be shared via Bloomz. 

Back-To-School Momentum:

Prepping Children of All Ages for the Challenges (& Successes) of a New School Year  Presented by Lynn Lyons, LICSW  

We all benefit from knowing effective, active and creative strategies to confront worry and anxiety Families need clear direction on HOW to respond when anxiety or worry flares up. Parents are an instrumental part of the process and benefit greatly by collaborating directly with the school. 

Based on current research and years of clinical experience, learn a strategic approach based on skill-building, with emphasis on prevention that benefits students, their families and educators. What are the mistakes we continue to make? How can we take advantage of a new school year’s positivity? What are the myths we need to bust, the paradigms we need to shift and the skills we must build? 

This webinar is recommended for parents and caregivers of grades 1–12, but all age levels are welcome.

Join us on the Journey! 

Tuesday, October 1, 9 a.m. - Noon

Only a few spots left!

 Whether you're a long-time Wilmington Montessori School parent or just beginning to learn about Montessori education - it is time to step out of the observation room and into the classroom!

Even if you've attended The Journey in the past, there is more to discover each year!

During this event, you will:

• Personally experience the Montessori educational process and better understand the teaching methods by getting hands-on with Montessori materials.
• See first-hand how WMS prepares children for success in their educational journey.
• Learn how each three-year program level builds and supports your child's development from introduction through eighth grade.
• Open conversations with your child about classroom activities.
• Realize the positive aspects of learning and succeeding at WMS.
• Be more prepared to describe the distinction of a Montessori education to friends and family.
• Earn 3 co-op hours!

Important Note - Because of the large amount of interest in this event, advance registration is required. We limit registration to ensure that the group is small enough that all attendees can interact with materials and have their questions answered! Another Journey will be held later in the school year.

Peace Week 2024

During the past week, WMS students have been exploring the idea of peace through a variety of activities. They’ve been singing and playing instruments to the song "Light a Candle for Peace," sharing what makes them feel peaceful, painting peace doves, learning about the United Nations and exploring and creating symbols of peace. Through these activities, they’ve reflected on how peace can be expressed and shared with the world around them.

We look forward to celebrating Peace Day together tomorrow, during our first school-wide assembly of the year!
