On Friday we will have an all school sing along! We unfortunately do not have enough room to invite parents to this so we will be live streaming some parts of it on our schools Instagram page! You must be a follower of @howemontessoriandsped to see us go live and watch the video! We will stream a couple parts throughout the hour sing along. Reminder that this is not a concert …. this is simply a fun sing along to end our week and get us excited for holiday break. Special thanks to Mrs. Reed for planning and preparing the students.

Remember to send your child in holiday pjs on Friday so we can all match at the sing along.

VERY IMPORTANT—- The first day back in January- Monday the 6th is a HALF DAY with 11:30 am dismissal! Please make note of this!

REMINDER: As the chilly winds blow and the sniffles start to flow, it’s that time of year again—cold and flu season! 

 Let’s keep our school a happy and healthy place for everyone!

Before sending your children off to school, please take a moment to check the “When to Keep Your Student Home” form attached to this post. Remember, students need to be fever-free for a full 24 hours (without any fever-reducing meds) before they can return to class. The same goes for any tummy troubles! 

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our community safe and sound. Together, we can make this season a breeze!
