A Note From Our Principal

We are planning fun fall-themed activities for our students this month and are excited to share photos with you all through Links 2 Home app. As always, please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely, Lila Afoa

Our goal is to stay open for 5 day a week in person learning. To ensure this can take place we need your support. As we continue our health and safety protocols here at the school we ask that you please support our efforts by following recommended safety measures while at home and out in public. Below are a few items that our school is adding to our health and safety protocols and procedures. For more information about those measures please visit https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/index.html Together we can keep our classrooms open.

Montessori Community Events
Lowe Family Farmstead: The Lowe Family Farmstead has offered a special Montessori night for all of our families. October 28th from 4pm-9pm, you can bring your family to the Farmstead for a discounted entrance rate of $6.99. This family fun, outdoor venue offers games for the kids, pumpkins for sale, food, corn mazes and much more! Just mention “Montessori Academy” at the gate to receive your discounted rate.
Boise Speech Tree – Free speech and language screenings will be available at Boise Speech Tree for any of our Montessori Academy families. Early detection and intervention of speech-language delays results in better outcomes, so this is a great opportunity to make sure your child is meeting their developmental milestones. Screenings will be conducted individually using norm-based tools at Boise Speech Tree. Please contact Laura Rogers, MS, CCC-SLP at (208) 830-9311 to schedule a screening. More information will be available in the school lobby.
For Small Hands: This year our school will be participating in the For Small Hands School Credit promotion. This program allows our school to earn credit to use to purchase classroom materials to enhance your child’s learning experience. The For Small Hands catalog is filled with hundreds of age-appropriate, child-size items that encourage independence creativity, and problem-solving. This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase unique and educational holiday gifts for the children in your life. Catalogs are available in the office and order forms are due back to the office no later than October 20th if you’d like to participate in a group order to save on shipping and handling.
Scholastic Book Club: Scholastic Book Clubs has served schools and families since 1948 by providing affordable, just-right books for kids that are carefully selected by teachers and reading experts. Book Clubs supports teachers with FREE Books and resources for the classroom, while helping children discover the pleasure and power of reading each month through choosing and owning their own books. To participate, you can order online or turn in your order forms to the school no later than 15th of every month. When ordering online, be sure to use our SCHOOL ORDER CODE: GXLZ9
