The Week of August 4th

 The Learning Community Newsletter 


Families,

We had a wonderful first two days of school! Students have been making new friends, working with Montessori materials, learning new procedures, and completing practical life jobs. 

Severe Weather Closure

We will have early dismissal at 12:15 tomorrow, August 4. School will be closed Tuesday, August 6th and Wednesday, August 7th. There will be no required remote learning during this time.



The First Great Lesson

Children will receive Montessori's First Great Lesson this week! The First Great Lesson is usually shared close to the first day of each school year in elementary. It's designed to give students a sense of their place in the Universe by learning about the stars, the Sun, the planets, how Earth was formed, states of matter, particle behavior, and much more.

Families can access student attendance and submit absence notes and fill out beginning of the year forms with PowerSchool at sccpss.com.

Explorations
This year, the children will be traveling to explorations on Tuesday mornings.  Be sure to send your child to school in shoes that will work well for them in P.E.  For those new to the school, the children have art, music, PE, Spanish, Technology, and Engineering with the exploration teachers in one morning each week.
