Students will be bussed to and from the park on Thursday. We are scheduled to leave Ellis at 11 and return after 1:30. If you'd like to cheer on the runners, please plan on being at the park then.  
Classroom Observations
It is recommended that all parents come in to observe our environment twice a year. Observations give parents a better understanding of what exactly is happening in the Montessori environment. Please use the link below to schedule a classroom observation.
