Parent Involvement Program:
Research has found that a Parent Involvement Program is one way for parents, especially working parents, to participate more in their child's education, and at the same time to be more connected to the school.

At Rising Star Montessori School we really encourage building a partnership between our families and our school. We require each family to contribute up to a maximum of 20 parent work hours to the school or to pay up to a $200 Parent Involvement Fee. Each family has 8.5 hours required work hours.

We require parents to:
1. Attend the Parent Education Night.
2. Support the Fall Harvest Festival with at least 2 work hours.
3. Come to Parent Workdays and work at least 3 hours. (Two parents coming from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm on one of these days can do 12 parent hours in one day!)
4. Assist your child's teacher as Classroom Helper with at least 2 hours of work.

With higher levels of parent involvement, great rewards are brought to both the children and the school. Our expenses are reduced, tuition can be kept as low as possible, and your children benefit from the success of the activities and events at school.

Director's Comments

Each child who enrolls in our school is put on a two week probation period starting from the enrollment date. They are evaluated at the end of six weeks at which time the parent and teacher will meet at the scheduled conference. If your child is having problems adjusting socially or academically during the two weeks or after, your child's teacher and the administrators will meet with you. At that time, we will reach a mutual agreement in finding a solution to the problem. If this cannot be done, a mutual decision may be reached to terminate enrollment.

Wise Words About the Comforts of a Great Book

The lives of grown-ups and children alike are filled with ups and downs. In general, the little ones cycle through their joys and miseries more rapidly and far more expressively (read loudly). But we all need a bit of comfort now and then, don't we?
