How to Help

14 hours ago

Montessori Borealis relies on the help of many people to keep our program strong!

 

Below are some specific areas where we need some volunteer help, some committees that need members, or some materials we'd like to have in the classroom.  You can also talk with your child's teacher and see what they might need some assistance with.

 

The time spent can be as much or as little as you want, so don't hesitate to volunteer for fear of the workload!  If you are able to help with any of these items, please let one of the teachers know, or contact Kristin, Melissa or Beccah @ 523-1848.

Thank you!

 

We are seeking volunteers for the following:

 

Site council~

Site Council meetings happen on the 3rd Thursday of every month @ 5:15pm. Parents are always welcome!

 

Run an after school club~

Do you have a special talent or interest that you would like to share? We would love some parents, grandparents, etc. to run some afterschool clubs between 3:00-4:00pm. Some ideas are knitting, art, dance, chess...

Please contact Kristin, Melissa, or Beccah if you are interested.

 

Host a "Going-Out"~

Some students are ready for "Going Out" into the world without their teachers. They can plan trips to places like the library, the boat harbor, museum, etc., but they will need a chaperon.  Please contact your child's teacher if you are intersected.

 

Share your expertise with a group of students~

If you have a talent or an expertise that you would like to share with our community, please do! Come dissect fish, share your culture, tell a story...We have a rich community of families here at our school and we want to tap into that. Please contact your child's teacher if you would like to visit.

 

Thank you for all of your support!

It is important that - for the schools bolded and italicized above, students do NOT get off at that first stop - but wait until they get to DH to disembark in the mornings.

-Bus #37 will start at Gastineau, stop at Harborview for another group of kiddos, then continue on to DH.  Buses #41 and #42 will do the same (stop at another school before going on to DH).  

The first week - there will be adults at the previous schools to remind students to stay on the bus.   

**RALLY will only be held AFTER SCHOOL at Harborview.  All RALLY students should catch bus #37 after school.

 

In the afternoon, all Montessori Borealis students will ride one of those three buses (same #s) back to the neighborhood school nearest to their home.  

The afternoon buses will leave approximately at 3:40 PM from DH.   

Only school bus riders only will be allowed in the building and supervised in the gym after school.

Please make sure that your child is clear about his/her after school plan for every day of the week.

Please contact the Montessori Borealis Office (523-1848) or your child's teacher to notify them of changes in plans.
