What is the "Monday Express?"

Every Monday, parents and students will read about upcoming school happenings and important dates. You can also expect to receive learning, and parenting tips and reminders about safety, behavior, and other important building procedures and routines. You will also explore our beautiful learning environment via photo essays arranged each semester by Mr. Poe, our talented technology expert. The principal's office is committed to providing ongoing communication between school and home. Please contact the office with questions, concerns, and suggestions. We love hearing from you on a regular basis. Together we will make the difference at Northglade.

OUR DEDICATED PTO NEEDS YOUR INVOLVEMENT THIS YEAR IN MANY AREAS

Over the years, the Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) has been an instrumental force in providing for our wonderful students, teachers, and learning environment. Presently parents are desparately needed to continue the important work of the PTO as we strive to make Northglade Montessori an outstanding place to learn. If you are interested in joining the PTO, please attend the monthly meetings. We have many opportunities for parental involvement. Please complete and submit the attached sheet. Mrs. Mitchell our PTO Vice President, will contact you soon. (Contact school office for the attachment)

Important Medical Information Requested

This season, the inclement weather has created unusual medical problems for those students who normally take medication for asthma and other illnesses at home. To assist with monitoring medical conditions, please notify the office immediately if your child is asthmatic or suffers from various allergies. Staff must have signed consent forms to dispense medication at school.
