Parent Hours

Attached is the December Parent Hours report.  If you notice anything amiss, please contact Kati DiLeonardo, the Parent Hours Coordinator.

 

Montessori Academy of Christina (MAC)

Today is the last day to submit choice applications in the State of Delaware for children in Kindergarten and older.  If any of you have friends or neighbors who have expressed interest in choicing their children into the first Montessori public program in Delaware, they have until the end of business today!  The choice application is available on line and is easily submitted that way.

 

Next Year’s Extended Day Program

Part of the EWMS/Christina School District partnership calls for The Elementary Workshop to run an extended day program out of the current building.  The program will serve students enrolled in the MAC program, and will run from the end of the school day until 6:00 PM.  If there is enough call for it, EW will also offer an hour of care before the school day starts.  Start planning now!

 

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Observed

In observance of the birth of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on January 15, 1929, EWMS will be closed on Monday, January 16.

 

Found

A lucky charm of sorts has been found on the playground.  If you are missing such a thing, can identify it, and want it back, please stop in at the office.
