Conferences
We here at Ravenswood Montessori believe in creating a compassionate and nurturing environment for your children. Scheduled and informal parent teacher conferences will occur throughout the year in order to keep parents up-to-date and involved in their child(ren)’s development and progress. Feel free to contact us at rms@ravenswoodmontessori.com if you have further concerns or wish to schedule an appointment. Learning starts in the home with parents, who are the first and primary teachers of their children. When the parents and the school work in unison for the growth of the child, the benefits are wonderful.
Observation Days
Observation days are a chance for parents to see what goes on in the classroom during a typical weekday morning. This provides parents with an opportunity to further connect with their children in a fun and hands on way. Observation days are an excellent way to see first hand how your child learns, plays, and socializes with others. Observation days also help parents gain an understanding of the benefits of the Montessori method.
PERFORMANCES
We at RMS believe that music is a beautiful and beneficial part of a child’s developmental process. Learning an instrument boosts self esteem, increases motor skills, and introduces young learners to new cultures. Students taking music lessons will have the opportunity to participate in performances and recitals that showcase their talents. Parents are always encouraged to come and support their budding new musicians. Reminders and announcements will be made as these dates draw closer. Parents are encouraged to attend as active support motivates children to do their best.
Brightwheel
Brightwheel is a mobile app designed to help parents stay informed and connected to their children throughout their busy day. Caregivers will use Brightwheel to share photos and information with parents through a secured platform. Brightwheel allows us to annotate the development of your children, send alerts for vacation days, send reminders for field trips, or requests supplies your child may need, on an easily usable platform. Brightwheel is Android and iOS compatible and allows you to access real-time status reports from your phone or iPad.
