Good Evening Families,

I hope everyone stayed warm and dry during our remote learning day on Friday–we have just 10 more days of instruction before we wrap up 2025!

Book Fair extended through Monday at noon! With remote learning on Friday, we know some missed out on shopping at our Fall book fair. It will remain open before school through noon on Monday for another opportunity to shop.

‘Tis the season of giving! Each year we choose a holiday drive to support families within our own community and families at Families Moving Forward. We will be collecting new toiletries and baby wipes all week. Please consider helping your child participate by bringing something in for our drive!

Wednesday is our second early-release day. Students will be dismissed at 12:15 to allow time for teachers and staff to engage in professional learning. The George Watts afterschool program will operate until 6PM.

Want a chance to talk and ask questions with our principal team? Join us Friday, just after morning arrival (7:50 AM) for a cup of coffee and conversation. No agenda, just a chance to connect!

Have a great week and we hope to see you around George Watts Montessori soon!

Showing love to staff for the holidays! From the PTA… Class parents are raising funds to give holiday gifts to all Watts teachers and staff. If you have not yet heard from your class parents, please contact our front office.

Helping Holidays

We still need help supporting families with holiday needs. With the holidays just around the corner, many families in the GWM community are in need of assistance. If you are interested in supporting one of our families with holiday gifts, you can sign up HERE. If you are a family in need of assistance, please confidentially contact our school social worker, Cynthia Wilson (cynthia_wilson@dpsnc.net). Wrapped gifts should be delivered to the front office no later than Tuesday, December 16.
