Week of June 8, 2026

Good Evening Families,

Wow–this is the final weekly update for the 2025-26 school year. Before sharing our final update, I want to thank each one of you for the role you have played in the George Watts Montessori community this year. There were so many highlights in this school year, and I am grateful for you! 

We have several fun celebrations this week to round out the school year, including our 5th grade promotion ceremony where we will send off our fifth graders and field day. 

Second grade families, our Advanced Academics team wants to offer an brief session on understanding the CogAT score report and AIG identification. We apologize for not getting this in sooner. Jen Pryor, our lower AIG specialist will host a session at 8AM on Wednesday (I know, it’s the very last day)--it will likely take place in the media center. 

Since this will likely be the final update before Summer, I want to share a few important notes:

First, for those returning to George Watts Montessori next year, you can expect a mid-Summer update from me in early to mid-July with more regular communication starting in mid-August. 

Second, we operate on limited office hours during the summer months. Our office will be open to the public Monday through Thursday, 8AM-2PM throughout the summer. Email is usually the best way to get in touch with our office team in the Summer. 

Third, mark your calendar for our summer playdates on our playground at George Watts–we will have a playdate on June 20 and July 11, from 9-10:30AM (beat the heat!). 

Finally, if your child has medication at the school, please be sure to stop by the office this week to pick it up, as we are unable to store medication over the summer. 

Let’s make this a great final three days–we hope to see you around George Watts Montessori soon!

Last call for feedback on policy proposal:

DPS is seeking feedback from stakeholders on drafts of updated student code of conduct policy 4301. The turnaround is very short, as the board is working to pass updated policy before the transition on July 1. We invite you to read about changes and communicate your feedback using this form.
