Our playground is littered with large branches and will need professional attention and repairs (to fences after branches are removed) before it’s safe for the children.

We hope power returns before Wednesday, and will continue to keep parents posted.

PLEASE NOTE: If you haven’t had an e-mail or NEWS post that confirms when the school will reopen, please call the office and listen to the message.  Without power, our access to internet is limited, but we can always update the phone message.

Right now we plan to open school on schedule tomorrow, Monday, October 31st. 

We will provide an update on school closing two ways:

1. Here in NEWS on the website.
2. Via the phone message at 201-816-8343. 

If possible we will send an e-mail update as well.  In case you see no further update in NEWS \, this means we’ve lost internet communications.  In that case, PLEASE CALL 201-816-8343 Monday morning for the latest information.

The office will be closed, all classes and tours are canceled.  We expect to return to our normal schedule and hours tomorrow.

Wow!  That ice is really something!

Local conditions vary; parents, please exercise caution planning your time and route to school today.  Feel free to keep your children at home, arrive late, or pick up early,  if that is your best, safest course of action.

The office will be closed, all classes and tours are canceled.  We expect to return to our normal schedule and hours on Friday, January 28.

Enjoy the winter weather!

Local conditions vary; parents and teachers please exercise caution planning your time and route to school today.  Parents, feel free to keep your children at home, or arrive late, if that is you best, safest course of action.

Of course, local conditions vary for every one of our Montessori House families.  Please exercise caution, and only bring your child to school if, and when, you consider it safe to do so.

The office will be closed, and private and group violin lessons at school are also canceled.  We expect to return to our normal schedule and hours on Thursday, January 13.

Enjoy the winter weather!

We urge every family to evaluate whether the trip to and from school today is hazardous based on local conditions, and adjust their child’s day accordingly.  

As snow accumulates, this may apply especially to afternoon students, who may choose to stay home.  And for full-day students,  feel free to come early to pick up your child today.  Come to the door and announce yourself over the intercom.  It will then take about 5 to 10 minutes to get your child ready and bring her/him to the door to meet you. 

Be safe!

Classes will be in session on the normal schedule tomorrow, Wednesday.

Remember, for the balance of this week the parking lot entrance on Knickerbocker is closed due to construction.  Enter and exit only from Riveredge, and use only the east parking lot.  The roadway between the school and playground will be closed for drop-off and pick-up.
