Dear Prestonwood Montessori Families,

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Meet the Teacher! It was such a wonderful event filled with smiles, hugs, and excitement for the year ahead. We can’t wait to kick off another amazing school year!

Today’s kickball event was the perfect way to keep the momentum going — it was so great seeing our families laughing, playing, and enjoying time together.

This year, our theme is “Our Journey, Our Design” — a reminder that every step we take together shapes the unique story of our school. Here’s to making this year’s chapter one of our best yet!

Best wishes,

Ashley Toole and Adriana Low
Principal and Assistant Principal

Meet the Teacher & Kickball Event

We appreciate everyone who came out for Meet the Teacher! If you weren’t able to attend, forgot to pick up your car tag, or still need to drop off supplies, you can stop by on Monday between 8:15–9:15 a.m.

Pre-K Dismissal

Pre-K: This year, Pre-K (along with their siblings) will follow a new dismissal procedure. Please review the diagram carefully to ensure a smooth pickup.
Pre-K: For at least the first week of school, we are going to start dismissal early at 2:15 pm instead of 3:15 pm, to assist our youngest learners with the complexities of a "Big Kid" dismissal process.

Message from Primary

Pre-K Families:
Please pack an extra set of clothes in your child’s backpack each day in case of an accident. Our uniform closet has limited items, and having their own spare clothes ensures they’re comfortable and ready to learn.

Primary Families:
Instead of individual supply lists this year, our Primary Guides have created a DonorsChoose project that will provide the materials all Primary classrooms need. Your support—whether big or small—will directly benefit every child in our Primary community. We kindly ask that you consider donating if you are able.

Arrival & Dismissal

Arrival (7:30 - 8:00 AM)

Please note there is one lane only for drop-off. Cars should pull forward as much as possible, and our staff will be there to assist children in the unloading zone. Older students who are comfortable may exit the car on their own.

Once inside:

Pre-K–3rd grade students will go directly to their classrooms, where breakfast will be served.
4th–6th grade students will head to the cafeteria to enjoy breakfast.

⏰ Arrival Time
School doors close promptly at 8:00 a.m. During the first two weeks of school, we’ll allow a 5-minute grace period as families adjust. Beginning the third week, 8:00 a.m. will be a firm cutoff.

If you arrive after the doors are closed, please park and walk your child to the foyer to sign the late log before they head to class.

Dismissal (3:15 - 3:30 PM)

As our community grows, we will now have two dismissal processes:

Kinder–6th grade: Please watch the video for a step-by-step overview of this process.
Pre-K: This year, Pre-K (along with their siblings) will follow a new dismissal procedure. Please review the diagram carefully to ensure a smooth pickup.
Pre-K: For at least the first week of school, we are going to start dismissal early at 2:15 pm instead of 3:15 pm, to assist our youngest learners with the complexities of a "Big Kid" dismissal process.

🚗 For both pick-up lines, please remember to:

Have your car tag visible (these will be handed out at Meet the Guide).
Avoid using your phone while in line.
Be patient—the dismissal process always takes longer during the first few weeks of school as everyone adjusts.

⏰ Pickup Time
When the process runs smoothly, 3:30 p.m. is considered late pickup. Just like with arrival, we will allow a short grace period during the first two weeks while families adjust to the new routines.

👉 Important for Pre-K Families: If you arrive after 3:30, please join the main car line on the Wozencraft side for pickup.
