Parent Participation
We encourage and welcome parental involvement. Many of the unique activities of a Montessori school are made possible by the voluntary efforts of parents and other individuals. Supporting the school, your children, and the community is an integral part of the Montessori philosophy.
Parental involvement in the school does much to ensure that the Montessori program is a rich, total learning experience for each student. Some of the activities for parent-student interaction relate directly to the classroom education of MANT students. For example, parents may:
- Volunteer a few hours a week to help in the office, read to children, or assemble instructional materials
- Organize school-based social activities
- Lend your time and support to our fund raising efforts
- Help out in the library
- Volunteer to be an Ambassador Family to parents new to the school.
- Serve on one of the schoolÕs committees
- Contribute an article to the school newsletter
- Help teachers organize field trips or special lessons
- Help organize special events
- Volunteer your time to help the school prepare major mailings
- Teach a specialized afternoon class.
- Help our students work in the ChildrenÕs Garden
- Share your talents and special interests, such as a musical instrument that you play, a second language that you speak, a craft that you enjoy, or a field that youÕve studied
- Serve as a class parent
