Families

Family involvement is a crucial component to a complete and fulfilling Montessori education. With effective communication and shared knowledge, staff and family members work together to create an environment for students that is conducive to learning and beneficial to their emotional, mental, social and physical well-being. At Craig Montessori, we invite families to participate in their child’s learning and discovery.

Family and Community Involvement Policy and Compact

Craig Montessori offers families a neighborhood-based school with a Montessori focus. Our staff recognizes the importance of building a strong network among the school, the family and the larger Milwaukee community in order to create a successful educational environment for our children.

At Craig Montessori, we are committed to a full partnership with families and the community in the education of our children. To that end, we will:

• Hold annual September and March Open House events where information about our educational program will be shared.
• Provide a monthly calendar of events that will take place at a variety of times to facilitate the involvement of our families.
• Promote involvement in a School Governance Council and Parent Teacher Organization that will meet at times that accommodate the schedules of families and staff members.
• Gather information related to school needs as well as the implantations and evaluation of the school educational plan.
• Regularly provide information about curriculum, assessments and individual student progress.
• Provide ongoing assistance to families and staff members to improve our ability to support each other in the education of our children.
• Involve parents in the development and implementations of plans to inclusively address both Special Education and regular education needs of students.
• Facilitate family participation by addressing barriers (such as child care needs) and challenges (such as transportation) to family involvement.
• Provide a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for families in our school and classrooms.
