Dismissal Safety 

To help ensure the safety of all students and help manage our traffic flow at dismissal, we are asking that ALL those who participate in car pickup use their car tag, provided to each family on Welcoming Day.  This will help keep carline moving and thus reducing the back up onto Route 113. Please place the tag in the windshield, where the dismissal staff can see it.   If you need an additional car tag, please contact Patty Kirkner in the Farmhouse, and we are happy to provide one. Our local police have asked that all vehicles observe the 15 mph speed zone when pulling out of Montgomery School onto Route 113.  Thank you for your help!

Did He or Didn't He?

Don't forget to check out whether Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow today.  According to tradition, if Phil sees his shadow and returns to his hole, he has predicted six more weeks of winter-like weather. If Phil does not see his shadow, he has predicted an "early spring."  Let's hope Phil did not see his shadow.

Reporting Absences

When contacting the school to report that your child is absent or late, please email the teacher (LS) or advisor (MS) and also copy dismissal@montgomeryschool.org.  If you would like more information regarding procedures around school absence, please see page 10-11 of the Parent-Student Handbook, available on quicklinks.
