Welcome New and Returning Montgomery Families!

Welcoming Day for Prekindergarten through 8th grade will be held on Thursday, August 29th. It is a busy day, and we have a number of events planned, so please read the schedule below to see what events you should plan to attend on this day. Attendance on Welcoming Day often ensures a more comfortable first day of School for students. Kindergarten through 8th grade students must wear their School uniform to Welcoming Day.

New Family Luncheon: 11:30 AM- 1:00 PM

All new Lower School families are invited to the New Family Luncheon, which will be held in the Dining Room. Please plan to arrive on campus at 11:30 am. Parents may park in any available parking spaces on campus and proceed to the Dining Room to register. There you will have lunch with your children, mentor families and other Montgomery School community members. At 12:15 pm you will meet with Drew Cocco (Director of Enrollment), Susan Marotta (Lower School Head) and Sally Keidel (Head of School). At the end of this session, all new families should report to Bell Hall to check in, and then proceed to your child's classroom to meet the homeroom teacher.
