Application Process

All requests for teacher recommendations and Montgomery School transcript should be given directly to Mrs. Dowlin. Please complete the parent portion of each recommendation request being submitted. Requests for additional letters of recommendations should also be submitted in writing to Mrs. Dowlin.

  • The Placement Office will maintain an electronic secondary school placement file for each student. This file contains copies of all information sent.
  • The Placement Office will be sure the appropriate teacher receives the recommendation forms. We give teachers at least two weeks to complete recommendation forms. Please do not give requests for recommendations directly to the teacher. Otherwise, it will be difficult to track the requests.
  • The first trimester concludes just prior to the Thanksgiving break, therefore, recommendations and first trimester grades will be sent out the second week of December.
  • Please notify in the event recommendations need to be sent prior to December 1st. Some schools have early deadlines, please check with the schools you are applying to for deadline dates.

I hope you find these guidelines helpful. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact either Heidi Dowlin or me by phone or email at jhall@montgomeryschool.org or hdowlin@montgomeryschool.org.
