Parent Commitment Policy
The
Montessori School of Maui staff is dedicated to establishing a relationship
with every family based on trust and respect; guided by the principles of the
Montessori approach to education. As a
school we are committed to providing an educational environment for all of our
students that provides the opportunity to develop academic excellence, a
compassionate perspective, social responsibility, environmental awareness, and
a love of learning.
One important component in determining a student’s success is the involvement of the family in their children's education. At the Montessori School of Maui we understand that every parent's involvement in their children's school life is essential. Our purpose is to provide a well-rounded learning environment for your children. Your love, support and participation provide the foundation for their success. Parents are expected to contribute to their child's education in the following ways:
On behalf of their children, parents are
expected to:
- Participate in
celebrations, events and programs so that their child will have memories
of good times as well as memories of a family who cared enough to be
involved.
- Attend Parent
Education Programs and make parenting responsibilities a priority.
- Observe their
child's classroom yearly, attend 2 Student Led Conferences, 1 Parent
Teacher Meeting every year, and attending the Journey of Discovery.
- Stay informed
by reading all student memos, handbooks, newsletters and school
correspondence.
- Follow all of the
precepts and guidelines of the Parent Handbook so that their child may
take full advantage of the educational opportunities offered by the
school.
To
support the Montessori School of Maui, families are expected to:
- Contribute to
the Annual Fund according to their ability, understanding that 100%
participation in this effort is requested of all parents.
- Participate in
the school's fundraising efforts.
- Complete your
Parent Participation requirement of 15 (fifteen) hours per family per
