Parent Communication

Parent communication is an important part of your child’s success at GMS. All of our teachers welcome the opportunity to discuss your child’s education and development. In addition to the Parent Communication Folders we use to send home announcements, letters and flyers, we also offer our website to keep you informed of GMS news.
Our classrooms are unique in that our teachers spend the entire school day with students. Therefore conversations and conferences must occur on scheduled conference days or after school hours.

Parent/Teacher Conferences
Conferences for student evaluation are held two times during the school year in fall and spring, as listed on the school calendar. These days are set aside from the school calendar each year for parents to avail of the opportunity to discuss their child’s progress. As valuable as conferences are to parents and teachers, it is your child who benefits the most.

During the two weeks prior to the conference dates, parents are asked to sign up for a scheduled conference. It is the responsibility of parents to schedule a time with their child’s teacher. Parents who can not meet in person should schedule a telephone conference for the conference day. Parent input forms will be sent home for parents to complete and should be submitted prior to the conference.


Special Conferences
Parents or teachers as needed may request special conferences. To contact your child’s teacher, you may:
* Call school and leave a brief message
* Send a written note
* Email the school at: office@greenvillemontessori.com

Your child’s teacher will reply as soon as feasible (generally within the next 48 hours). Should your call require immediate attention, all efforts will be made to accommodate you. Please remember that class or carpool time is not an appropriate time for ‘mini conferences’.

Messages
It is important that your child comes to school aware of plans for the day ahead. In the event that significant plans change, you may contact the school and leave a message for your child’s teacher or a message to be relayed to your child.

GMS Commitment Promise

The ‘GMS Commitment Promise’ involves each family contributing 10 hours of work service to the benefit of our school community. Community building opportunities are wide and varied so that everyone can participate.

When parents volunteer, they not only provide valuable support and assistance, they also act as a link between the school and home environments. Time and time again, studies have shown that the greater the extent of parental involvement, the higher the academic gains, pride and satisfaction their child experiences. Parents who volunteer at our school help to create a true feeling of family at GMS.

Thank you for choosing Greenville Montessori School.
We pledge to treat your child & family with courtesy, respect & kindness.
