Thank you to everyone who participated in our 2025-26 Volunteer/Substitute Workshop in person on August 28, 2025! 

To be eligible for subbing or volunteering for going out trips this school year, currently enrolled families must complete the workshop and the attached questionnaire, including a background check. This requirement also applies to Early Ed families who wish to observe at the window. 

Even if you’ve subbed before, attending each year ensures you stay updated on the latest procedures. Remember, you'll always assist another teacher in the studio.

For those unable to attend in person, we’ve provided the workshop video and key materials. These include:

• Presentation PDF - Follow along with the video

• Communications Hints Handout

• Resources to Support Montessori Parenting

• Early Ed Adult Commitments

• Elementary Adult Commitments

• Adolescent Adult Commitments

• Community Montessori Glossary

Please review the video and complete this questionnaire. After submission, it could take a few weeks to complete your background check before you will be added to our substitute/volunteer pool. Please note that completing these steps are required before you come in to observe your child in the early education program.

If you signed up to be a substitute, our staff substitute coordinator, Tracy Pickman-Yates, will contact you once all your steps are completed. 

We sincerely appreciate your support and involvement in our school community!
