Families
Community Council
The Community Council is made up of Salem Montessori staff and family members. It works together to foster a strong sense of community, encourage active involvement, and provide support for the entire SMS community.
Partnering with SMS
Parents/caregivers are the child’s first and most important teachers, making them a vital part of their school journey. At our school, we see the learning environment as an extension of the home, where the partnership between family and school plays a key role in supporting the child’s growth and development.
Healthy snack ideas
We are a nut-free school! Students will bring their snacks and, when needed, lunch to school. Please label the snack containers with your child’s name. A good rule of thumb is to provide snacks that include one from each category: fiber+protein+healthy fat. Click for a few examples.School supply list
We adults think a lot about school success for the children we love. As we think about the cognitive and social skills that children need, we can sometimes overlook the practical skills that are the foundation for learning.
