“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.”
― Dalai Lama XIV
We are grateful for every member of our fantastic community. Studies show that montessori children grow up to be happier adults. Montessori students are also reported to have elevated psychological well-being as adults. One contributing factor is that montessori students are able to participate in their own works and worthwhile activities. They also experience greater stability in their social lives as adults. All of these factors further emphasize the importance of our work here at Dealey. Someone's happiness depends on it.
We are happily heading into a new week!

Dismissal:
For dismissal your child may be going to a variety of clubs,
Clubs: Art, Soccer, Spanish, Tennis, Chess and we have a variety of drop off locations for these clubs. We will bring your child to their locations and ask that you pickup or meet your child at the location of pickup or play. (please do not wait with coaches as this adds congesting and confusion in this area) Siblings are not allowed to join other siblings at clubs if they are not on the team without the parent being there or coach permission.
Trail: All parents meeting their students must go to the trail. For safety reasons, do not cross Edgemere and walk over to the tennis court/carpool area. Meet your child down by the teacher parking lot or under the blue benches if it is inclement weather. (Not near the tennis courts) We ask that you do not take your children from the trail line until they are at this location and you do not wait any other place than the designated spot. Ms. Macias, Mr. Simms, or Ms. Morales will be there.
Bus: These students will go to the gym and then be dismissed from there to their buses with a staff member.
Carpool: Please do not exit your caWhen exiting carpool , please make a right only on Edgemere. We dismiss the earliest students at 3:30 and will come out to the blue benches at the far end of carpool. Primary parents, please have your sign (which you are all wonderful at) and we will get your child to you as quickly as possible.
For all: Please be sure to use the crosswalks to cross carpool.
If you have a friend or family member that is different from yourself picking up your child. Please send us a note to the teacher or call the office ahead of 3pm and be sure they have a photo id with them so that everyone can verify who the alternative pickup person is.
With so many little ones going so many places we are doing our best to ensure that we get your children to you in the smoothest and easiest way possible. We appreciate all you do to help with this each day! Thank you for following the process and for all you do to support our hall and your children each day!
