I am excited to share an update on the progress of our building project! As you may recall, we first communicated with you about this exciting venture last spring. The initial phase involves selling our Early Elementary Campus on Middlebelt Road. Over the past several weeks, our realtor has welcomed several groups of interested buyers for tours. We have received positive feedback and are hopeful that we will be moving toward the next steps soon.

Please know that students at the Early Elementary Campus will remain at the Middlebelt Road location through the end of the 2026–2027 school year. As part of the sale agreement, we will include a leaseback arrangement that will allow us to continue using the building for an appropriate period of time, ensuring we can transition to the new campus smoothly and at the right time.

Additionally, Mrs. Lloyd and I have been meeting with our architect team regularly. We recently made selections for the interior design package for paint color, tile, and flooring. We're very excited with the progress the team is making!

In Partnership,

Mrs. Curd

Deliciousness is on its way! We are running a fundraiser from November 1st - November 30th, to raise money for American Montessori Academy's Athletics Programs. Thank you for supporting American Montessori Academy Athletics! Your donations fund our team uniforms, equipment, tournament fees, and travel costs, helping us build a stronger sports program for our student-athletes. Go Trailblazers!. We need your help to make this happen. Stay tuned on how you can join in on the fun!

The purpose of Title I parent night is to inform parents about federal Title I funding, explain how the school supports student achievement in subjects like reading and math, and outline how families can partner with the school.
