DCS Montessori Charter School

Dear DCS Montessori Community,

We are excited to “Kick off” the 21-22 school year. We are excited to bring back full 5 days a week in-person learning. We will be returning to normal specials routines, more normal lunch routines, and normal recess routines in recognition of our student communities social and emotional development needs. We are looking forward to the return of Fun Run this fall, a tradition of healthy exercise to support our school and build school culture. We are passionately engaged in the opportunity to return to a more Montessori congruent method of education than we were able to implement in the past year with an emphasis on differentiating to our students’ ability levels, providing improved student choices, but with a strong emphasis on Montessori accountability. Last school year, our entire DCS Montessori (DCSM) community engaged in a strong emphasis in Reading, and while Reading is always an emphasis in any elementary school, we will shift our emphasis to Writing and written expression this year, especially in writing about our reading. Keep your eye out on how to engage in this with your student(s) at home as we look to make this a great year of academic growth in Writing!
