Open House for DMA Parents Has been postponed to February 7th due to upcoming weather prediction.
Please join us for the Dublin Montessori Academy Annual Open House.  It is a time for parents to come into the classroom and see what works your child enjoys.  The date is Thursday, February 7th.  It will begin at 4:30 pm and concludes at 7:00 pm. 
 
School Closings
We have implemented a new alert system.  You will receive a text or voice call to alert you of school closings due to weather,  special events, scheduled days off, etc.  By now you should have received some messages, please let us know what you think or if you haven’t received the messages. 
Montessori classes will close when Dublin City Schools close, however we make every effort to keep the Extended Care program open.  You may call the school if you are in doubt, as the status of the school will be on the voicemail. 

Valentine’s Day Party
Our next celebration is fast approaching...another opportunity to spread good cheer to everyone!  On Thursday, February 14th, the children will celebrate Valentine’s Day.  We ask that every child bring in 24 signed Valentine cards for each class that they attend.  Classroom 1 PM has 20 total children. These cards should be in BLANK envelopes.  PLEASE DO NOT ADDRESS THE CARDS.  Special containers are also not necessary because the children will be making their own items in the classroom.  Although parents do not attend, if you are interested in contributing items for the party such as plates, napkins, cups, fruit, etc., please call the office at 614-761-2020 and we will let you know what your child’s teacher has requested.
