Attendance & Lateness
Regular
attendance is essential to good progress in school. Should a student be
unable to attend for any reason, please contact the school as soon as
possible.
Dr. Montessori stated that work has a
beginning, a middle, and an end. It is not an overstatement to say that
a child deprived of the proper beginning by being late to arrive is
deprived of the most important part of his/her school day. It tends to
make him/her feel like an "outsider" because work has started before
he/she arrives. Although we understand that there is occasionally an
unavoidable delay, please make every effort to have your child/children
here by 9:00 a.m.

Emergency Weather Plan
For notification of Frost
Montessori School closings please refer to Channel 29 TV or visit this web site and check the Announcements page. We also change our
voice mail greeting on our telephone, so you may call the school in the
early morning hours.
If, while school is in session, you think the
roads are getting bad, please feel free to come for your child at your
discretion. We will never close school as long as children are in the
building.

photographer is contacted to take school pictures of all of the
children. Advance information on the dates and costs will be sent home.
You are under no obligation to purchase these pictures.

Pick-Up/Dismissal Authorization
The Frost Montessori School will only dismiss
children to a parent or those persons designated by the parents on the
Emergency Information Form. We will never allow a child to leave school with any unauthorized person. A child must provide written verification of any change in transportation arrangements.
Parents must pick their children up promptly. If
a parent has not arrived at the specified dismissal time, a staff
member will call a parent or other authorized person on the Emergency
Information Form. A staff member will remain with the child until an
authorized person has picked up the child from the school. Habitual
lateness cannot be tolerated. After 12:00 noon, the staff have
responsibilities working with the extended-day and full-day children.
We appreciate your promptness!! Not to mention that it is upsetting to
a child if he or she is not picked up on time.

School Record Forms
Annual Emergency Information Forms
Please be sure all addresses and telephone
numbers on your child’s form are kept current, and inform us
immediately in writing of any change. In the event of an emergency,
accident, or sudden onset of illness, the school will not hesitate to
seek proper care for your child and transport the child to the nearest
emergency room. You will be called immediately.
The child’s individual emergency form will be kept on file at the school.
Children’s Files
Teachers maintain observation notes, lesson
plans, cumulative records, conference reports, and an attendance record
on each child.
School Roster
An annual roster of enrolled children is
established for the use of staff and families (includes name, address,
email address, and phone numbers). The school roster is attached at the
back of this handbook.
All records and information on children are considered confidential. We request that the school roster not be used to solicit personal business.

T-Shirt/Sweatshirt School Spirit Day
First Friday of each month during the year, we ask that every
child wear a Frost Montessori T-Shirt or Sweatshirt. At the end of the
morning, wearing our t-shirts and sweatshirts, we come together with
all of the children to sing a couple of songs, and experience being
together as an entire school.
Last year’s fundraising effort, selling t-shirts
and sweatshirts, allowed us to have a flagpole placed in front of our
school. All future t-shirt and sweatshirt sales will go toward the
continued purchase of this flagpole. Attached is an order form for
t-shirts and sweatshirts if you would like to place an order. We
greatly appreciate your support !!

TUITION
Tuition
statements are not sent during the year. After the $275.00 deposit is
deducted, the remaining tuition is due in three payments by August 1, December 1, and March 1. There is a $25.00 fee for
returned checks.
In the event your child is withdrawn, tuition is
due for the remainder of the year and there will be no refund of any
fees that have been paid. Any waiver of tuition payments will be at the
discretion of the school. There is no reduction of tuition for illness,
family vacations, or cancellation because of bad weather or snow.
