Parent Involvement Program

Research has found that a Parent Involvement Program is one way for parents, especially working parents, to participate more in their child's education, and at the same time to be more connected to the school. At Rising Star Montessori School we really encourage building a partnership between our families and our school. We require each family to contribute up to a maximum of 20 parent work hours to the school or to pay up to a $200 Parent Involvement Fee.

Each family has 8.5 hours required work hours. We require parents to:

1. Attend the Parent Education Night .

2. Support the Fall Harvest Festival with at least 2 work hours.

3. Come to Parent Workdays and work at least 3 hours. (Two parents coming from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm on one of these days can do 12 parent hours in one day!)

4. Assist your child's teacher as Classroom Helper with at least 2 hours of work.

With higher levels of parent involvement, great rewards are brought to both the children and the school. Our expenses are reduced, tuition can be kept as low as possible, and your children benefit from the success of the activities and events at school.
