Montessori Expectations

Student Expectations

This year at Montessori, we are thrilled to share an exciting new chapter in our schools journey. As part of our commitment to strengthening school culture, enchancing student success and fostering a nurturing learning environment, Montessori is launching our SOAR initiative. SOAR represents the core values that will guide our students each day.

SOAR stands for:

  • SAFE
  • ON TASK
  • ACCOUNTABLE
  • RESPECTFUL

In addition  to following the SOAR principles:

All students at Montessori Academy No. 53 must adhere to our uniform policy each school day.

Students and parents must follow the expectations outlined in our student-parent compact and in accordance with the RCSD Code of Conduct.

During the school year, your child's class may plan a field trip to explore and learn within the Rochester community. Families are asked to ensure they provide back and needed documentation for their child to participate in these opportunities. More information is available by visiting our field trip page.

More details about all things Montessori 53 are available in our Student and Family Handbook. 

Visitation

  • Parents are welcome to visit their child’s Montessori classroom with expressed arrangement with the classroom teacher.
  • Please make sure that you’re wearing a Visitor’s Badge at all times.
     

Celebrations with Food

We LOVE when students want to celebrate their birthday with their friends at school. If you want to enhance the celebration by bringing food, NO NUTS PLEASE. Also, the celebration must take place after the child’s lunchtime, not to interfere with the lunch program. Contact your child’s teacher for more information.
