Resource for Families
Our contact at the Early Learning Coalition has shared a very helpful resource and we wanted to ensure that our families could use this as well:
Parent Resource: Warm-Line
Do you have a concern about your child?
The Warm-Line helps families with:
- Concerns about your child’s growth or development
- Concerns about your child’s behavior
- Classroom accommodations and intervention strategies
- Referrals to other agencies
Call the Warm-Line at 786-433-3095 and an Inclusion Specialist will contact you to discuss your concerns and determine next steps.
Learn to Deal Poker
Every year, May Sands Montessori hosts a Poker Tournament as a fun, easy fundraiser for our school. We want to get a group of parents trained to deal poker so we have a pool of dealers available for these events. This is a fun way to earn service hours. Depending on volunteers' availability, we'll schedule at least one training session hosted and taught by Mark at the VFW. Please use the link below to sign up and indicate when you have general availability to attend a training session (weeknights, weekend days, etc). Christina will be reaching out to get the session scheduled. Thank you!

All Families Must Complete the Impact Aid Survey
ONLY 23 STUDENTS HAVE COMPLETED THIS!
Please log into the Parent Portal on the MCSD site to complete this survey for each student. Our school receives funding based on the results of this survey, so please fill it out even if it doesn't seem to apply to you.

You will need your child's Student Number. If you need it, please ask your lead guide or email Ms. Grace.
