Dear Families,
We are excited to begin planning for the 2023-24 school year! Please complete the Student Information Form. This provides us with valuable information about your child’s learning style as we begin working on class placement.
The class placement process takes many hours of careful thought and consideration. We always consider the individual child while recognizing that each child is also part of a complex equation. We evaluate learning abilities, class size, social and academic strengths and challenges, diversity, as well as positive and non-constructive relationships to create balanced, high quality learning environments for all students.
We will make every effort to ensure friends are placed in the same class when possible. Rest assured that our child will see friendly and familiar faces when they return to school. Your child’s teacher knows your child well and will place them with their best interests in mind.
You can provide your child with a successful beginning to the school year by responding to their classroom assignment with positive enthusiasm. We can all work together to enhance personal development and provide a positive school climate for all.
Please fill out the student information form by March 31, 2023. Thank you for your understanding as we prepare for next school year.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Amy
The Third Grade class had an Unveiling Ceremony with popsicles
to celebrate the new Class of 2032 Way! The Third Grade Class raised
the most money during the Mighty Aviator Dash in the Fall! They voted
and waited patiently for the new sign to be made and the weather to be
nice enough to celebrate! Congrats third grade!
Huge accomplishment for the Montgomery Elementary First Lego League robotics team! On March 18th the team participated in the regional festival held at Loveland High School and brought home the Team Build Award.
Our team name is the Exploding Lego Energy Kittens. Team members are Charlie Stewart (2nd grade), Brynn Mitchell (3rd), Claire Kahl (3rd), Ryan Speiller (3rd), Aiden Pinsky (3rd) and Anjana Kota (4th).
The team performed well, displayed great teamwork and conducted themselves with gracious professionalism to represent Montgomery Elementary.
Thanks,
Brodie Mitchell and Kristine Kahl (coaches)

Dear Montgomery Families,
1) Tonight (Friday, March 31) is Cultural Heritage Night at Montgomery Elementary! The fun starts at 6:30. Come on out for food, games, and music from the many cultures represented right here in Montgomery!
2) Fundraising Planning and Chairs: We need help. One of our main goals as a PTO is to continue independent fundraising. Last year, we were able to successfully branch away from third party involvement and we're looking to build upon that success. We are asking for volunteers to help coordinate the various aspects of the fundraiser.
Please click HERE to review, or sign up for, the volunteer positions and please reach out to Elizabeth and Kristy with any questions at mtptovpwaymeans@sycamoreschools.org Volunteers will have the full support and guidance of our VP's. Thank you for your consideration and support!
3) March General PTO Meeting was held on Wednesday morning and featured a presentation from the Greene administration discussing transitioning from 4th grade to 5th grade. A recording of that presentation along with the slides that were presented is available on the website (click HERE).
Upcoming events:
April 14: Jungle Book musical
April 28: 6:30 - 7:30 Family Trivia Night. Come ready to flex your knowledge muscles and win lots of prizes! This will be held at the Montgomery Elementary School, in the cafeteria.

Spirit Wear Donations Needed
Operation Give Back wants your spirit-wear.
Spring cleaning or just have too much?? Operation Give Back is collecting gently used spirit wear…Sycamore, UC, OSU, Bengals, FC, Reds etc. Smaller sizes always needed, but will take all sizes. We use these to provide each Sycamore student, receiving a backpack at the School Supply Giveaway, a Sycamore shirt to start the year and our Holiday Store provides child/family member with spirit wear, as well! During the Sweet 16/March Madness event, each OGB child in the after school program gets a shirt to support a local team or team in the Sweet 16. Please drop in bins located at each school, or at Operation Give Back at 10891 Millington Ct, or let Becky Dawson becky5623@aol.com know and I can pick up.
