Principal's Corner
Hello Montgomery Families,
Please remember to send in any change of transportation in writing to the office prior to 3 pm. There have been a lot of changes to transportation later in the day and changes that are only being sent to the teacher.
Unfortunately, this has led to some very chaotic situations for families and students. It is a challenge to get 530 students to the correct place daily. We are always happy to work with you, but we do need the information in a timely manner and to the correct staff members.
Emails must be sent to the office at MTattendance@sycamoreschools.org prior to 3 pm. We understand that emergencies happen and you will need to contact us after the 3pm time, but that should be a rarity.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
Dr. Debelak

Dear Montgomery Families,
Please mark your calendars for the following events. Note that the March PTO meeting has changed from an evening meeting to a day time meeting.
Upcoming events:
March 29: 9:30am General PTO Meeting. This will be held at the Montgomery Elementary School Cafeteria. Principal Jay Meno and members of the team at the E.H. Greene school will be presenting transitional information for 4th grade students moving to E.H. Greene. This will be an excellent opportunity to meet some of the staff members and ask questions in a smaller setting. More information will be available as the date approaches.
March 31: Cultural Heritage night at Montgomery Elementary. We are fortunate to have such a diverse student body at Montgomery and we are looking for families who are willing to share more about their culture. We are asking that any families interested and willing to provide information or food at a booth during cultural heritage night on March 31st, sign up to make this a memorable event! We will be holding an informational Zoom session in February to provide more details about the event and to answer any questions! Click HERE to view the form
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.
