AMS Parent Resources

At Alexander Montessori school, we are always encouraging and empowering children to be helpers.  In line with our school motto, “Help me to help myself, so that I may help others,” we strive to inspire children to be empathetic, compassionate, and self-motivated.

The start of the school year can be a hectic and stressful time for teachers, students, and parents.  The long, slow days of summer with abundant free time and less structure have come to an end and now we need to shift to a more fast-paced school schedule.  Getting back into a schedule and back into the swing of things at school can be a difficult transition for children.  From the early morning wake up to having more responsibilities and homework, many students are resistant to acclimating back to the school routine.  So how can you make this challenging transition smoother?
