For preprimary students who have not attended TNSM before, we are offering 2 days of orientation for them to grow more familiar with the routines and rhythms of their new Montessori classrooms. Students are required to attend both days. Following their orientation, their next day of school is Wednesday, August 22 when school begins.

You are welcome to enter the classroom as early as 8:30 with your child. We ask that you spend 10 to 15 minutes doing a work with your child before teachers begin their orientation with students around 8:45.

Parents will have the opportunity to rent instrument and students will be able to take instrument home with them that evening.
