School Forms

The Family-School Partnership
The American Montessori Society (AMS) is committed to promoting effective family-school partnerships through the following principles of good practice for member schools. Both the American Montessori Society, and the families it serves, recognize that effective partnerships are characterized by mutual respect, open communication, a shared commitment to collaboration, clearly defined responsibilities, and a common vision of the goals.

Participation
MCHD is most successful when parents make a commitment, at whatever level they can, to participate in the school experience.  Commitment can vary greatly from parent to parent: for some it may mean being a class parent to coordinate support for the teachers regularly, to others it may mean service on the Board of Directors or participation in Parents’ Association projects, and to others it may mean helping to move a mountain of mulch on grounds workdays or making a financial contribution. We encourage everyone to learn about the many opportunities for participation available to you, and to choose those that fit best with your personal interests and your available time and resources.
