March 10, 2025 Update:

Greetings, Robert Goddard Montessori Community,
Welcome back to another exciting week of teaching and learning! We hope you had a restful weekend and are ready for another great week ahead.
A huge shout-out to Ms. Roberson, Ms. De Silva, and our amazing volunteers for organizing such a fantastic Career Day! Your hard work and dedication made the event a meaningful and engaging experience for our students.
A special thank you as well to Mr. Easter for arranging the helicopter visit. It was a big hit once again and left our students in awe! We truly appreciate the effort that went into making this happen.
I want to remind everyone that our fifth-grade students will complete the MISA (Maryland Integrated Science Assessment) this week and our eighth-grade students will begin testing Tuesday, March 11 through Friday, March 14. Students need to arrive at school on time each day during this period. In addition, ensure that they are well-rested and eat a nutritious breakfast either at home or here at school.
We will conduct a lockdown drill this afternoon at 2:00 p.m. Our students are familiar with this process and understand the importance of emergency preparedness.
Let’s continue working together to make this a great week for our students. Thank you all for your dedication and commitment to their success!
A few reminders for the week:

• Please ensure students arrive on time each morning, ready to learn.

• Check our school’s communication platforms for any upcoming events or important announcements.

• Encourage your child to read daily and discuss their learning at home.
