Hi DCS Montessori Families,
We are so grateful to our Elementary staff, parents, and students for enduring the recent heat while our air conditioning was down at the Main Campus due to a motor failure. The great news: the replacement motor is being installed TOMORROW!
Because this is a 400+ pound motor, a crane will be on site and will take up a large portion of the Main Campus parking lot. While about half the lot will remain available, we encourage families to consider alternate parking (Max Drive (the street just west of our Main Campus), across the street, etc.) to ensure the crane can move in and out smoothly.
Please note: This should NOT impact 8:05am arrival or 3:20pm dismissal car lines, but it may affect 11:30am Preschool dismissal as well as anyone trying to access our parking lot between 8:30am and 3:00pm.
Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and support as we complete this important repair!
With appreciation,
Mr. Jeromy, DCS Montessori Charter School

SUBSTITUTES NEEDED
Do you work from home or have a flexible schedule?
We are looking for Substitutes. Our greatest need will be in Primary, Middle School, and Specials classes (Art, Music, PE and Tech). Experience or other qualifications are not required, but Early Childhood Teacher (ECT) is most helpful.
If you are interested, please contact Ms. Sheila at Sheila.Wolfe@dcsdk12.org
In addition, we have a great need for Parent-Volunteers to help 30-60 minutes per day in Lower Elementary and Upper Elementary to help with lunch and/or recess supervision in the event that the Lead Teacher or Educational Assistant is absent. This is an unpaid position, an application is not necessary, and it may or may not be with your child's classroom. Contact Sheila Wolfe and your child's classroom teacher, if you have some availability.

Kon'nichiwa to our Visitors from Japan, a Global Opportunity in Friendship
日本からの訪問者、グローバルな友情の機会
Our Middle School students hosted 12 Japanese students from Nakamura Middle School while they were touring Colorado this week. Our students communicated using English and Japanese to welcome and introduce themselves, and to give our guests a glimpse of our daily schedule at DCS Montessori. We enjoyed a pizza lunch, played games, and shared some lively conversation with our new friends. This was an amazing opportunity for our students to better understand the connections we can make, despite cultural differences or language barriers, and the interconnectedness of teens worldwide! Our visitors also went to the Museum of Nature & Science, the Colorado State Capitol, the Consulate General of Japan, Rocky Mountain National Park, and a Rockies game while they were in Colorado.
Sayōnara! Peace, love, and safe travels to our new friends!
平和、愛、そして安全な旅が私たちの友です。
