Montessori Parent Interest Meeting
Wednesday, February 11
6 p.m.
at Boundary Street Elementary School
INDIVIDUALIZED - Montessori is a hands-on discovery approach to teaching and learning. It tends to discourage traditional competitive measurements of achievement, such as grades and tests, and instead focuses on the individual progress and development of each child. Children of different ages share the same classes and are encouraged to collaborate and help one another.
SPECIALIZED - Specialized educational materials are used to keep children interested, and there is an emphasis on "practical life skills." The main goal of Montessori education is to provide a stimulating, child-oriented environment in which children are mastering the South Carolina state standards.
The Montessori program in Newberry County serves ages three through fifth grade at Boundary Street Elementary, Gallman Elementary and Newberry Elementary School. Students must reside in the zoned school to be eligible for Montessori.

We know you may have heard recent talk about the government shutdown and the possibility of changes or suspensions to food and nutrition programs like SNAP and WIC benefits starting in November. We want to assure you that this will not affect your student's school meals. Your child will continue to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at no charge as part of our district’s participation in the Community Eligibility Program (CEP), regardless of any national program changes. We hope that you will encourage your children to take advantage of this offering. Eating a nutritious breakfast and lunch everyday at school helps your child excel. If you have any questions or if we can be of any other assistance, please feel free to contact your child’s school.
Thank you.
Dr. Chan Anderson
Interim Superintendent
