PARENT PARTICIPATION POLICY  2009-2010

CMS prides itself in making a Montessori education available through competitive tuition rates and fees.

An important factor in CMS's success is parent participation. Participation fosters a strong community spirit as people work toward a common goal and models for our children the Montessori principle of being a responsible, giving member of one's community. In addition, participation allows us to keep costs down for services that would otherwise require payment.

Having a 100 percent participation enables CMS to provide affordable and competitive services while fostering community spirit through appropriate modeling behaviors. CMS has numerous opportunities for participation; we are confident that we have appropriate opportunities for any interest.

To help address this issue effectively, CMS has implemented a mandatory Parent Participation Policy that will require each family to provide 20 hours of service to the school for the 10 months between August 1 and May 31.
