Extended Studies students just wrapped up their final week in their Africa Unit. Throughout the first quarter, students adventured to ancient West African Kingdoms and researched about their lives and folktales. Students then used this information to make replicas of their artifacts, masks, and textiles. Take a peek at what we've been up to!

They truly exemplify our Montclair Family Pledge, “We take ownership of the expectations and procedures to create a safe, respectful, and loving learning environment.” We are grateful for such professionals!

The Montclair Elementary Certified Schoolyard Habitat was improved last weekend as the BGNF donated Red Maple trees. The trees will create an area for our scholars to explore the wildlife that will make the new Red Maple Cove their home. We are grateful for the Lakeside Junior High School scholars who volunteered to make this happen and our partnership with the Boys and Girls Club led by Director Beth Davis. Soaring Like Monarchs!

Due to the unfavorable rainy weather overnight I have decided to postpone our 1st Quarter Flagpole to Wednesday, October 15th. Here is a new flyer to register if you haven't already. Anyone currently registered for tomorrow will not have to do this a second time as the QR code is the same. We will still have OPHS scholars visiting for "High Five Friday" during morning arrival. Our scholars can look forward to the PFA's 1st Quarter Incentive with a free snow cone while exiting lunch tomorrow.

Principal Miller's PBIS Rewards School Store 2025-26 has officially opened for the 1st Quarter. The store opens at the end of each quarter so our scholars can spend their PBIS Reward points for meeting our school’s expectations posted on our Be Board. The store has grown through business and faith-based partnerships, as well as several grants. We are in need of parent volunteers to help our scholars cash in their rewards. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0B4AA8A92CA6FBCE9-59075555-pbis
