We are deeply invested in partnering with our parents. We host two formal parent teacher conferences for every child each year, in addition to daily touch points with teachers during drop off and pick up. Each day, the teachers upload a “Daily Post” to our WMS app. This gives a quick glimpse of each day. Additionally, we send out a school wide bulletin each Sunday with important upcoming dates, as well as a bi-weekly newsletter with longer form information.
The Washington Market School hosts a variety of parent education events with expert guest speakers. We also offer regular Mug & Muffin gatherings where parents come to discuss everyday concerns with our educational leaders and one another.
Parents are invited to actively participate in classroom celebrations: holidays, birthdays and special events, as well as school-wide events like our Book Fair, Gala and Art Show. We know that you, as parents, need good friends and a strong community just as your children do, and we are pleased to provide a number of opportunities to nurture these relationships.
