Answering Your Observation Questions
October 06, 2026
We are thrilled that so many parents/guardians have elected to participate in classroom Observations! Below are some of the thoughtful questions families asked this past week.
Questions from Primary Families: CLICK HERE FOR THE ANSWERS!
• How does discipline work?
• How is small group instruction determined?
• How often do students get 1:1 instruction?
• How often are students invited to small-group instruction?
• When children have mastered a lesson, do teachers acknowledge it?
• How do teachers know when it's time to challenge children with a new lesson?
• How is picking up taught, fostered, and reinforced? How can we help encourage this at home?
• When children abandon their work without finishing and/or putting it away, what do you do?
Questions from Elementary Families: CLICK HERE FOR THE ANSWERS!
• If a child is uninterested in a particular subject, how do teachers ensure the student is still proficient?
• How is science work encouraged outside lessons, especially for students who don't naturally gravitate toward it?
• How does Springmont approach the introduction of technology and computing into the curriculum?
• How does Springmont approach AI and how it is changing how the community learns?
If you shared a question that is not answered here, please look for a reply from your child's teacher or contact Toddler/Primary Division Head Anne Ledoux or Elementary Division Head Patricia Jordan. We look forward to seeing YOU in our Observation seats and hope you will share your questions!
Springmont Share & Care Drop & Go - Oct 14
October 06, 2026
It’s officially autumn, which makes it the perfect time for a closet clean-out! We’re excited to introduce Springmont Share & Care, a community clothing drive rooted in sustainability and generosity. Give the items you’ve outgrown a chance to be loved again while supporting a place that means so much to our students and the broader Springmont community.
"Drop & Go" Collection Date: Wednesday, October 14
8-9 am & 3-4 pm at the Activity Court
Our Drop & Go system makes donating quick and easy while helping prevent traffic build-up during busy carpool hours. Simply pull up to the Activity Court curb, remain in your vehicle, and an event volunteer will come to your front passenger-side window to collect your donations.
We’re accepting gently worn children’s fall and winter clothing & shoes in sizes 2T - 10/12. To help us make the most of every donation, please ensure all items are:
- Clean and in excellent condition
- Neatly folded
- Packed in a bag or recyclable box
The clothing sale will take place on campus during the Springmont Festival & Montessori Mile on Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 9:30 - 11:30 am in the Pavilion. All families are invited to shop the sale, with 100% of proceeds directly benefiting Springmont's Landschool. All remaining items will be donated to The Tender Foundation.
Thank you for helping us care for our planet while supporting our community.
