For children 30 months to 5 years of age the Montessori program is called a CASA program.  At Willowglen we offer full and half day Casa programs five days per week.  Children must be toilet trained to begin classes at the Casa level.  We also offer a full day elementary program for students in grades 1 through 6.  </div> <bR> <div> In addition to the full Montessori curriculum,  Willowglen School includes French, music, art, physical education and computer instruction.  </div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Uniforms</U></B></div> <bR> <div> Students in the Casa and Elementary programs are expected to wear the school uniform.  Toddlers are not required to wear the school uniform however they should wear a plain white shirt. We feel that the wearing of uniforms encourages students to develop pride in their school and in themselves.  It also helps build a sense of community among the students.  All uniform items are expected to be clean and in good repair at all times.  Uniform items are available through <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.beattiesonline.com/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://www.beattiesonline.com/"><U><I><U>Beatties</U></I></U></A></FONT></div> <div>  </div> <div> <I><U> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="727" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 261 WIDTH="443"><div> <I><U>Uniform Requirements:</U></I></div> <div> Boys: Grey dress pants          Girls: Navy tunic</div> <bR> <div> White Shirt - button down dress shirt, or</div> <div>                     - turtleneck, or</div> <div>                     - golf shirt</div> <bR> <div> Navy cardigan or vest</div> <bR> <div> Black dress shoes</div> <bR> <div> Students should keep an extra set of clothing at school in case their clothes become wet at recess or because of a bathroom accident.</div> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="1cdebff0.jpg" border=0 width="235" height="255" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></U></I></div> <div>   </div> <div> <B><U>Daily Schedule</U></B></div> <div>      </div> <div>      <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >7:30 am  -  8:45 am       School Opens - Before School Programs for Registered Students</FONT></div> <div>      8:45 am  -  9:00 am       Students arrive for Morning Classes</div> <div>      9:00 am  -11:30 am        Morning Classes</div> <div>           11:30 am  -12:30 pm       Recess and Lunch Period</div> <div>           12:30 am  -  1:00 pm       Quiet Activity     </div> <div>      1:00 pm  -  3:30 pm       Afternoon Classes</div> <div>      3:30 pm  -  6:00 pm       After School Programs for Registered Students</div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Meals</U></B></div> <bR> <div> Students are given a snack in the morning and afternoon.  All full day students are served lunch.   Lunches are provided by  <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.boaden.com/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://www.boaden.com/"><U><I><U>Boaden Catering</U></I></U></A></FONT><A HREF="http://www.boaden.com/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://www.boaden.com/"><U> </U></A> .  Willowglen School is a nut free environment.</div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Student Evaluation</U></B></div> <bR> <div> There will be two written reports sent home during the year, although student evaluation is an ongoing process.  Evaluation for the pre-school students takes the form of informal observations, anecdotal comments and teachers' records of achievements.  </div> <bR> <div> Elementary students<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="WP TypographicSymbols" >=</FONT> evaluation will be expanded to include quizzes and diagnostic tests based on material covered in class.Willowglen School uses CAT3 testing for students in grade 3.
