Rowntree Montessori Schools Back to School Guide

2026-2027 Back to School Guide

Message from Interim Head of School Dear Members of the Rowntree Community, I hope you and your family are enjoying a wonderful and well-deserved summer. As we look ahead to the 2026–2027 school year, I am pleased to share next year's school calendar, along with important information to help you prepare for a successful start to September.

As I begin my role as Interim Head of School, I want to express how excited I am for the year ahead. Summer is an important time of planning and preparation across our campuses, and our dedicated team is already hard at work getting everything ready to welcome our students back. From preparing classrooms and enhancing learning spaces to welcoming new staff and students, every effort is focused on ensuring a positive and engaging start to the school year.

The coming year promises many exciting opportunities for our students to continue to learn, grow, and thrive. Whether through academics, leadership, athletics, the arts, or meaningful community experiences, we remain committed to fostering an environment where every child is challenged, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential. Our goal is to nurture not only academic excellence but also the confidence, character, and curiosity that will serve our students well throughout their lives.

One of the greatest strengths of our school is the partnership we share with our families. I look forward to working closely with you throughout the year as we continue to build a caring, inclusive, and vibrant school community where every child feels valued and supported.

Throughout the summer, please continue to watch your email for important updates as we prepare for September. Later this summer, you will also receive our Parent/Student Handbook, which will include key information, school policies, and helpful reminders for the upcoming school year.

I hope you enjoy a restful and memorable summer with your family and friends. We look forward to welcoming both our returning and new families back to campus this September and beginning another exceptional year together.

Warm regards,

Mrs. Emina Tihak Interim Head of School
