Pre-School, Kindergarten & Elementary School Parent Resources

Picture

Communication

SCDS now uses Transparent Classroom, a specialized tool for online record keeping and parent communication. Through Transparent Classroom, parents have real-time access to their own child's progress in each subject area. 

Parents also automatically receive texts/emails with pictures that we take of their child at work, and have access to a database of lesson descriptions (which provide a deeper insight into what the children are working on at school).

Parent Nights

We welcome parents to join us five evenings per year, as we provide the opportunity to delve into a chosen topic through the lens of Montessori and Shaarei Chinuch's teaching philosophy. It is also a time to connect with other parents and staff members and strengthen the Shaarei Chinuch community.
