We have IMPORTANT news for Stanford students! We, in conjunction with Hull-Jackson, have the opportunity for a Montessori pathway school through 8th grade! This option is open to current 4th grade students and also to 5th grade students who attended Stanford or Hull-Jackson last year. In order for the program to be established we need a minimum of 45 commitments for the 2012-2013 school year. A pathway form will be sent home in your child’s backpack, which must be returned by the deadline. To read the letter from MNPS click here.
Preschool through 3rd grade students, who wish to STAY at Stanford, do not need to do anything at this time. A continuation form will be sent home in January where you can indicate your preference to attend Stanford in 2012-2013.
Students who are in 4th grade and PS-3rd grade students who wish to apply to a DIFFERENT school will need to complete the application process at this time. Please visit www.mnps.org for more information or to apply online. Paper and online applications must be received by December 2, 2011.
