MSNV's evaluation procedures follow Montessori's advice to "believe in all the good that lies hidden in the child, and prepare ourselves to recognize it with loving concern; only in this fashion will we gradually begin to assess the child correctly."
PARENT INVOLVEMENT
MSNV is a school for children, but its mission embraces families as well. Children at MSNV are proud of their school, their achievements, their friends. When a child's parents share his or her experiences at MSNV, the child's sense of self-confidence, accomplishment and self-esteem is reaffirmed and strengthened. MSNV is a parent-owned cooperative, and parent involvement is vital to the school's success. The elected Board of Trustees, responsible for overall governance, is comprised of parents, and parents have traditionally given their time and talents through classroom participation such as special projects, cultural presentations and celebrations, and field trips. Parents are always welcome to visit MSNV to learn more about their child's educational experience.
