News from Urban Montessori

Dear Urban Montessori Charter School Supporter,

We hope everyone enjoyed a nice holiday season. The Urban Montessori Charter School (a K-8 public school slated to open in the Grand Lake neighborhood) founding team continues to move forward in hopes of opening our school this fall. Our charter application was submitted to Alameda County Office of Education in early December, and our next big milestone will be the actual charter hearing. Here are four ways you can help move the school closer to reality.

Attend our charter petition hearing. The Urban Montessori Charter School petition hearing will take place Tuesday February 8th, 6:30pm at the Alameda County Office of Education board room, 313 West Winton Ave, Hayward. We need as much public support as possible at the hearing. If you can be there with us please register here: http://cts.vresp.com/c/?UrbanMontessori/b8dfc6232d/4c7cd8f433/9db6c0be6c
Do you know someone on the Alameda County Office of Education Board of Directors? Put in a good word about Urban Montessori Charter School by sending your contact an email/letter or giving them a call! We are currently reaching out to board members about our program and any support we get from you is greatly appreciated!
Join one of our committees. Please see the committees listed below and sign up by replying to this email with the committee you are interested in joining! We are required by law to not offer admission preferences to families who volunteer, but it’s a great way to get involved in your community and help build a great school.
· Development

· Facilities

· Governance

· Human Capital

· Operations

· Outreach

· Programs

4. Be a fan on Facebook (click here) and invite your friends to join us as well. Our goal is to have 84 more "likes" so we can secure a unique URL from Facebook. Thanks!

We are excited to continue to work with all of you this year to open an amazing new school that will serve a diverse student population and become a public school model for others to follow. Without you we would not have gotten this far. Thank you for your ongoing support!

Happy New Year!
