Community Meetings

Capitol Hill Montessori hosts regular meetings for families and community members. They include presentations by school staff and PTSO board members, and discussions about other community-related topics. Currently, these meetings are all virtual through online video conferencing.

You can see recordings of previous meetings here or visit & subscribe to our YouTube channel.

You can see the list of upcoming community meetings on the school calendar and get video connection information by joining the Friends of Montessori mailing list.

Ask Questions anytime!

We know that sometimes it can be difficult to attend evening events or to share thoughts in a larger group. To make participation easier, we’ve created this form through which you can submit anonymously any questions, ideas, or concerns that you would like addressed at the next meeting.

DCPS Student University

DC Public School administration has also created helpful videos that introduce families to virtual learning materials and other education and wellness for students.
