Family Handbook
The Ocean State Montessori School’s Family Handbook
is published for members of the OSMS community for the purpose of providing information on aspects of student life so that students and families may gain as much as possible from their experience at the OSMS. The Handbook is informed by the Montessori pedagogy, the OSMS’s vision and mission statements, and our core community values. Students, parents/guardians, faculty, administration, and staff should all read and be familiar with the contents of the Handbook, so that each member of the community knows and understands the expectations of students and their families within our community.
OSMS Community Agreement
The Ocean State Montessori School has two rules: Be Respectful and Be Safe. The Community Agreement is a series of positive statements developed by our faculty and Head of School about how our two school rules are enacted in our day-to-day behavior at OSMS. We expect our students, their families, and our faculty and staff to follow these guidelines.
