Dear Tobin Families,
Thank you again for your continuous support with the increased security measures that have been put in
place over the past two weeks. I am writing to let you know that building security continues to be one
of my top priorities as the Principal of Tobin Montessori. Joey Huber and I are working closely with the
administrative team of Vassal Lane Upper School to not only set new protocols for our entire
community, but also to ensure that our policies are streamlined.
To maintain a safe environment at Tobin Montessori, we have a created a new protocol for visitors. At
all times, parents, guardians and guests should only enter and exit the building via the front, main
entrance. As some of you know, this new protocol has impacted our dismissal procedures for students
who do not take the bus. We will no longer be dismissing children from the cafeteria.
Our new protocol for Tobin Montessori Student Dismissal:
ALL Bus Students:
- escorted to their appropriate bus by a Tobin staff member
Upper El./Lower El. Pick Up Students:
- dismissed on the ramp at the main entrance to a parent or guardian (unless written
permission has been given to another adult)
Children’s House Students:
- will be dismissed from their classroom to a parent or guardian (unless written permission
has been given to another adult)
Cub’s Corner Students:
- will be dismissed from the Cub’s Corner classroom to a parent or guardian (unless
written permission has been given to another adult)
Thank you for your understanding and help with creating a safe and secure school. Although we have
experienced challenging events, it is clear that our Tobin Community is stronger than ever!
Best,
Jaime
