Greetings,

We would like to thank all of you for your patience, support, and well wishes during this time of crisis.  Fortunately we have good news!  We have found a location that is close by that has agreed to house the school until the bridge can be rebuilt!  Yes, this means that school can start up again soon!  We plan to move on Monday and start class again on Tuesday.  Thank you again for your patience!

Family of God Lutheran Church

Family of God Lutheran ChurchWe consider ourselves very fortunate and blessed to have found a great space for the school so quickly.  Until further notice, Barker Creek Montessori will be housed at Family of God Lutheran Church on the corner of Fairgrounds and Central Valley Road.  This church is roughly only a mile away from the school's normal campus.  They have been very gracious in offering to provide us this space.  They have Sunday School rooms that are not used during the week where we can set up.  Drop off and pick up will also work well because they have a large parking lot and a separate door by the classroom.  Your child's class will have the same teachers, the same materials and the same hours.  If you have any questions please feel free to call me on the school phone: 698-0706 or my home phone: 692-3755.  Once school starts up we will be using a cell phone that will be kept at the location.  The number is (360) 509-9126.  Thank you for your flexibility!

School Make Up Days 
We always keep track of the school days missed because of snow or other circumstances.  Whenever there are more than 4 days missed during the year, those days are made up at the end of the school year (at no additional cost to you.)  Due to this situation we have missed 5 days so far this year.  This means that we will have at least one make up day at the end of the year and any additional snow days we have this year will also be made up then.
Help for Moving Day
Many of you have kindly expressed an interest in helping us when and where possible.  Here is your chance!  If you are interested in helping to move the school over to our new location on Monday, December 10 please come to Barker Creek via Creekside Lande between 9:00 - 9:30.  The materials are already boxed up.  We hope to get everything moved over in the morning and then the teachers will spend the rest of the day setting up the classroom.  Extra hands and vehicles in the morning would be greatly appreciated!  Please call if you have questions.  (Diana's Home:  692-3755, School: 698-0706.)
Sincerely,

What Happened???

 Bridge
I'm sure you are curious about what happened to the bridge.  The water from the creek rose higher than it ever has in the 17 years since we have been here!  It rose to the level of the bridge and water got behind the foundation which compromised the structure of the bridge.  Engineers from Parametrix have already been by to start the process of designing, permitting and rebuilding.  The process will probably take several months and we will keep you updated.   We are extremely thankful that nobody was hurt!
