Gibbs Elementary School

It was decent up until last year. I feel it has been nit picking. The rules only apply when they want them too. But your suppose to accept how the they hand out discipline. last year my son was asked to sign something stating he understood what his punishment for, when do we allow children under the age of 18 to sign for ANYTHING without a adult?? I told my child to NEVER sign anything with out me being there, jif this means they have to wait then so be it but his signature is to never be on anything with out me being present. Even talk with the superintendent she couldn't tell me where in their rules it said students under 18 are allowed to sign, I knew she wouldn't find it cause your not allowed to do it BY LAW!!.. be careful sending your children here and if you do please keep a watchful eye.

i have went to school here when i was in second grade now i am in 8th grade how fun is it you may ask but it is a lot of fun even when they tell you ghost stories bye-bye have fun now?

Canton Montessori is an amazing school, with excellent leadership and a fantastic collection of teachers and staff. Our youngest started there mid-year, after having a rough time at another school. Not only did his issues at school disappear in the first couple of days, but he LOVES CMS. How many 4 or 5 year olds do you know that literally run into school every morning? He is one of them, although we do less running now, because the school has helped build his confidence and sense of personal responsibility to the degree that we now "car-line" most mornings.CMS isn't afraid to give the students as much information as the student feels like they can handle. A couple of weeks after starting at CMS, our youngest broke into an explanation of the political conflict that led to the pilgrims leaving England, of the dangers of the voyage on the Mayflower and the challenges they faced when they got to North America (including a sidebar to explain some of the difficulties native Americans faced with their new neighbors). Another dinner conversation was about the decomposition (his word) of leaves in the fall, and what effect that has on the larger ecosystem. This is nearly every day; but he never complains about being forced to learn, instead each subject is brought up brimming with curiosity. And the teachers... we love them. We had our first "parent-teacher" conference, and our son's teacher not only explained in general terms where he was academically, but actually had copied notes and progress reports for each area of study and spoke fluently about his specific challenges and achievements (down to letters he needed practice on, and examples of his improved writing).
