Student Resources

quote by Dr. Montessori: The greatest gifts we can give our children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.

An innovative model of education, the May Sands Montessori School offers child-centered learning environments that support pro-social learning and personal development as fundamental components of its design. The school staff supports the growing child’s independence by communicating expectations for scholarly behavior, aligning values that model good citizenship, and offering personalized feedback.

Instructional Continuity Support

The following information provides students and their families with the school’s practices for maintaining instructional continuity while on-campus instruction is not possible.

Technology Resources Forms

May Sands Montessori Students, Lead Guides, and other members of our Instructional Team use the Google Classroom platform as a modified instructional delivery method during crisis situations:

Emergency Broadband Benefit Program: https://getemergencybroadband.org/

Internet service provider search: https://www.broadbandsearch.net/service/florida/key-west

All students at May Sands Montessori School will use their school-district-issued ID to logon to the online learning community. Lead guides will send your UserName and Password in a separate, personal message to your primary contact.

This is the general convention for student UserName: [FirstNameInitial][LastName]

This is how student passwords are generally configured:  44[LunchNumber]0
