Welcome from the Head of School, Linda Jennings

Welcome to MOT Charter School!  MOT Charter School is a community of teachers, parents and students committed to one goal -- providing an enriching and challenging K-8 education to every student.  When you visit MOT Charter School, you will immediately sense that it is a very special school where successes are celebrated and differences are respected.  Parents, students and teachers work together in a safe and nurturing environment to ensure that every child excels to his or her ability.

 MOT CHARTER SCHOOL HAS ONCE AGAIN ACHIEVED THE RATING OF A SUPERIOR SCHOOL!


Thank you to everyone who attended our academic Nights this week.  It is so inspiring to see how excited our students are about their learning!  There are some important and exciting events coming up.  I hope to see many of you there!

WE NEED YOU!

Public Hearing on Charter Schools – May 1

On May 1, the House Education Committee will be hosting a public hearing regarding charter schools.  Charter schools are an important positive choice in public education and this is our time to tell the law makers how important MOT Charter is to our children and our community.   

We need staff members, parents, and other supporters to share your experiences and opinions with the House of Representatives. Each speaker will have 2-3 minutes to speak.

 The hearing will start at 7:00 p.m. in the House Chamber.

Charter School Rally in Dover – May 10

May 6 - 12 is National Charter Schools Week.

To celebrate our schools, students, staff, and parents will join together in a rally on The Legislative Mall at Legislative Hall on Thursday, May 10 from 11:55 am - 1:15 pm.  All of MOT Charter School 6thand 7thgrade students will attend the rally.  Permission slips will be coming home soon.  Parents are also invited and encouraged to attend.  Bus transportation from MOT Charter School will be provided.  If you can help by attending the rally, please let us know so we have sufficient room on the buses.

America is a country where 'we the people' have the power to shape our laws. To that end, 'we the people' need to participate in that process and the best place to do that is where it happens - Legislative Hall. Our students will grow up to be voting members of our society.  By participating in a public and peaceful demonstration they will get firsthand experience of our legislative process, free speech and a good point of comparison with regard to other countries and how they will eventually fit in this process. 

Open House – May 20, 1-5 pm

Please plan to stop by the Open House on Sunday, May 20 anytime from 1 pm – 5 pm.  Help us celebrate our 10th Anniversary and the opening of our new library and gymnasium!  Students, families, and friends are welcome!
