Rock Prairie Montessori School-Official Page

We are looking for both Full-Time and Part-Time Spanish Teachers. Our ideal candidate can speak and write fluently in Spanish and can get students excited about learning the language in the classroom. The ideal candidate will be able to use a blend of Montessori and Spanish as a World Language curriculum that enables students to read and write in Spanish, as well as speak both formally and conversationally. Cultural studies should be integrated throughout the curriculum to give students perspective on the history and development of the language.

As we have our last day of school of the year today, we want to give our appreciation and best wishes to our retiring administrators: Ms. Martha Carver, Head of School, and Ms. Mary Kline, Director of Education. Their long tenure at Rock Prairie has provided a foundation that built a strong Montessori community. With their tireless dedication, wisdom and good humor they have helped our community grow and thrive, resulting in the 26-27 school year to have the highest enrollment of our school’s history. Congratulations to you both on your retirement.

We would in addition like to announce that Ms. Tracey Hall will serve as our new Head of School starting June 1! A well-versed Montessorian, Ms. Tracey has been a part of the RPMS faculty for the past 17 years. She began her time here as Toddler Lead teacher and Program Coordinator. She also helped develop and facilitated the Toddler Training program for new Montessori teachers through the Center for Guided Montessori Studies. In 2020, Ms. Tracey moved to a new educational level in our school where she implemented and taught our adolescent program (grades 7-8), including building the curriculum and intersession experiences. We are excited for her to build on our success!

We look forward to seeing some of you in our summer school program, and many more in the Fall for the new school year. Enjoy the summer!
