Welcome
The Gettysburg Montessori Charter School (GMCS) is a FREE public/charter school open to students from any school district in Pennsylvania. Our charter school allows Montessori education to blend with traditional elements to bridge the gap between public school and private school. Montessori emphasizes the development of the whole child: cognitive, social, and emotional, while the charter aspect requires state testing for peer monitoring and learning measurements. Children in a Montessori class learn through hands-on activities while teachers facilitate. GMCS Apparel

We are continuing to learn and study ways to offer the best service to our students. We have decided parents no longer need to order their children's meals through your account on School Café. Students that desire to have Lunch provided are to report daily to their teachers at their school arrival. If your child/children are arriving late, please notify us to add them to the lunch orders. No need to pre-order Breakfast as we have plenty available. Our lunches are provided by an off-site catering company; therefore, all orders for lunch are due by 9:00 am daily. USDA approved all students in Pennsylvania will receive free meals for the entire school year. All students may continue to purchase ala carte items such as extra milk and juice. Funds must be available on the student’s account to purchase ala carte items. For Virtual Students, please email Food Service Coordinator regloff@gettysburgmontessoricharter.org to schedule your Pick Up Orders. We thank you for your patience and if you should have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us. Rita Egloff Food Service Coordinator Gettysburg Montessori Charter School Ext.113 Update on 5 days:
11/02/2020 Dear GMCS Families, Over the last couple of weeks, we have been reaching out to our families and meeting with staff about how our educational model is working and how it is meeting the needs of our students. The consensus is that most families want their children to attend school in person 5 days a week. Most of our staff agree that our students should attend in person 5 days a week. We desire to meet the academic, social, and emotional needs of our students, and we are also extremely concerned about the health of all of our students and staff. We started our school year cautiously, with a hybrid model and that worked for some of our students. The majority though are struggling academically and we need to make a change. Starting Monday, November 9, we will offer 5 days a week in person to those families who choose this option. We will still offer our synchronous, full virtual option for those who prefer that. In addition, if you feel that you prefer to continue the hybrid synchronous model, we will allow for that as well. Please be assured that the health and safety for all are in mind and we will ensure proper cleaning and sanitizing as we adjust. The transportation departments are aware of this upcoming change and are ready to accommodate us starting on Monday. We just need to communicate with them by Thursday who will need transportation. We need you to communicate with your child's teacher, which option you would like for your child. This change will begin on Monday, November 9th. Please inform your child's teacher by this Wednesday, November 6 of which of the following choices you choose. 1. 5 days in person 2. 5 days virtual 3. Current hybrid model Thank you for all of your support and understanding during this very difficult time. We are trying to meet the needs of everyone the best we can.
