Parents can attend an open house at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, April 4, 2024 at the school to learn more. They will get the chance to meet with faculty, administration, and staff, as well as tour the school and get a sneak peak of a model classroom.

Parents can start registering their students in Montessori and other EPISD programs April 1. Students who live in the Dr. Green Elementary School boundary will get priority seating, according to a district spokesperson.
