Welcome February!
We have had a busy first of the year with different enrichment programs and family events. Ooch was here last week and we recently had family literacy evening at the Woburn Street School. Students are settling back in to the routine and we have been very fortunate to have them outdoors for recess. We are about half way through Term 2 and teachers will be reaching out shortly regarding parent conferences for March. In addition, the staff is going to look at creating student norms for the building and establishing those before spring. We will share those out to parents for feedback prior to implementing them. We feel as a school establishing these set of expectations and norms through the entire building would benefit students and staff. I am looking forward to creating them. Also, our grade 3 MCAS will be taking place in March and in May. The DESE has changed some portions of the test and the ELA portion will now be covering 3 days. The third day will be under 60 minutes. I will send home a reminder once it gets closer. Included in students back packs this week is a Home and School Connection newsletter which includes tips on standardized testing , thinking games, parent power, pitching in at home and being a bystander when bullying is involved.
Reminder that Vacation is February 15-19th.
Thank you for your support and participation with your children. Have a great month.
Mrs. King
