Dear Community,
Well...spring will come sometime soon. In fact, the first day of spring is next Thursday. One can only hope that the warm temperatures follow quickly behind. In any case, today felt springlike in the building. By all accounts - today was a good day (the days previous were good too).
By way of reminder, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday of next week, sophomores will take the English MCAS. Attendance is very important everyday, but on these days, it is even more important. Please be sure your student makes his or her way to school on-time on each of the days. To get our students ready and excited to strut their academic stuff, we held the first MCAS PREP Rally today. This was a fun way to remind students of a few simple strategies and, more importantly, communicate our belief in their ability to do well.
One more reminder, the Spring Open House is next Thursday from 5-7pm. Open houses are important events during which teachers and parents connect to discuss student progress. In my opinion, the spring open house is the most important as it provides an opportunity for the adults to partner in steering students in the right direction for the remainder of the year. We hope to see you there!
Monday is Evacuation Day. All BPS schools will be closed.
Enjoy!
Best,
Dr. T
