Welcome back! And I must say we came back with gusto. What a week! Here's the week in review:
- Two students returned from the Black College Tour. Photo of them at the Martin Luther King burial site in Atlanta, GA is below.
- Two educators returned from China. We're planning to take students next year! Picture below.
- In celebration of National Poetry Month, we held our very poetry open mic session and art shot on Tuesday. Photos below.
- To get our 9th graders in the right frame of mind for the physics MCAS in June, we held a PREP Rally on Wednesday and a practice test on Thursday and today.
- As we do after the close of each quarter, we celebrated the efforts and accomplishments of our young scholars at honors assemblies.
- Finally, as a rather large number of juniors are preparing to take the SAT tomorrow, we held a rally at the close of the day today.
Now that's what I call a school week!
Over the past week, I'm certain that you received phone calls about the science MCAS prep sessions offered after school. This is for all ninth graders who are preparing for the physics MCAS in June and all upperclassman who have yet to pass a science MCAS. Our data on those who participate in the prep sessions is really compelling. Bottom line - if a student participates, the likelihood that he/she will pass goes up significantly. Please contact Sara Bouvier (sbouvier@bostonpublicschools; 617-635-9873) with any questions.
Enjoy your weekend! The warm up is coming!
Best,
