Updates from our

Head of School

Hello Marblehead Community Charter Families,

We are looking forward to tonights' concert, the annual Music Extravaganza! This event features our chorus, honors band, jazz band, rock band, and strings performance groups. The concert is open to all. Our basketball season also kicks off this afternoon. We started the day with a mini pep rally with our new cheer team and introductions of the basketball teams. Good luck to our student-athletes and musicians tonight.

Students this week learned about the Entrepreneur Fair that we will host on May 7. MCCPS students are encouraged to participate in this exciting event. You can learn more at: https://www.childrensbusinessfair.org/marblehead

We will host our second open house event on Saturday. We will provide tours by appointment only from 9am-11am. Interested families can sign up online for the few remaining spots. The tours are co-led by school administrators and some of our 5th grade students.

If you know of families interested in enrolling at our school, please spread the word that enrollment is now open for the 2023-2024 school year. The application can be found on our website. Applications must be received by February 8 in order to be included in our primary enrollment lottery.

We are now planning the Enrichment courses for the third trimester, which begins in March. If you are interested in running an enrichment course in the spring. please reach out to our Dean of Students, Stephanie Brant.

While the winter has been mild to date, please continue to send students to school with the gear they need to go outside for recess. At times the field can be muddy, so an extra set of boots/shoes for recess is a good idea.

We hope to see you at the concert tonight.

Peter Cohen, Ed.D
