Hello Marblehead Community Charter Families,
Thank you so much for attending our first Exhibition of the year. Tuesday evening was an opportunity for students to showcase the product of their learning during the first part of the year. While we strive for projects to be "Exhibition Ready" we also recognize that all students learn at a different pace. Exhibition is as much about the learning process as it is to the final project/product. Throughout the trimester students had to work on skills that included problem-solving and collaborating in teams.
As a faculty we have spent the past few years during the pandemic reflecting on our Exhibitions. We have elected to transition to hosting two whole-school Exhibition events each school year. One in December and one in June. Some grade levels may host smaller events in the spring. Additionally we have the music extravaganza concert in January where our musicians can perform for an audience.
Project based learning continues throughout the school year. The Exhibition in June will allow students to have more choice about what to present and share with the community. They will be able to determine which projects showcase their best work. For some this may be projects completed earlier in the winter or spring and for others it will be final projects at the end of the school year. Empowering students to take ownership of their learning and providing them with more voice and choice is a priority for us at MCCPS.
While we continue to avoid any early snow, winter is coming. In order to keep everyone informed about school closures during snow events, we will utilize a variety of media to message out updates. We will use email via this Constant Contact system. We will post the school closures on local TV stations. We will use Facebook and Instagram. And, you may opt in to receive text messages. We are piloting the text message platform in Constant Contact and you can sign up at: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/s8KZJCC And you can also sign up to receive text messages through the Remind platform at: remind.com/join/gonavs17
Next week we host our student led conferences. Please see information and links to sign up below. We would like every student to experience this conversation about their progress. Please sign up today. While you are here next week for conferences, please do check out the lost & found as we have many items that have been left behind.
In this season of giving, please consider helping us purchase a 15 passenger van for use on field trips and athletics events. Click the Giving Tuesday logo below.
