Updates from our
Head of School
Hello Marblehead Community Charter Families,

Happy March. While we avoided a major snowstorm, March still entered like a lion with the wind and frigid temperatures earlier this week. Thankfully that did not last long and the weather appears to be improving as we march toward the start of spring. Along with turning the calendar to March, we received good news this week that Massachusetts K12 educators are now eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Today, a number of our teachers were able to make appointments at CVS and we expect many more of our educators will also be on track to get the vaccine over the coming weeks. This is very welcome news for us, as it provides hope for the end of the pandemic.

Next week our all of our 4th graders who are in-person learners will begin coming to school for four, full days per week. They join the 7th and 8th graders who are also in person at the school for four, full days per week. We have begun discussions with the 5th and 6th grade teams, but we do not yet have a timeline for this next phase at those grade levels. We will share this information once we are further along in our planning. There are many logistics to work out as we increase the number of students in the school. This includes furniture purchases and rearranging furniture in classrooms. We will gradually phase in more and more in-person learners throughout the spring. The vaccine news is a contributing factor that allows us to move forward with these plans.

With the arrival of March, we also are just a few days away from Exhibition Week. This first Exhibition of the year will be mostly virtual. Students are working hard to complete their projects and practice their presentations. You can check out our Exhibition webpage at exhibition.marbleheadcharter.com. Please review the information about Exhibition below.

Finally, we are excited to partner once again with the North Shore Children's Theatre and bring back our theater program at MCCPS. See information about auditions below.

Have a great weekend.

EXHIBITION WEEK - MARCH 15-19, 2021

We are excited to announce that our Exhibition of Student Work is coming back! The week of March 15th - 19th, students will be sharing their projects in school and online. Since we are still limiting guests in the building, this Exhibition will be hosted online over the course of the week. Students and teachers will record and share student presentations and we will post the live and recorded sessions on exhibition.marbleheadcharter.com. Having our students share their learning and receive feedback is an important part of our program and we are eager to have you and your child join us. 

Our academic schedule will be mostly the same this week, please note there are some important changes listed below:

4th Grade - No changes, Presentations posted Monday 3/15

5th Grade - Tuesday 3/16 will be a remote day for student presentations (students will follow the remote day schedule on Tuesday)

6th Grade - No changes, Thursday evening student presentations, schedule to follow

7th Grade - Tuesday 3/16 will be a remote day for student presentations (students will follow the remote day schedule on Tuesday)

8th Grade - Thursday and Friday (3/18 and 3/19) will be remote days for student presentations (students will follow the remote day schedule on Thursday and Friday)

Note on Student Privacy

Our Exhibitions are traditionally public events, but our online posting of student work was limited. It is our practice to post students with their work and first name online. While that practice will continue, this Exhibition will expand the sharing of this work. If you and your child would like to limit that sharing (ex. by removing the name or their work), please contact the school or your child's grade-level teachers by March 8th. https://www.marbleheadcharter.org/staff/
