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

Welcome to June! The fast pace of the end of the school year is upon us. We have a number of events coming up and we shared the dates in a separate email, as well as in the upcoming events section below. These events include:

Matilda, jr. The Musical performed Friday June 4 at 6pm
Electronics Recycling Drive - Saturday June 5 at 9am-12pm
MCCPS Family Night at North Shore Navigators Baseball Game - Friday June 11
End of Year Picnic - June 22
8th Grade Graduation - June 22 (rain date June 24)
Last Day of School - June 23

Each grade level will also be sharing information about Exhibition for the third trimester directly to parents in each grade. Please be on the lookout for that information.

Our secondary enrollment lottery will be pulled on June 15. If you know of interested students/families, please encourage them to apply online on our website. We currently have a waitlist at all grade levels, but we often see some movement with enrollment during the summer. If you know that you current student will not be returning to MCCPS next year please notify as soon as possible so that we can transfer your child's records and invite a student from the waitlist. Over 95% of our current students are returning and we project we will be fully enrolled with 230 students in total next year. This is wonderful news for our school.

Looking ahead, the preliminary guidance from DESE indicates that we will be able to be have five days per week of in-person learning and we will not offer a remote learning option in the fall. It is exciting news and allows us to plan for a return to what we do best with in-person, collaborative problem solving and project based learning at all grade levels. We can't wait!

Peter Cohen, Ed.D

PTO Update

We successfully concluded our restaurant fundraisers. A BIG thank you to Colleen Connor for organizing these. We are thrilled to help so many local restaurants and to raise MCCPS’ visibility in the community. We raised over $4,500, which was used to fund a Nature’s Classroom mobile unit for the 6th and 7th graders as well as the monthly PTO teacher/staff appreciation events.


Our last event will be an end of year picnic for the students on Tuesday, June 22nd. We have arranged for Terry’s ice cream truck to provide treats/dessert for all the students.
 
Please join us for our last PTO meeting this Friday, June 4th at 8:15am. We are looking for a new Fundraising Chair so please reach out to Connie DeBoever (cfang73@yahoo.com) if interested.
