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

I am just back from a fun day at Fenway Park with the 5th graders. It was STEM Day at the ballpark. Students learned about space from NASA representatives and an astronaut. We got to then stay for the game. It was a beautiful day and wonderful to have field trips back.

Thank you so much to the PTO and the many parents that showered us with appreciation during this week, Teacher Appreciation Week. We are so grateful to have your support.

Work has begun on our mural. We will share updates and pictures on our Facebook page.

The monthly PTO meeting is Friday May 6 at 8am. Current and new/incoming parents are welcome. More information from the PTO is below.

That's all for this week. I am sunburned from the game and I am sure my hearing will come back soon after the bus ride back to the school from Boston. Enjoy the upcoming weekend.

Peter Cohen, Ed.D
Head of School
Learn more about our Criteria for Excellence

On Wednesday May 18, our Academic Excellence Committee will share their work of the past two years. The committee has worked with the faculty to create our Criteria For Excellence. Please plan on attending this in-person event to learn about the skills we have identified for students to work on for their five years at MCCPS. Staying at our school for the full, five-year program will ensure that students build and strengthen the necessary skills to be successful as they transition to area high schools. Students from MCCPS have an outstanding (over 96%) acceptance rate to the private school to which they apply. Additionally, the valedictorian and salutatorian in last year's graduating class at Marblehead High School were MCCPS alums. We have a proven track record of preparing students for success in high school. We look forward to sharing the Criteria for Excellence with you and to help provide the information about how the Charter experience is a strong program of study for the full five years.
