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

This week we completed the first round of MCAS testing for the year. Due to the pandemic, this was the first experience with the MCAS assessment for our 4th graders. This year the number and length of testing sessions is reduced as compared to a typical year. For that, we are thankful. Next week will be the second round of testing. With the wonderful stretch of weather we are experiencing, we hope that students will stay focused on their exhibition projects, school work, and perform to the best of their ability on these assessments, even when their minds may be thinking ahead to summertime fun. It is hard to believe that we are in the final five weeks of this school year that has both gone by fast and at times felt like it would never end. The progress with the vaccination rate and easing of COVID restrictions in our state is promising. We look ahead to next school year with great anticipation that it will be a much better year with limited restrictions impacting "normal" operations. Thank you to everyone in our community for your unwavering support of our teachers and our school as we have all navigated the past 15 months of the pandemic.

Tonight we celebrate our students who will showcase their musical talents at the Spring Pops Concert. The concert is our first in person event in months. It will take place in the back lot of the school at 6pm.

Thank you to all who were able to participate in Navigator Night last Friday. With the community support through ticket sales, the kayak raffle, sponsorships, and the online auction we raised $20,000 for our school. If you missed the virtual event we will be posting some of the videos that were shared that evening. Of particular note was a video we shared featuring alumni that are about to graduate high school. That group is so impressive and had a wonderful message about the impact MCCPS has had on them. Be on the lookout for that video. A highlight reel from Navigator Night is below. Thanks to Bryan Burns and SmartHunts for the technical assistance and event production. We could not have done this without you.

We have many events coming up over the next five weeks. See below for some of them listed in this newsletter.
