We're Off and Running!
Can you believe that it's October already? Our school year has begun well! In these past weeks, students have been getting used to the routines of a new school year. We are currently conducting benchmark assessments in all classrooms to help us understand exactly what our students know and what will be their next pathway to learning. In just a few weeks, at parent/teacher conferences, teachers will be able to share some of the information they have gathered to that point.
October will be a busy month at school! We have two opportunities for parents to be involved with decision making at the school level. The first opportunity is to join our Parent Teacher Advisory Council (PTAC). This group meets about 8 times per year in the evening. It raises funds to provide extra experiences for our students. In the past, PTAC has helped to fund field trips for students and has bought needed supplies, including playground equipment, that students would not be available otherwise. Our first meeting of the year will be next Wednesday, October 11, 2023, at 6:30 PM at school.
Each school in Massachusetts should also form a School Council that is made up of parents, teachers, and community members. This council advises the principal on the development of a school improvement plan as well as the annual budget. The Council meets one evening per month. We are currently looking for 3 parents to serve on our School Council. If you are interested, or would like more information, please email me at depink@dy-regional.k12.ma.us
