Dear Families,
I recently had the opportunity to visit our new school building at 100 Putnam Avenue and it looks fantastic! Our students and teachers are going to love the additional space, student-friendly design, green features, and first-class amenities. In particular, I look forward to our clusters (JK/K, 1-2, 3-5) having their own floor and being able to build an even smaller grade-level community. When we move on December 21st, it will be a very exciting time for our school and the city of Cambridge!
Our third- to fifth-grade classroom teachers had the pleasure to attend the Literacy for All conference in Providence, Rhode Island this past Monday and Tuesday. The team learned additional literacy strategies and interventions through this annual conference featuring more than 100 workshops. This is a great opportunity for our teachers to bond in a shared learning experience that will benefit our students.against the cold and flu. Nurse Rollins is available to answer questions and provide resources.
