Term II Report Cards
Student report cards for Term II will be made available for families to view by accessing the Aspen Family Portal on Friday, June 19th. Instructions for logging into your account to view your child(ren)'s report card will be provided at that time. To more effectively communicate student progress to families in this unique learning environment, report cards will take a narrative format using a newly created form. The narrative template developed by grade level teachers addresses essential standards and are consistent across the grade level. Art, Music and Physical Education teachers have also developed common narratives addressing essential standards. Next year, we anticipate returning to the traditional standards based report card.

FISHER FARMS UPDATE
Our beloved "Fisher farms" will lay fallow this growing season. While this is a disappointment, the unfortunate circumstances will provide the school garden an unexpected benefit - an entire season to replenish soil nutrients from our repeated plantings. Within the confines of our small garden, it was sometimes difficult to perform "crop-rotation" in order to replenish the soil.
We thank you, our collective Fisher family, for your volunteerism, donations and support over the years...and look forward to NEXT Spring 2021 to connect your child/ren's (our student's) educational learning and community-service through our "living classroom."
Musically,
Farmer Jim

WPS Summer Learning Program
We are excited to offer a new program for our K-8 students this summer. The WPS Summer Learning Program will provide grade-level teaching and support in a remote setting at no cost to interested families. The program will include approximately 3-5 hours of instruction per week with qualified staff blending live digital meetings with independent work time.
This is a great opportunity for students to continue developing their skills and help them prepare for a strong start in September while having some fun along the way. The program will run from July 7-July 30 and is open to all students currently in grades K-8. This program is separate from our Extended School Year Program (special education). Parents will be contacted directly if that program applies to their children.
If interested in the new Summer Learning Program, please complete the brief form found in the link below by Wednesday, June 3. If you have any questions, please contact program coordinator Elizabeth Smith (esmith@walpole.k12.ma.us).
