Grade 6 Science Fair
Congratulations to Ms. Yindra and our sixth-grade scientists for a great science fair. Thanks, too, to everyone who came out to show their support for this great event! Click here for some photos.
METCO Middle School Retreat
With many thanks to Ms. Gittens-Carle, several of our Boston-resident students were able to participate in the METCO Directors Association's middle school retreat on 5/29. 130 middle school students from 17 districts participated in team-building activities, leadership training, and fun. Here are some pics!
For Your Information
Course Requests
Over the next week, Dr. Salas will be entering course requests into Aspen. For current Grade 5 students, this will be for World Language and Music classes. For current Grade 6 and 7 students, this will be for Accelerated Math and ELA. While you are always welcome to reach out with questions, please understand that this is the very beginning of building next year's schedule.

What Do You Think about...
...the World Cup? Are you pumped beyond belief and trying to catch a game? Or are you meh about the whole thing? Let me know by emailing me at jscopelleti@cohassetk12.org. (I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Cabo Verde to make some noise, but they're apparently at 1000-to-1 odds for going the distance. But there's still a chance!)
