Bridport Community Newletter

This past week was our first week of VTCAP testing for 3-5th graders.. and they rocked it! We were blown away by their hard work and perseverance on this important assessment. Students gave it their best effort, and took their time with each question. The practice that we put in the past few weeks has certainly paid off. In addition to the test prep, we've also worked hard as a community this school year to change our thinking about approaching new things, and being OK when work feels hard.

The all school activities around STEM, growth mindset and making mistakes have helped all our students feel confident to give their best effort on all academic and social emotional work this year. I am so thankful for the time, and resources folks have given to this effort.

As always, please reach out with questions

THANK YOU to everyone who has helped students be rested and on time for school this past week!

This week, students will be taking the Math sessions of VTCAP on Wednesday and Thursday. They can do it!

This week three students were awarded student of the week! This new tradition has been so awesome- and students are looking forward to it each week to see which one of their peers will be recognized in this way. Lots of times they are nominating eachother to me! Its been another great way to celebrate one another.

We are thrilled to announce the start of the IB PYP Exhibition for our 5th grade students. This is a monumental milestone in our student’s elementary education—a "capstone" project that celebrates everything they have learned during their time in the Primary Years Program. Exhibition is a student-led, collaborative inquiry process. Students identify a real-world issue they are passionate about, conduct research, and take meaningful action to make a difference.

5th grade families will receive a longer email with more details, but our entire ACSD community can support our students: 1) If you know a student involved in Exhibition ask them what they are discovering and how it affects our world! 2) If you want to be a mentor or offer your real-world expertise for students whose topic relates to your work, contact your principal or Brandi Corbett, PYP Coordinator, bcorbett@acsdvt.org

Hello everyone,

April is so close and that means Hip hop dance and tumbling is wrapping up for March. We had a great turnout for all the classes. We hope to offer again in the fall.

Baseball starts first week of April for Minors and Mighty Mites. Last week of April we will start Tball and Tiny TBall.

Last weekend we offered Intro to Wrestling for 4years-Kindergarten and they all had a blast.

Thanks

Molly
