I hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day weekend. As we return for the final stretch of the school year, I’m happy to share that we’ve officially completed our MCAS testing for the year! A big thank you to all of you for your support in making sure students came to school prepared and ready to do their best. With just a few weeks left before summer break, let’s continue to make the most of our time together. There’s still lots of learning, fun, and community-building ahead, and we’re excited to finish the year strong.

As always, thank you for your partnership and support!

Be well,

Abby Dudley

Principal

Clubs Ending 6/13: Please plan accordingly for our clubs to end on June 13th.

5th Grade Anti-Bullying Lessons: Thanks to the 5th graders and 6th and 7th grade student Ambassadors for participating in our current round of Anti-Bullying lessons. In this most recent lesson, students were introduced to the "THINK Filter" to support our community. This asks us to check our words against THINK criteria. True - Helpful - Important - Necessary - Kind

MRSD Family Engagement Survey: Monomoy School District wants to hear from you! As parents and caregivers, your input is vital in the planning and implementation of engagement activities in our school. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. This survey will close June 1, 2025.

CAP2U Fundraiser – Thank You, Mr. Jeff! This month, we're hosting a special fundraiser to support The Children's Alopecia Project, the incredible organization who visited our school in April. Mr. Jeff's powerful message about understanding and embracing differences through his experiences with alopecia deeply resonated with our students and staff. It was a truly memorable moment with a lasting impact on our community. As a heartfelt thank you, we're raising funds for CAP2U and raffling off two CAP2U sweatshirts! Raffle tickets are $5 each, and donations can be submitted in the main office. All are welcome to participate.

7th Grade Pathways (for 6th grade families): This year was our initial year for our 7th grade pathways program and it has been a success with high engagement due to student choice. We will begin talking to 6th graders about their 7th grade pathway classes this week. Students have the option to choose Language, Music, or Advanced STEM for their pathways. There are also opportunities for students to receive academic support or reading services. If you would like input in your student's choice, we recommend discussing this with them ahead of forecasting which will happen the week of May 26th.
