Dear Students and Families,
As we return from spring break, we are officially entering the fourth and final term of the school year, beginning on Wednesday, April 3rd. This last quarter tends to go by quickly, and it’s important that students stay focused, continue putting in their best effort, and finish the year strong.
We also want to acknowledge that this time of year brings with it MCAS testing. While testing can sometimes feel stressful, it also presents a valuable opportunity for both students and teachers to reflect on what’s going well and to identify areas for growth. These results are meaningful — they help us evaluate our instructional practices and set building-wide goals to better serve all students.
To help your child do their best on testing days, we encourage the following:
-
Make sure they get a good night's sleep the night before.
-
Provide a healthy breakfast on the morning of the test (we have a breakfast cart available to students here too)
-
Help them arrive to school on time and with a positive mindset.
As we move into the final stretch of the year, we’re also thinking about transitions — whether that’s into a new grade level or into a new school altogether. This is a time filled with exciting opportunities and important growth. We encourage families to have conversations at home about what it means to be ready for the next step — not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. Emphasizing the importance of strong learning habits, self-advocacy, and social maturity will help prepare students for success now and in the future.
Thank you for your continued support as we work together to help every student thrive. Let’s make this final quarter a great one!
Sincerely,
Richard A. MacAllister
Principal
Rogers Middle School
