Welcome back to School

Thank you to our Marshfield First Responders. It's very special that SRS has so many family connections to Marshfield Police and Fire Departments.

KIDS FIT @ SRS

With MRS. PETERSEN & MR. DEROSA

What is it? Kids Fit is a 6 week program where students, Grades 2-5, come into the gym and do a series of physical exercises for 45 minutes. Some of the activities include PE class games, cooperative games, obstacle courses, etc. This gives students the opportunity to wake up or get energy out prior to their school day! 🙂

When and Where? Tuesdays/ Thursdays from 8-8:45 at SRS Gym

** Session 1 is September 23- November 1**

Interested? Sign up here! Kids Fit at SRS

Questions? Please feel free to email myself or Mr. DeRosa at spetersen@mpsd.org or nderosa@mpsd.org

Mrs. Krupski is in her 10th year as a speech teacher, coming from the Big Apple originally and settling on the South Shore in 2020. She loves being a part of MPSD, having served all ages in town, from the preschoolers up to the POST, since her start in Marshfield in 2021. Some of you may even know her from GWS or ESY. When she is not at school, she enjoys playing backgammon with her husband, Ed, taking her puppy, Pierogi, for walks, and dinking around on the pickleball courts. She is excited to grow her MPSD family and get to work on helping the SRS students and families find their voices!

Hello ! I am Liz Kondrat, the new Multi-Sensory Reading teacher at South River! Before coming to South River I was at the Carroll School in Waltham. I have just about always lived on the south shore and am so happy to be working here in Marshfield. I can't wait to meet you all and become part of the South River community.

Being an art teacher makes me so happy. My favorite thing to do is paint with my son and daughter. I love the Fall, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, reading, hanging out with my family, and teaching!

Introduction of New Individualized Education Program (IEP) Form

When: Thursday, September 12, 2024, 6:30 pm

Where: Seth Ventress Building at 76 South River Street

Register: Please click HERE to register

Presented by Amy Scolaro, MPSD Assistant Superintendent of Student Services

The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) released a new Individualized Education Program (IEP) form, which is being implemented this school year in all school districts.

It is important to understand that while the IEP form will look different, the special education process remains the same.

The new IEP document's intent is to support teams in developing a more personalized education plan for students receiving special education services. The new IEP form will enhance collaboration and provide clear and comprehensive documentation of your child's strengths and special education services.

We value your partnership and look forward to working together to support your child's educational needs.

For more information about the new statewide IEP form, please visit the state webpage at: https://www.doe.mass.edu/sped/improveiep/

Presented by the Marshfield Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC).
