Dear Families:
Every year, each public school and school district in Massachusetts receives a report card. Just as your child’s report card shows how they are doing in different subjects, the school’s report card is designed to show families how our school is doing in different areas. View our school’s report card.
The report card includes multiple measures of a school’s performance – more than just MCAS scores. It represents a new way of looking at school performance, by providing information on student achievement, teacher qualifications, student learning opportunities, and more.
Report cards are designed to be useful tools for everyone connected to our school. Families can use the information to have meaningful conversations with us about what the school is doing well and where there is room for improvement. Community and education leaders can use the information to better understand how to support students and our school.
You will notice on our report card that our students have clear access to the arts and digital literacy with 78% of our students participating in an arts course and 47.8% of our students have completed at least one digital literacy or computer science course. We are increasing the number and almost half of our students have access to Digital Literacy and Computer Science. Our dropout rate is decreasing and continues to be below the state. We have increased the number of students enrolling in a 4-Year Institution after graduation. To improve student performance in our school, we are working to improve attendance, strengthening our tier 1 instruction to improve student academic achievement, and we are strengthening our multi-tiered intervention system to meet student’s needs and use data to drive growth. We encourage you to become involved in helping us improve our school. We see parents as critical partners in the success of our students and school, and we are grateful for your continued support.
Finally, if your child attends a school that receives federal Title I funds, you also have the right to request the following information about the qualifications of your child’s classroom teachers:
· Whether your child’s teacher is licensed in the grade levels and subject areas they teach,
· Whether your child’s teacher is teaching under an emergency license or waiver,
· The college degree and major of your child’s teacher, and
· Whether your child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.
If you have questions about our school’s report card, would like to become involved in school improvement activities, or would like to request information about the qualifications of your child’s classroom teacher, please contact Judy Provencher at (508) 398-7630.

Sincerely,
Kendra Bennett, Principal
