Dear Schofield Families,

It has been really nice to connect with so many families coming to Schofield over the past couple of weeks for parent/teacher conferences. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to meet with your child’s teacher in person or remotely.  Our home/school partnership is so important and by working together as a team, we can better support our students and help them thrive academically, socially and emotionally.  

MCAS:
Kudos to our fourth graders who completed the English Language Arts MCAS this week.  Their hard work and determination made us all so proud. The message I give to students when they seem a little anxious about MCAS is that, “no matter what, you are still going to the next grade, your grown ups at home are still going to love you, and I am still going to think you’re amazing.”  Next week, our third graders will take the ELA MCAS on Monday and Tuesday and then we will begin Math MCAS testing toward the end of the month.

Solar Eclipse: Monday, April 8th
We are looking forward to the Solar Eclipse on Monday and keeping our fingers crossed for clear skies. Thank you to the Schofield PTO for purchasing viewing glasses for all students and staff.  Given the timing of the eclipse, we are not coordinating a whole-school event, however teachers have been provided with instructional resources and many are planning to take their students outside before the end of the school day.
