Schofield School
Go Hawks
Dear Schofield Families,
As the leaves begin to change with the official start of fall, we are thrilled to see our students settling into their routines, engaging in new learning opportunities, and building friendships. This is such a special time of year as we watch our school community grow and thrive. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our teachers who have worked so hard to create inclusive learning spaces for our students.
Hawk Talk Highlights
At our Hawk Talk this morning, we discussed the return to school. Thanks to the parents/caregivers who shared some feedback with me. Here are a couple of highlights in case you couldn’t make it. As always, please reach out to me via email or phone if you have any questions or concerns.
-
Cedar Street Crosswalk Light: Over the summer I was made aware that the crosswalk light was hit and broken in a car accident. I made sure the Wellesley Police Department was aware and they have ordered a new light. I checked in yesterday with Officer Poirier, our School Resource Officer, and she shared that a new light has been ordered and will hopefully be here soon!

Monthly Assemblies: Each month, we are coming together as a school community for assemblies where we teach, practice and reinforce the school-wide, expected behaviors. Our goal with PBIS is to create a learning environment where all students feel safe, valued and ready to learn. In September we focused on the expected behaviors during arrival and dismissal and since then, students have been earning stars for their classroom jars to work toward a whole-class reward. A popular reward is always Pajama Day and it has been awesome to see students arrive at school in their pajamas excited to introduce their stuffies. Eventually, all of these stars will be combined for a whole-school mystery reward! I am looking forward to our next assembly in October when we will celebrate all of our hard work and shift our focus to a new location/part of the day. I am so proud of our STAR students!
Spirit Day Alert!
Speaking of school spirit, get your gear (or the colors blue and yellow) ready for our Schofield Spirit Day on Friday of next week. This is a fun opportunity for students and staff to come together and show their school pride. We look forward to filling the halls with school spirit and kicking off the fall season with a strong sense of community and joy.
I will be back at the softball and soccer fields this weekend to watch my kids play and fortunately, the weather looks fantastic! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend as well.
All the best,
Jordan
