Community Partnerships

It was an honor to accept an outstanding Community Partner award from Loaves and Fishes at their annual meeting this past Monday night.  We received this award for providing adequate space to them at LAW this past summer while they renovated their building in Devens.  We also received a framed personalized thank you from the many families who are served by the Loaves and Fishes pantry.  Loaves and Fishes is an outstanding organization and we thank them for all they do for our families in need.  We truly appreciate this award.  It will be treasured for many years.

Understanding Your Child's MCAS Scores

If you were unable to join us this past Wednesday at the Lura A. White Elementary School for the presentation on Understanding Your Child's MCAS Report, you can find the MCAS presentation here. At the end of the PPT are several resources for parents/guardians. Please take a few minutes to review the Parent/Guardian Guides to the MA Standards. They are organized by grade level and are designed to help you understand what your child should know and be able to do at each level, better known as grade level learning standards.  You should find these documents very helpful.
