School Cancellations: If a school day is
cancelled due to poor weather, the following school day will be the missed day
in our 6-Day cycle.We are so very grateful to our students and their families for supporting and valuing the MCAS assessment process. Parents are the most important role models in a child’s life, and the messages that parents give to their child have the greatest impact. On Tuesday, March 18th, the writing skills of our fourth graders were assessed through the long composition. Our students worked extremely hard. Their dedication to the process and application of best effort were clearly observed. Students in grades three through six took the MCAS Reading/English Language Arts assessment last Thursday and Friday. Student attendance was excellent on all testing days. A special thank you to Mrs. Rozum, Mrs. Webb, Mrs. Burnell, Mrs. McGrory, Mrs.Sullivan, and Mrs. Phelan for volunteering their time to monitor hallway movement during testing.
Thank you to sixth grade teacher Mrs. Gilbert and the Quashnet School Student Council
members for making every student feel special last Thursday. The students and Mrs. Gilbert spent many
recesses writing positive messages on sticky notes. They then arrived early to school (7:30 AM)
to put a sticky note on each student’s locker.
When students arrived, they were surprised to find a positive “feel good”
message on their locker. Our sixth grade Student Council members
kept the entire plan a secret for several weeks. It was an amazingly wonderful experience for
everyone.
Coming
Soon: GEO CAPE COD CLUB
Fourth and fifth graders will have the opportunity to participate
in our new GEO Cape Cod Club. Thank you
to parent Laura Howard who is volunteering her time to facilitate this club
which will meet on Tuesdays after school beginning on April 8th. Mrs. Howard will be presenting a
geography-based curriculum and enrichment to foster global thinking skills. Flyers
should be received by all fourth and fifth graders by Monday, March 24th. Space is limited so if your child wishes to participate,
please return the bottom portion of the flyer to the main office as soon as
possible.
2014 QUASHNET SPELLING BEE (Update)
75 students have
signed up to participate in this year’s Quashnet School Spelling Bee. All students have received their packet of words—same
packet for each student. Even though the
packet is divided by grade-level, all participants are expected to learn ALL words in the packet. Our Spelling Bee will take place on Wednesday,
April 30th. Grade-level
preliminary rounds will take place at 5:30 PM, and the final will take place at
6:30 PM. If any student would still like to participate, please pick up a
permission slip from the main office.
Once returned, the student will receive the word packet. Last year’s Spelling Bee was a wonderful
event.

was a beautiful sunny day last Wednesday when the entire Quashnet School
community welcomed home our Mr. Palmer.
Thank you to the Mashpee Police Department for providing Mr. Palmer with
a police escort to school. Thank you to the
Mashpee Fire Department for providing us with the ladder truck and enormous
American flag. Mr. Palmer was very

CLOTHING YOUR CHILDREN HAVE OUTGROWN
Eighth grader Frederick Hanna is Mashpee’s representative on
Governor Deval Patrick’s Project 351. This year’s service project is
focused on collecting gently used clean clothing that would fit babies and
children up to age 12. If your children have outgrown some of their
clothes and you would like to donate them to a worthwhile project you can send
the clothing to the Quashnet School. Frederick’s sister, fifth grader
Alinna, is coordinating the collection at our school. We have a
collection box outside our main office. The donations will benefit
disadvantaged children in partnership with another nonprofit, Cradles to
Crayons. Any donated clothing will be greatly appreciated.March is Women's History Month. This link is a great resource for learning more about some amazing women and how their work impacted the world. http://womenshistorymonth.gov/
