Dear Quashnet School Community,
This Monday starts our third full week of school, but the second week with the Mashpee cohort being in-person. We are very optimistic that the remote Falcons will be able to navigate their teachers' lessons well after being in school this week. Being in-person learners, Grade 3 students are more and more comfortable and finding their way around Quashnet. As you are aware, we did have some challenges with technology this week. We are hopeful that we are back up and running and all links and websites are working. We are so fortunate to have a fabulous tech team to help us all navigate through these glitches.
Attendance Update: Per the Dept. of Elementary and Secondary Education, we are required to record daily attendance which is then reported to the state. This year, we do have a new directive. Teachers are taking attendance for their in-person students as we always have, but now we are also recording students as remote-present or remote-absent. In order for your child to be recorded as remote-present, they must participate in the majority of their school day. If your child is not able to participate in school, whether in-person or remotely, we are asking that you send an email to qsattendance@mpspk12.org. This way we can assure your child's attendance record is accurate. If your child is scheduled to be in school but attending remotely for the day, we ask that you send an email to qsattendance@mpspk12.org explaining the absence from in-person learning. This is a perfect example of, nothing is as easy as it seems! Thank you for your help!
PICTURE DAY is coming! Individual student pictures will be taken outside under the
