Dear Quashnet School Community,
Last week was Staff Appreciation Week, and it was great to recognize this outstanding team! Go Team Quashnet!
THANK YOU, PTO! Your time and generosity were SO appreciated and enjoyed by all!
The Skill of the Week!
Ask your child about the meaning of "elbow room." In the lunchroom last week, we have been talking about the need to give each other some space. Students should be able to model what elbows space looks like. Our goal is to give each person a respectful space to eat as well as when in a line or lining up as a class. We have also been reinforcing the need to keep hands sanitized. We need to all work together to stay healthy and safe. Home reinforcement is always appreciated!
Here are some of the student reflections:
Everyone has a comfy spot. It is just a nice place.
I think that reading in the nest is successful because kids want to stay in the environment.
When everybody is sitting in their snug chairs it is calming.
How comfortable it feels!
What makes reading in the Nest successful was being able to space out from everyone and all these different ways to sit.
The NEST: Another reason It's GREAT to be in MASHPEE!
Grade 5 students will be participating in their final MCAS test this Tuesday and Wednesday, May 10 & 11, Science and Technology/Engineering. Students will begin their testing promptly each day starting at 9:30 AM. It is extremely important that students are in school and on time, PLEASE! Just like ELA and Math testing, once a session begins no one can enter the room, not even another student.
To see an example of the STE (Science) MCAS, you can go to http://mcas.pearsonsupport.com/student/practice-tests-science/. Just click on Grade 5 Science and then the Computer-Based Practice Test. You will be given a bank of 23 questions and you can see if you are smarter than a fifth-grader! Students are tested on the STE Standards in Grade 5 and Grade 8.

SCHOOL NURSE'S DAY
Wednesday, May 11, is School Nurse's Day. We are SO fortunate to have Nurse Terri at Quashnet School.
Nurse Terri truly hits it out of the park every day!
Thank you Nurse Terri for keeping health and safety a priority in our school!
It is also important to acknowledge Nurse Stacey, the District Nurse Coordinator, for all of her extra duties and support during the COVID pandemic and beyond. We are grateful~

Bring on those smiles!
A Few Reminders:
We are still seeking parents, guardians, community members, and family members that would like to share their jobs/careers, training, and education with our fabulous students. It is a great way to give back and "pant a seed" of interest for a student. Career Day is scheduled for Friday, May 27. Call the Quashnet office for all the details: 508-539-1550.
With field trips and other special events coming up, don't miss out on the opportunity to volunteer in your child's classroom. Just visit the District website, https://www.mpspk12.org/, click on the Community tab, and then the Volunteer link. All the information you need is right there! This process should be done asap to allow time for the office to process the paperwork. We appreciate your help, and it will make field trips doable with your support!
Wishing you a wonderful and healthy week ahead!
Respectfully,
Principal O'Brien
