Weekly Wrap Up
Benedict A. Cucinella School 9-24-21
Week 4 - Our First Full Week!
Thank you for all of your support this week. It was wonderful to "SEE" so many parents online for our Back to School Night presentations. As a parent myself, I know that it is not the same as being in the building, but know that it means a lot to us to see all of you online and to be able to share our classrooms, teaching philosophies, curriculum and expectations with you - even if it is virtual! It was also great to see the students all dolled up for picture day. Actually seeing them smile is truly heartwarming!
Thank you also for your amazing support of our upcoming Fun Run! As of this morning, we were approaching $13,000 raised in support of our outdoor pavilion with 63% of our students signed up to participate! What an amazing effort! This weekend there is a Boosterthon challenge - students who get new donations of $2 per lap (or $60 in flat donations) or more will earn their regular rewards plus an amazing BONUS prize. This week the students learned about the attributes of curiosity and practice. Stay tuned to see what attributes they learn about next week! We cannot wait for the big day next Friday!
Next week we will be busy with some of our beginning of the year assessments. Students in Grades 1-3 will be taking the MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) assessment, while students in Grades 4 & 5 will be taking the Start Strong assessment. Assessments will take place at various times (depending on the grade level) on Monday and Tuesday of next week with make-up testing occurring during the remainder of the week. Specific letters about each assessment went out to the grade level parents earlier this evening. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you might have.
Thank you for another awesome week! Enjoy your weekend!
