Teaching and Learning News
Community Edition
Welcome to the Fall Teaching and Learning Update!
The community Teaching and Learning Newsletters will be a way for me to share with all of you the great things we are focusing on to support the learners in Millbury. I am excited to give you all a glimpse of the amazing work the educators here in Millbury are doing day in and day out to support your children in their classrooms.
Family Guides
In order to help you all on this journey I am providing links below to family guides for all levels (PreK-12) that will give you the answer to, "What is my child learning?" These guides will also provide you with some prompts you can use to ask your children questions about their school day and some suggestions for supporting them in their work.
The best resource that we have in our district for answering specific questions about your child's classroom experiences is your child's teacher. We are fortunate to have an incredibly dedicated crew of educators showing up every day for the students in Millbury. I encourage all of you to connect with your children's teachers. They are always willing and excited to collaborate with families.
In addition to these family guides, we also have digital curriculum-sharing platforms that will give you access to the daily and weekly learning activities your child is engaging in. In grades Prek-2 this platform is Class Dojo. In grades 3-12 this platform is Google Classroom. If you have shared your email address with the district you should have received a parent invitation to join your child's Google Classrooms earlier this year. If you need any assistance with either of these sharing sites please contact your child's teacher.
Your child's i-Ready report will be sent home to you through their school. You can use the "Understanding Your Child's i-Ready Report" button below to access a guide for looking at that document. This year we will also be providing families with the opportunity to hear more about these reports and the supports we have in place for students at an i-Ready parent/guardian information session. The information on those evening events is listed below.
i-Ready Parent Information Night for Grades K-2: November 7th from 6-7 pm in the Elmwood Cafeteria
i-Ready Parent Information Night for Grades 3-6: November 8th from 6-7 pm in the Shaw Cafeteria
i-Ready Parent Information Night for grades 7 and 8: November 9th from 6-7 pm in the High School auditorium
