Principal's Message
Dear Angell Community,
We had a fantastic turn out for our 2nd annual Occupation Day! Mrs. Chudler worked closely with our 5th grade students to structure an enriching learning opportunity for all of our students. We are grateful to all the parents and community members who volunteered their time to inspire our students through their passions. It was evident that all of our presenters were excited to share about their occupation and give our students a glimpse at all the possibilities that may be available in their future. Our district often talks about the #berkleydifference. This is a shining example of the incredible relationship between our school, parents and the community. Please enjoy the pictures below that highlight some of our students' experiences.
Our 5th graders kicked off our state testing process this week and did a nice job of completing the science portion of MSTEP. Our 3rd and 4th graders will join our 5th graders next week as we begin the math portion. *Please note that on testing days we are asking students to not wear smartwatches or have communication devices such as phones on their person as it is against testing protocols. Our preference is for students to not bring these items on testing days however if that is unavoidable all devices must be kept in backpacks and lockers during testing sessions.
We are encouraging families to avoid appointments during testing times so we can minimize the need for makeup sessions and missed learning time. We appreciate your cooperation. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me directly.

A special message from our PTA about Back to School Supply Lists
The Angell PTA is already thinking about the 2024-25 school year. The PTA has again partnered with 1st Day School Supplies to offer an optional way to purchase suggested school supply items for your student. These school supply kits have been reviewed by our staff and contain everything needed to start the next school year. Orders are due by July 1st and will be delivered to Angell prior to the start of school. Please remember to order the grade level that your student will be in the fall.

Angells Around the World
Our wonderful PTA is planning a special event that will celebrate all the cultures represented at Angell Elementary School and need your help! Here is the PTA's special message and invitation to join:
Come and CELEBRATE your culture and country at Angell Elementary's FIRST cultural festival and dance, Angells Around the World! The PTA DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) Committee invites everyone to proudly show off who they are and where they are from.
Here is where we need YOUR help! Families have the option of hosting a table that represents their culture by sharing traditional clothes, providing a traditional dish to sample and/or presenting a trifold poster that highlights their country of origin. Families may also have other items that represent their country (home decor, painting, country flag, etc.).
Interested in hosting a table? Please use the link button below to sign up! The PTA will provide more details to families that sign up after April 15th.
