MCAS and ASpen
MCAS testing is quickly approaching! The technology department is actively preparing for this year’s tests. All end of life chromebooks in grades 3-6 have been replaced with new devices to comply with MCAS requirements. Remember that during testing, students should fully charge their chromebooks at home each evening to ensure they will have enough power to complete testing that day.
Parents, if you need access to your Aspen account to view your child’s progress, please email John Collins, jcollins@wbridgewater.com.
Howard School News
Howard School News -The Howard School celebrated Read Across America with a celebration on Wednesday afternoon to promote reading for pleasure. In addition, students enjoyed this experience with popcorn donated from the PTO. The school council will be beginning a fundraiser to promote school swag and will be selling Howard Wildcat school sunglasses. All donations will go to the Howard student activity account. For the month of March, Howard School will be focusing on empathy from our school's PRIDE expectations. At the end of the month, students will have their first whole school assembly to celebrate together
Check out this original poem by Alanna Fidalgo
HOWARD SCHOOL
Wildcats who have pride,
We work together
Side by side.
We have passion
A positive trait
And respect
For others who take things off of our plates.
We have ingenuity,
‘Cause we are original
And determination too,
Nobody can stop us,
It’s just what we do.
Empathy,
A very important trait,
We have that too,
It’s just our fate.
Pride,
Very important to have
We do it together,
To keep us from bad.
