From Principal Cutone
Dear Harwich Elementary School Families,
I hope that this finds you well. As the mother of three adult daughters, I remember the juggling act that occurred when their school was closed and I still needed to go to work. I understand that many of you were likely inconvenienced today by needing to arrange child care so that Monomoy teachers and administrators could have professional learning time. As educators, we value opportunities to learn with and from each other, and today did not disappoint. I feel energized after a day full of rich conversations with educators across the district about teaching and learning, and I am proud of the work that we are doing with students at Harwich Elementary School. I am extremely grateful to you, the community, for supporting our work in this way. Thank you.
I wish everyone a fabulous long weekend as we celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day by honoring the histories and cultures of the Native American people. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to support you or your family.
My best,
Christie Cutone
Queridas famílias da escola primária de Harwich,
espero que isso os encontre bem. Como mãe de três filhas adultas, lembro-me do malabarismo que ocorreu quando a escola deles foi fechada e eu ainda precisava ir trabalhar. Entendo que muitos de vocês provavelmente foram incomodados hoje pela necessidade de providenciar creches para que os professores e administradores do Monomoy pudessem ter tempo de aprendizado profissional. Como educadores, valorizamos as oportunidades de aprender uns com os outros, e hoje não decepcionou. Sinto-me energizado depois de um dia cheio de conversas ricas com educadores de todo o distrito sobre ensino e aprendizado, e estou orgulhoso do trabalho que estamos fazendo com os alunos da Harwich Elementary School. Sou extremamente grato a você, comunidade, por apoiar nosso trabalho dessa maneira. Obrigada.
Desejo a todos um fabuloso fim de semana prolongado enquanto celebramos o Dia dos Povos Indígenas, honrando as histórias e culturas do povo nativo americano. Por favor, deixe-me saber se há algo que eu possa fazer para apoiar você ou sua família.
Meu melhor,
Christie Cutone

It is just a wonderful service that we are fortunate to have.

MRSD seeks input for Portrait of a Graduate process
Monomoy Regional School District is embarking on the process of creating a Portrait of a Graduate. The creation of a Portrait of a Graduate will help inform Monomoy educators from elementary school through high school about the skillsets and mindsets today’s students and graduates need to be successful in their futures. As part of this process, there will be a number of focus groups held for students, parents and caregivers, staff, town officials, and business and community members, at which attendees can share their vision for Monomoy schools. The dates for each focus group as well as more information on Monomoy’s Portrait of a Graduate endeavor can be found on the website at https://www.monomoy.edu/portraitofagraduate. In the coming weeks, there will also be a survey sent out to allow stakeholders to share their input on this process. We look forward to hearing from many voices to help develop this “Portrait” to guide Monomoy schools in better preparing students for college, careers, and life.
