Digital Learning Day Information
Please remember that Friday, September 16th is a scheduled Digital Learning Day. Students will NOT report to school on Friday as they will be learning digitally.
Students will complete independent tasks throughout the day. Your child's teachers are reviewing the procedure of how they will locate and access the required digital learning resources for Friday.
Common Formative Assessments in GCPS
Throughout the school year, teachers use formative assessments as “check-ins” on student learning. The information allows teachers to know which standards students have mastered and which standards need additional teaching. Following these check-ins, teachers will provide additional opportunities for learning through small group instruction prior to the summative assessment. The district Common Formative Assessments (CFAs) are a category in the grade book at 5% for 1st-5th, however, this grade may be adjusted throughout the semester as students master standards.

PBIS at Mulberry
Hi Parents!
Our positive behavior system is off to a great start! Last Friday, students began spending the behavior bucks they have earned by following the expectations each and every day here at school. Be sure to ask your child what they have been doing to earn their bucks!
On September 30th, we will have our first big prize day where students can spend their bucks on items like free ice cream, special pencils, or even the opportunity to be on the morning announcements. We love to celebrate your child's SOARing behavior at Mulberry!

Mulberry Advisory Council
The Mulberry School Counselors are looking for volunteers to participate in our Advisory Council! Advisory councils, recommended by the American School Counselor Association, help school counseling programs analyze and document the answer to the question, “How are students different because of what school counselors do?” The council will examine services in three key domains of academic, personal/social, and college and career exploration and will review data related to the comprehensive developmental school counseling program at Mulberry Elementary School. The council will meet twice per year. Please reach out to Katie Fields at katie.fields@gcpsk12.org if you’re interested in participating!
