Principal's Message
Dear Johnson Families,
During the next week, Spring 2022 Next Gen MCAS testing individual results for students who were in grades 3 - 8 will be mailed home. Back in 2017, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (ESE) upgraded MCAS to better measure the critical thinking skills students need for success in the 21st century. This month, we will begin to analyze MCAS and other district-wide assessment data on student performance. The Massachusetts DESE has posted information on Spring 2022 school and district results. Some of the Test Items from Spring 2022 Test Items are also available on the DESE website, https://www.doe.mass.edu/mcas/2022/release/
Best regards,
John

2 - REMINDER FOR PARENTS WHO WANT TO VOLUNTEER - Volunteer--CORI Checks
If you want to volunteer in schools, you must have a CORI check conducted and you must go into the building with identification (drivers license or passport) to do this. Click here for description of what a CORI check is and does. Without a CORI check, you cannot volunteer in the school. Here is the form to fill out for a CORI.
3 - REQUIRED YEARLY FORMS
You should have received an email from PowerSchool to complete your required yearly forms. If you did not receive an email please reach out to the main office or check your SPAM folder. We still have several families that have not completed these forms. PLEASE COMPLETE THESE ASAP!
4 - FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
We have a range of financial supports available in the Natick Public Schools. This includes assistance with school fees, such as the bus and picture day, scholarships for programs such as the Book Fair and connections to community resources that may be helpful. If you are interested in these programs, please contact Laura Loftus, our school counselors, to have a private conversation. Her email is lloftus@natickps.org.
