Guidance Office Announcement 

Dear Staff, I will be out of the office 10/20/16 until 10/28/16 attending a Urban Leadership conference in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This means, the Guidance Office is closed during this time. If you need assistance during my absence (i.e. crisis management), please contact an administrator. Thank you! Sugeily

Halloween

The Curley K-8 will not have a Halloween celebration during the school day. As a community we are focused on health and wellness and therefore we ask that all candy remain at home. We are also asking that students leave all costumes, masks and face painting at home as well. Thank you in advance for your support around this matter.

Open Circle

We'd love all of you, especially those new to the building, to join us in Ms. Burke's room (017) before school for a meet and greet breakfast Friday Oct. 21st. We hope everyone has already received a teacher resource guide for their grade level. If we missed you, please let Christina Burke (cburke4@bostonpublicschools.org) and Eva Banks (epromponas@bostonpublicschools.org) know ASAP and we will provide one. We would love to know how teaching Open Circle is going for you so far and discuss anything that has been a challenge for you up to this point. 

STAR Math Assessment  Window(Gr. 3-8 Only)

The fall screening window for the STAR Math Assessment is 

October 11 – 21.   The STAR website can be accessed by all students using the STAR bookmark on Chromebooks. Student user names and passwords are the same as STAR Reading. Students can use blank scratch paper and a pencil while testing, but no calculators or reference materials are allowed.

Just a reminder, students must sign into Chromebooks using their email address and password – not as “guest”.  The math test is similar in format to the reading assessment taken last month. Grade level teams should arrange to share access to Chromecarts so that all students are tested during the screening window.  Please contact Sean Guthrie if you have any questions.
