Dear current fifth, sixth and seventh grade classroom and homeroom teachers: 

Please have your students complete the survey about their top three electives choices for next year. Please, please stress to your students that they should choose three different choices. For example, it is not helpful if a student puts basketball as their first, second and third choice. This survey will not hold them to a choice-it is to provide information to electives teachers to determine our offerings for the first Trimester. Please have the students read the entire list before they vote as the list is long

Thank you! Electives Team

Note from Mr. Paulling

The application is now open for the second cohort of Boston Educators for Equity starting in fall 2018. BEE is a monthly workshop series for a small, diverse group of teachers to get to know each other, investigate our racial and other identities, and talk about how systems of power and oppression play out within our schools and larger community. We use a grounded understanding of our own identities to find ways to work towards racial justice as educators and teacher leaders. For more info, check out our website or email bostoneducatorsforequity@gmail.com. Sign up soon to make sure you get a spot in this amazing group, and please forward to anyone else you think might be interested!

End of School Year Reminders

We’re getting into the final days of the school year, and it’s more important than ever to make sure we’re holding students to the same expectations as the beginning of the year. Remember when you have students in the outdoor spaces, they need to be monitored at all times. Be mindful of placement of adults so that you can see all students. (If you’re on the field, you probably can’t see students at the basketball court...) Also, please ensure that you are on time and present for all duties. This is important for student safety. Thank you! We can do this!

Moving On Ceremonies

We look forward to celebrate with students and families as they move on to the next grade. Below are the dates of the events for the next week:

Mr. Paulling's Final Shows

Here are the dates and times for the final week. All will be in the theatre arts room. I'm going to rehearse with those students on the stage to see if we can make it work, because both classes are performing together. Performances should last about 40 minutes. Due to the end of Ramadan celebration, Eid, the performance by Ms. Redden and Ms. Garcia's classes has been post-poned until Thursday, June 21st. For more information, please email Mr. Paulling at spaulling@bostonpublicschools.org.
