The Halloween Dance was a huge success! A BIG thank you to Kara Brodsky, Karen Hite, Amy Pollock Howard, and Carol Pelon for all their time and help in planning the event. Thank you to ALL the families for the Bake Sale treats! We had more than ever and had enough to sell the following Tuesday at the pizza sale! Thank you to all the teachers for their terrific “treats” and all the families who overflowed the buckets for the raffle.
New Kindergarten Assessment: During the month of September, all Kindergarten teachers participated in training to learn how to use a new formative assessment tool called Teaching Strategies GOLD. Newton, like many districts across the state, is part of an initiative called the Massachusetts Kindergarten Entry Assessment (MKEA). This is a collaboration of the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) and the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), and is part of the federal Race to the Top/Early Learning Challenge Grant.
