Comic Relief for Parents and Caregivers

A Message from Ms. Daly! 

Next week we will be starting the American Heart Association’s Kid Heart Challenge! This is a voluntary fundraiser for the American Heart Association. We will be learning ways to keep our hearts and brains healthy in Physical Education class. Students can earn fun thank-you gifts and earn Physical Education equipment for our school. Thank you in advance for your support of this worthwhile program!

Falcon 5 Community Meeting!

The Falcon 5 is an important part of our KCC community and sets the stage for successful school behavior that leads to high academic achievement. This month Dr. Goulart and Mr. Prehna ran our first community meetings of the school year that focused on pro-social behaviors with the Falcon 5. Grade levels were broken up by 2nd and K and then Prek and 1st. Students were asked to be social detectives when watching videos of peers in class and still photos where students were focused on work. Until our next Community Meeting, we will be paying extra special attention to student behaviors in the hallway. Since we are all connected, hallway behaviors effect everyone and Falcon Eggs go into the nest so we call benefit from positive outcomes. 

Parent Drop Off and Pick Up

Thank you parents and guardians for keeping our morning drop off and afternoon pick up running smoothly. Recently, we have had an uptick of vehicles driving around vehicles without being directed by KCC staff. Only drive around vehicles while in line if directed by KCC staff and/our Mashpee Police officers.  Passing cars can be dangerous during these busy times because of how young our students are at KCC. In addition, please follow all traffic directions by staff at the intersection in the morning.

KEEP THEM SAFE: 

A message from Suzy Brooks, MPS Director of Instructional Technology

Thank you to the parents, caregivers, guardians and educators who attended last night's Zoom training on internet safety called Keep Them Safe.  We know schedules are a challenge, so we are proud to be able to share the resources and video with everyone who missed it.  Myself, Officer Hennessey and Miss Ferreira have worked hard to find ways to support our students and their families on the uncomfortable topics of sexting, online harassment, cyberbullying, sextorion and human trafficking.  The resources and recordings below will give you a starting point whether your student is 4 or 14... whether you are tech savvy or not, whether you are just starting to learn, or still learning.

• Here is the recording to the webinar (1 hour, 11 minutes) on YouTube:  https://youtu.be/Y2lG_L7M1mc
• The webinar takes you on a tour of the custom-built website designed to get you up to speed on the challenges our students are facing online.  This website includes videos, websites, articles, resources, gaming support and tools to explore. We suggest you spend time as caregivers learning yourself and then decide which elements are appropriate to share with your children.  https://sites.google.com/mpspk12.org/mpsfamilyresources/home The link to this website is located under Parents on the Mashpee Public Schools website, too. We suggest you bookmark it. 

The three of us chatted for a while after our guests logged off... wishing we had more time, thinking of more strategies we wanted to share and excited about the thought of presenting again. We welcome your feedback as we plan what is next.  If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out.

Online Safety Family Resources

We have assembled a collection of resources designed to support our students, families and staff as they navigate an ever-changing, complex world.   Safety doesn't happen by accident. It happens when we are aware of and equipped with tools to make Informed decisions. 

Please join us Wednesday, January 25 at 6:30pm via Zoom where we will share resources and ideas for families to support students. 

Very Important: This presentation is for adults. We are sharing information to help support students In all grade levels, but it is not for them to attend. Headphones and a quiet space is recommended.  Contact sbrooks@mpspk12.org with questions.

Library News!

Just a reminder that students are expected to return their Library books on Library day. Students who are absent may return their book the next day (before morning announcements) and get a new book. Students who forget their book will choose a book off of a special cart in the Library. Please note that the original Library book still needs to be returned. Library books have the KCC barcode on the back of the book. If the book is lost, please contact me as it will need to be replaced. I do understand that things happen and books are forgotten once in a while. I do advise students to keep their book in their green bag right in their backpack when they are not reading it to help eliminate this problem. Just a side note-I never let them blame you when they forget their book! :) Thank you for your support.
