The Falcon Eye! 10/13/23

Thank you Mashpee PD for supporting our students at KCC!
 


K.C. Coombs School Council
What is a school council? A school council is a representative, school building-based committee composed of the principal, parents, teachers, community members and, at the secondary level, students, required to be established by each school pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 71, Section 59C. 

The goal of the council is to assist the principal with review of school/district policies and review new school initiatives with a focus on improved outcomes for students.   Click here to fill out this form if interested in being a member. More information in the link.

Parent Teacher conferences are important times to make sure you are aware of your child's progress at school. Please click the link or use the QR code to sign up for a time and date with your child's teacher. During conferences, childcare is not provided at the school. Dates are 10/19 and 10/24.  https://www.myconferencetime.com/mashpee


The Falcon Nest!

Throughout the year, staff members will be acknowledging and connecting with students as they follow the Falcon 5. As a way to mark these successful moments for students, staff members may give students “Falcon Eggs”  (shiny metallic coins) for them to contribute to a Falcon nest jar within their own classroom. Every other week, classrooms will empty their nests into a school wide nest. 

Students have filled the nest twice so far this school year! Each time the nest is filled, the school will celebrate as a community. Last month, Thunder swooped down from his nest and visited every classroom to show pride in student success. This week, students in prek and K had a picnic outside and 1st/2nd graders got to pick their seat at lunch! 

The focus of each celebration is centered around community and recognizing how we contribute to a great place to learn!
