Attendance and Academics
All grade levels are being taught crucial skills that will last a life time and daily attendance is vital to your child's success. Classes have started our math curriculum, Reveal as well as our literacy curriculum, Wonders. Reveal is designed to build mathematic skills while also building the verbal capacities of children to think deeply about solving problems. Wonders teaches the components of literacy to build fluent readers with deep comprehension skills. The two curriculums work hand in hand because students talk out problems and use mathematical language that assists with reading comprehension and fluency. Thank you for partnering with us to make sure your children are here daily. If you have questions about your child's curriculum, please reach out to your child's teacher. In addition, the DPW is taking extra sanitizing and disinfecting the building.

PBIS at KCCS!
The Kenneth C. Coombs School is a PBIS school. PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports. This year at KCC we will be continuing to teach our youngest Mashpee Falcons that they can contribute to the strength and success of our school community by following our Falcon Five, a set of positive behavior expectations that we have for all of our students across the school day.
The Falcon Five are: Be Safe, Be Responsible, Be Respectful, Be Caring and Be Ready.
Throughout the year, staff members will be acknowledging and connecting with students as they follow these expectations and core values of our school. 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. Each week, classrooms will empty their nests into a school wide nest. As a school community, we will celebrate the success of our students once the school wide nest has been filled.
Occasionally, students may come home with Falcon Eggs in their pockets and backpacks. While we want to encourage students to contribute eggs to the nests at school, we understand and value that some of our KCC students may bring Falcon Eggs home because they want to share their school successes with families and caregivers. However, if you find that one too many Falcon Eggs have made their way into your home through this means, please know you are welcome to send them back into school where we will reuse them to continue to acknowledge our student’s success.
We look forward to working with families and caregivers this school year to help promote student success with following the Falcon Five!
Falcon Marathon Fridays!
Our Falcon Marathon Fridays will begin the week of September 22nd for all second graders. We will meet every Friday during Integrated Arts to walk, jog, or run one mile on school grounds or in the gym. Our goal is to have the students complete an entire Marathon (26.2 miles) by the end of May! Students will also be participating in mindfulness and gentle movement activities during this time. Please have your child bring a labeled water bottle, wear sneakers and weather appropriate clothing for outdoor activity. Thank you in advance for your support!
