Nathaniel Morton Students Write Holiday Cards to Students Around the World

Second grade students at Nathaniel Morton Elementary participated in a holiday card exchange project to celebrate the December holidays.

Each classroom was teamed up with 29 other classrooms around the world to exchange cards. Students created original cards within their classrooms and mailed them out at the beginning of December. When the classrooms began to receive cards, students were very excited to learn about similarities and differences between themselves and their partner classes. This year's card theme was snow globes.   All of the cards received were collected for a display which included a map with stickers showing the senders' locations. Cards have been received from over twenty-nine states and Canada! Students utilized Google Earth to explore locations and one class was able to Skype with a partner class in Prince Rupert, BC Canada. It was a memorable project …

School Should Open Wednesday

After two days of cancelled classes, Plymouth schools should be open Wednesday after minimal damage from Hurricane Sandy.

Plymouth Schools Superintendant Gary Maestas said school buildings sustained little damage from Hurricane Sandy Monday and that school will be open Wednesday.

With five snow days built into the school calendar, a bad winter could mean adding even more days, Maestas said. Plymouth cancelled school for Monday late Sunday. Tuesday was cancelled late Monday night as administrators received reports about conditions at Plymouth's 13 school buildings. "Our concern is we get the kids to and from school safely," Maestas said. Monday, South Elementary lost power and other buildings had trouble with computer systems, but so far, the only damage has been …

I don't think the intention of Twitter is to convey very important information, no more than Facebook is a good medium for important information; however, both are good platforms for conveying information that may not be vital, but adds something to the discussion. Mr. Palladino's Twitter feed is mainly comprised of photos and quick tweets about teachers and students and activities he'd like to …   more ›

Rising Tide News

News, announcements and events from Rising Tide Charter School.

Now that we are several weeks into the school year, it is likely that homework has become a significant topic for families at home. A recent article in the Boston Globe, "Finished with your homework?" written by Beth Teitell, highlights that the completion of homework can be a challenge for many students and their families across the Commonwealth.    At Rising Tide, we view independent work, or homework, as essential to the learning process for students. Through practice, reflection, analysis, and synthesis of material, students are able to develop skills, deepen understanding, and gain content knowledge. Research has shown that there is a relationship between the time spent on homework and academic achievement for secondary school …

Plymouth Bus Rules and Policies

The wheels on the bus go 'round and round, but the kids who ride it shouldn't.

Family Support Resources - Bus Services-Rules and Policies The ride to and from school is essentially an extension of the school itself. Improper conduct aboard the bus is to be treated as a school offense, subject to punishment at the discretion of school administration. This may well mean a denial of the privilege of transportation. Continued offenses are to be accepted as cause for a hearing before the Assistant Superintendent of Schools or the School Committee.
