December 5, 2014 - Week 14

Dear Families,

It's been a great week at the Roderick School!

Thank you to all the families who were able to join us for the first Positive Referral breakfast of the 2014-2015 school year.  The Food Service department provided coffee, juice, and a variety of delicious treats for everyone to enjoy.  Thank you to them for all of their hard work organizing this event.  Lastly, a huge thank you to all of the students who continue to demonstrate outstanding character.  We are so proud of you for making such great choices each and every day!

Positive Referrals

Congratulations! These students showed exemplary behavior and were recognized for being wonderful role models in both their classroom and the school community.

Today, math coach Dr. John Ribeiro visited Mrs. McGee's fifth grade classroom.  He stopped by to assist students with common denominators.  

That the PTO has decided not to have their monthly meeting on Dec. 16th, but look forward to seeing everyone for their meeting of the New Year - Tuesday January 13th 2015!


Thank you to Derek Breen who visited Mrs. Fox's computer lab on Wednesday.  Mr. Breen (uncle of Ryan in Mrs. Kane's class) took some time to work with classes on the computer program Scratch.  

Vision screening for grades 5 & 6 will be occurring over the next few weeks, if you have any questions please contact Mrs. Cashman at 508.384.5435.
