Dear Muddy Brook Families:
Every year, each public school and school district in Massachusetts receives a report card. Just as your child’s report card shows how they are doing in different subjects, the school’s report card is designed to show families how our school is doing in different areas. A link to our school’s report card is available at: http://reportcards.doe.mass.edu/2019/DistrictReportcard/06180035
The report card includes multiple measures of a school’s performance – more than just MCAS scores. It represents a new way of looking at school performance, by providing information on student achievement, teacher qualifications, student learning opportunities, and more.
Report cards are designed to be useful tools for everyone connected to our school. Families can use the information to have meaningful conversations with us about what the school is doing well and where there is room for improvement. Community and education leaders can use the information to better understand how to support students and our school.
You will notice on our report card that Muddy Brook is rated as “making substantial progress towards targets” in most areas. While we are proud of work and our school’s progress, closer examination of MCAS scores suggest areas for improvement and ongoing focus, such as mathematics.
Because Muddy Brook receives federal Title I funds, you have the right to request the following information about the qualifications of your child’s classroom teachers:
- Whether your child’s teacher is licensed in the grade levels and subject areas they teach,
- Whether your child’s teacher is teaching under an emergency license or waiver,
- The college degree and major of your child’s teacher, and
- Whether your child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.
If you have questions about our school’s report card, would like to become involved in school improvement activities, or would like to request information about the qualifications of your child’s classroom teacher, please contact Mr Lee. To see our district’s report card or to search for other schools’ report cards, visit http://reportcards.doe.mass.edu/2019/DistrictReportcard/06180000
Thank you for your continued support of our school.
Sincerely,
Timothy Lee, Principal
