The 30th anniversary year of South Shore Charter Public School has already been one of perpetual motion. Our Parents Association is off to an impressive start; coming together for a welcome coffee on Friday, September 20 as well as hosting a new family meet and greet last night. The SSCPS Annual Road Race was a splendid success on Saturday. 150 runners and walkers made their way through Wompatuck State Park supporting our school with every step. Photos from the event were taken by photographer and SSCPS alumna Mia Ray Straum. As we continue to celebrate 30 years, we were honored by members of our Foundation, Board of Trustees, and alumni who were in attendance. Here on campus we have hosted three Back-to-School Nights, a Senior Parent Information Night, and the DESE Site Visit. Fall sports continue to energize the school community with busy schedules for the Cross Country, Soccer, and Girls Volleyball teams. Be there no question, the school year is in full swing.
Academic achievement for every student remains at the forefront. The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education released the Spring 2024 MCAS results on September 24, 2024. South Shore Charter MCAS results may be found here on the DESE website. Teachers will be meeting to analyze MCAS data and use that information to inform instruction and curriculum. Although we review and assess all aspects of teaching and learning, the MCAS provides a specific window to help determine how closely teaching and learning is aligned to what is being measured by the MCAS. Families may expect individual student reports to be sent home over the next few weeks.
In my last message to our school community, I shared The South Shore Charter Public School Application for Renewal of a Public School Charter which may be found on the Public Policies & Documents page of the SSCPS website. I would encourage all families to review Criterion 1: Mission and Key Design Elements. Outlined within that section on pages 3-8 are important distinctions that make the South Shore Charter Public School different from other schools. The key design elements illustrate why we are a school of choice for so many students and families throughout the South Shore.
One of those key design elements is community service. An excerpt from the renewal application offers the description: “K-12 community service both through a project-based learning model and within student home communities.” However, we understand the meaning to have a far more exceptional reach. We are a school community that holds the shared value of being a part of something greater than ourselves. By choosing South Shore Charter Public School for your child, you have identified community service and kind acts towards others as an essential part of your child’s education and development. You have chosen to amplify the importance of helping others and extending friendship to those in need. As E.B. White once wrote, “That in itself is a tremendous thing.”
The school wide commitment to community service is both tremendous and evident. It was evident at the Parents Association welcome coffee, evident at the SSCPS Annual Road Race, and evident in our hallways and classrooms every day. Thank you for your commitment to the South Shore Charter Public School.
