<br />
Our Metcalf students have been engaged, happy, and working very hard so far in 2020! In the shared album entitled, "<span style="color: red;">Metcalf Jan. & Feb.</span>" you will find pictures of some classroom activities, fun in Spanish class, as well as some special events such as the Kids' Heart Challenge. <br />
<br />
I have also shared photos and videos from our first <span style="color: blue;">Whole School Celebration of Learning</span> (WSC) which was hosted by our grade 6 students. The WSC is a chance to come together as a school community to highlight, share, and celebrate something we are proud of and excited about learning. As you'll see, our grade 6 students did a fabulous job teaching others about teen activism and being a leader in the community. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we enjoy spending each day with our students!<br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">The Grade 6 “Help the Homeless” fundraiser for the Welcome House in Peace Dale was a tremendous success. Headed up by Mr. Levett’s homeroom, the students organized a school-wide fundraiser after learning about teen activism. The students interviewed employees at the Welcome House to find out what their needs were. They then brainstormed ways to collect the items needed. Deciding upon a food drive, the students created posters, flyers, emails, and announcements to inform the school about the activity. Students collected classroom boxes each week, and tallied up the amount of items from each class and grade level. </span><br />

<li>If you arrive after 8:37 you will need to park and bring your child to the office to sign him/her in. The crossing guards cannot stay past this time because they have students they work with beginning at 8:40 each day.</li>

<b>Our school is joining the Hero Squad by participating in the Pennies for Patients</b> fundraiser, sponsored by The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) from <b>March 26 – April 13, 2018</b>. Pennies is a 3-week service-learning program that gives students the unique experience of working together to help raise awareness and funds in honor of thousands of children and adults fighting blood cancers - like leukemia – one of the leading fatal cancers of children ages 1 – 20. The 5-year survival rate for children under the age of 20 with the most common form of leukemia (ALL) went from 3% in the 1960s to almost 95% today. Every day we are getting closer to finding cures for all blood cancers!<br />
<br />
<b>Our goal is to raise $2,700 and WE NEED YOR HELP! </b> We are asking that everyone (students, faculty, parents, alumni, etc.) at Metcalf Elementary School join in this effort of raising awareness and giving funds to benefit the mission of LLS.<br />
<br />
<b>Share this link with your family and friends.</b> Click on the link here to donate <a href="http://events.lls.org/pages/ri/MetcalfElementarySchoolExeter-2018">Donate for Metcalf</a><br />
or find your student’s school at <a href="http://www.studentseries.org/rhode-island">Donation for Metcalf </a> THANK YOU!<br />
<br />
<b>Students raising $50+ for Pennies in RI will be entered into a Drawing for an Apple iPad!</b><br />
<br />
<b>Each student that raises $50+ online through their individual fundraising page by April 30, 2018 will receive an official Pennies T-shirt.</b> Our patient families greatly appreciate your support!<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thank you to Mrs. Christine Scott, Ms. Nellie Ryan, and Mrs. Caitlin Blake</b> for organizing this worthy cause once again this year!</i><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;"><b>Martin Luther King, Jr. Day</b></span></div>
Children and adults honored Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his ideals in many different ways at Metcalf. Acceptance of others and equality for all are the highlighted themes throughout Metcalf to not only to honor Dr. King, but also as a focus for our school community for the entire the school year. Teaching, practicing, and celebrating tolerance, understanding, and good character in our students is something we take very seriously each and every day and blend nicely with the <b>Social - Emotional Learning</b> initiative we are focusing on district wide.<br />
<br />
Just click the following link to see the beautiful job Mrs. Wilke's class did while exploring the meaning of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VgeDSf4UfZbe8wENOP_bxVcVw--tRP8A/view?usp=sharing">I Have A Dream</a><br />
<br />
As a faculty, we recognize how important it is for children to know they are part of a strong and accepting community in order to come to school ready to learn each day. As such, we have focused on <b>Social - Emotional Learning</b> and community building in our classrooms, grade levels, and school-wide. Many teachers have implemented morning meetings, special welcomes, and student lead discussion sessions to share ideas on how to improve our learning environment for all children at Metcalf. These are all components of a program/philosophy called, <b>Responsive Classroom</b> which we will continue to explore throughout the school year.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><b>Report Cards & the Parent Portal</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Report cards were published to the Parent Portal in December. This allows the first contact person listed for your child to log in and view and/or print the report card for your records. A parent survey regarding the Parent Portal and report cards was sent home in January with all students. Thank you to everyone for sending these back in a timely manner so we can answer questions and problem solve any issues related to the Parent Portal and report cards. Below you will find answers to the "Frequently Asked Questions" from our families.<br />
<br />
<b>1. What is Aspen and how/why does EWG use this system?</b><br />
Aspen is the EWG Student Information System. All districts are required by the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) to utilize a data management system to report demographics, grades, attendance rates, etc. to RIDE. This system also affords teachers a way to track student progress and identify strengths and needs in a timely manner. Additionally, the Aspen system includes a Parent Portal and Report Card component. As students progress through the EWG school system, the Parent Portal becomes more and more valuable to students, parents, and teachers. It allows parents access to student information, grades, and progress. It also becomes an important tool for students when creating and managing school schedules in the upper grades.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Why are report cards published to the Aspen Parent Portal instead of sending home hard copies?</b><br />
The report card component of Aspen enables parents of students in grades 2-12 to access their child's grades at any time through the Parent Portal. With almost 1700 students in our district, and report cards totaling 4-5 pages in length, this has proven to be a huge money saver (on paper, ink, and envelopes) for our district. Parents can decide to view the report card, and/or print it from home for their records. This has been an effective way to reduce tax payers costs while not impacting student programs...a win-win for all! <br />
<br />
<b>3. What happens if I have difficulty accessing the Parent Portal?</b><br />
While this may be fairly new at the elementary level, the Parent Portal has been used for many years at the secondary level. And as with anything new, it may be bumpy at first until we all settle into the new routines and become familiar with the necessary steps together. Most families easily accessed their child's report card quickly and easily. Some of the issues others encountered were very simple and able to be addressed almost immediately, i.e. different email in Aspen than the one a parent was trying to use, parents listed as the "2nd contact" needing to be added to the Parent Portal, etc. Julie Dionne, our District Data Manager and Student Information Systems Technician, is always happy to assist...and she's just a Help Ticket away! :) <a href="https://helpdesk.ewg.k12.ri.us/">EWG-Helpdesk</a><br />
<br />
<b>4. What if I don't have a Parent Portal account as of yet?</b><br />
I am working with Mrs. Dionne to ensure any families that don't yet have a Parent Portal account will have one soon. It is important that you use the email address that you provided to Metcalf on the Emergency Card in September, as this is the one listed in Aspen that will provide access to the Parent Portal once the account is up for you. You may also put in a Help Ticket at the following link.<br />
<a href="https://helpdesk.ewg.k12.ri.us/">EWG-Helpdesk</a><br />
<br />
Reminder, it is important to review and discuss the report card with your child to highlight those areas that he/she is excelling in, as well as supporting him/her in the areas that are presenting your child with difficulties. <b>Please contact your child's teacher if you have any questions regarding your child's progress.</b> </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Dress for the chill in the air!</span></b></div>
Please make sure your child comes to school dressed for the winter weather. We routinely go outside for recess even during the winter months so long as it's not stormy and the temperature isn't too frigid. The children also have unannounced fire drills and chilly bus rides every day. We have noted some children coming to school in shorts, short sleeved shirts, and/or only sweatshirts to keep them warm. Remember, winter coats are a must, and hats, mittens, boots & snow pants are necessary if they want to play in the snow! Please let us know if anyone in your family is in need of winter gear.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Hour of Code, Month of Code!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Mrs. Steever</b>, our new <b>Library Media Specialist</b>, made sure that all Metcalf students joined thousands of students from around the world to participate in the <b>Hour of Code</b> during the week of December 4th to celebrate <b>Computer Science Education Week</b>. The Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify "code", to show that anybody can learn the basics, and to broaden participation in the field of computer science. Metcalf students will continue to participate in activities at the Hour of Code website, as well as use other coding apps and websites appropriate to their grade level during their library classes through the month of December. Thank you, Mrs. Steever, for all the fabulous things you have brought to Metcalf School!</div>

Thank you to Miss Place and the entire grade 6 band for a lovely performance on Wednesday evening. It was very apparent that you've all received expert instruction from Miss Place since September and all practiced quite a bit leading up to your concert! The Metcalf cafeteria was transformed into a musical extravaganza for the evening!</div>

<div>
Let's all break out our favorite Ugly/Festive Sweaters on Monday, December 18th! I can't wait to see how the sweaters express everyone's true holiday spirit!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Rooster Games</span></b></div>
The librarian at the Exeter Public Library is hosting a Rooster Games book club event during the holiday break (with additional events planned for January, February and March as well). The event is free and ties directly to the Rooster Games books we want our students to read. The December event is about Ollie's Odyssey, a favorite with our students! You can find more information at the following link: <a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0B02Zykx6FhJWSWo3cWR1X252RGs">Rooster Game Book Club</a></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Brrr...it's COLD OUTSIDE!!</b></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please be sure your child comes to school dressed for the winter weather. We try to get outside every day if at all possible. The children are encouraged to bring in hats, mittens, snow pants, and snow boots if they'd like to play in the snow during recess. </div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The end of the first trimester has come to a close and report cards are now available through the Parent Portal in Aspen. This is our second year using a Standards-Based Report Card and we have made some slight changes based on feedback received. Some of the standards have been combined and/or clarified. Please remember that students are graded according to the expected progress at this time of year and only on those standards that have been taught thus far. You will also notice we are now using the same Academic Key as the Wawaloam report card: </span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Cafeteria Behavior</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The excitement of the season is evident at Metcalf. Children are happy, full of anticipation, and sometimes forgetful or our rules. ;) Please speak to your child about following all school rules, especially in the cafeteria during lunchtime. Grade six in particular has had great difficulty during this time. We hope the behavior improves so we can avoid silent lunches. Thank you in advance for your support at this busy time of year! </div>

Go to www.artsonia.com to order custom keepsakes with your child’s art. You can choose from a wide variety if items, such as t-shirts, mugs, greeting cards and much more. These one of a kind items with your child’s artwork printed on them make perfect keepsakes and holiday gifts!

<u style="font-weight: bold;">Cards For A Cause, (CFAC)</u>: As you know, the EWG Elementary Schools took over the CFAC Fundraising Program this year. This is a great way to support ALL three of our Elementary Schools simply by purchasing gift cards to your favorite stores! Completed forms should be sent to Metcalf School to Mariah Pearson, our Office Clerk. Right now, payments for gift cards must in in the form of cash or a check, but soon we will be able to accept credit card payments to make it even easier to support your schools! The CFAC Form is available on the Metcalf website under the Parent Tab/ Important Documents and at the following link: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Tuvaszhz9fVEjWEndZvZY8_FdqVksToMYvek__bIiF4/edit?ts=5a007fe2#">CFAC Order Form</a> Thank you so much for your continued support!<br />

<b>I would like to thank our EWG PTA members for all your support and creative ideas during the school year.</b> It has been wonderful to work with such a kind and devoted group of volunteers to bring so many fun and exciting programs to our children! Whether you made phone calls, prepared materials, chaired committees, volunteered to help at events, or came up with innovative ideas...the faculty and staff at Metcalf appreciates your time and effort to help make Metcalf such a dynamic place!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Please join me in congratulating Ms. Stacey Place on being a quarterfinalist for the </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>National Music Educator Award!</b> </div>
Ms. Place is one of only 197 music teachers from across the country being recognized for her outstanding contribution to music students everywhere! While teaching general music, chorus, and band, Stacey demonstrates her expertise and enthusiasm for all things musical! But her contribution to our school does not stop there!! As the leader of our School Culture Team, Stacey is responsible for community outreach, beginning and end-of-year activities, and educational programming that falls outside of our regular curriculum! Thank you to the students that took part in the videos and projects that helped Ms. Place achieve this very special and prestigious honor!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>We don't know how you do it all, Stacey!</b> </div>

Thank you to Stacey Place, Maureen Unsworth, Kristen Allen, Sheri O'Neil, Sharon LaFrenay, and Alicia Skaggs for all your hard work putting together a wonderful day for our students to enjoy!

<b><u>PARCC Schedule</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Please note that PARCC testing for students in grades 3-6 will begin after April vacation. PARCC is the state assessment that all public schools are required to administer once a year per the Rhode Island Department of Education. As educators, we use the state assessment results, along with other information, to adjust our curriculum as needed, design student programming, and make specific budget requests. All these decisions directly affect the educational experience your child has in the classroom on a daily basis. I, along with the entire faculty and staff at Metcalf, appreciate your support as we work together to continuously improve the educational experience for our students. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sessions are scheduled to take place during a 9:00-11:00 window on the days outlined below for each grade level. Please note that a testing window is given to provide teachers with flexibility in scheduling and that actual tests do not last the entire time. Again, I thank you kindly for your continued support.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Happy Retirement to you Mrs. Conklin!</u></b></span></div>
<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />
As many of you may have heard, today was Mrs. Conklin's last day at Metcalf School. Mrs. Conklin has been a special education teacher at Metcalf Elementary School since 1988. She is kind, devoted, and loved by all. She is also an incredibly dedicated New England Sport fan! So today the entire school and her family surprised her with an enthusiastic Metcalf "clap-out" to the tune of <i>Take Me Out to the Ballgame</i> to see her off on her well-deserved retirement! Thank you, Mrs. Conklin, for your 29 years of service to your students, families, colleagues, and the entire Exeter-West Greenwich community. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Please enjoy this moving video of Mrs. Conklin's send off at the following link: </span> <a href="https://youtu.be/JpYZe9rbxCQ">Thank you, Mrs. Conklin!</a><br />

Metcalf School was full of Patriot pride to celebrate the approaching Super Bowl weekend! Students that came to school dressed in Patriot, <i>or Falcon,</i> 😉 team colors or jerseys were given an eraser to thank them for their Super Bowl spirit.

The Finch is a small robot designed to inspire and delight students learning computer science by providing them with a tangible representation of their code. There are a myriad of activities that can be done with the Finches. With light, temperature and obstacle sensors, buzzers, LEDs, accelerometers and even a pen mount for drawing, the options are limitless. Students in Mrs. Hanley's 5th grade class have been learning so much! They are amazed at the things they have been able to program these little robots to do...and say! </div>

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Morning Drop Off at Metcalf</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>First of all...THANK YOU!! </b> I sincerely want to thank our parents for remembering to follow the new traffic pattern. I am looking forward to the arrival of spring to see improvements made to our new entrance which will include widening the new entrance area, as well as installing additional signage and lighting. These will certainly be welcome improvements to the Metcalf campus!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now a few reminders...for safety purposes, after you pull into the new entrance, please remember to proceed slowly up to the drop off area before your child exits the car from the rear, left side of your vehicle between 8:22 and 8:37 when dropping your child off in the morning. This is to ensure the safety of all students during morning arrival. Additionally, please note the RI Child Car Seat Laws that I have been asked to provide as a gentle reminder to the Metcalf community.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Rhode Island Child Car Seat Laws:</b></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><u>Children under 8 years old, less than 57 inches tall, and/or weighing less than 80 lbs.</u> must be transported in the r<b>ear seating position of a motor vehicle </b>and properly restrained in a child restraint system.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Children between 8 to 12 years old must be wearing a properly fitting seat belt.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Thursday Morning Chorus:</b> Some questions have arisen regarding the arrival procedures for our chorus students that come to school early on Thursday mornings so we would like to clarify. Please do not allow your child to walk from the parking lot and cross the crosswalk to the building without adult supervision at any point, as we do not have crossing guards available until 8:22. </div>
<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>If you arrive prior to 7:55</b> (which is when buses begin to arrive) you may pull into the new entrance, continue through the parking lot, and then pull around to the left and directly up to the curb in front of the school to drop your child off for chorus on Thursday mornings. You will then be able to continue all the way around the school and exit the Metcalf campus. You may also park your vehicle in the lot and see your child safely across the crosswalk to the building. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>If you arrive after 7:55 </b>(which is when buses begin to arrive) you must park and walk your child to the building. You will not be able to pull up to the curb and around the building because buses will be in this lane. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions regarding chorus drop-off. Thank you so much! </li>

<b style="font-size: x-large;"><u>Honoring the Whole Child</u></b></div>
When we asked for your feedback last year in helping us design a new award system for our Metcalf students, we couldn't have been more pleased with the number of responses and the thoughtfulness that was evident in those we received. We took this valuable information from students, parents, and teachers and used it to come up with a wide range of <b>Metcalf Mustang Awards</b> that would enable us to recognize academic success, as well as honor and promote such attributes as kindness, perseverance, and even special talents. It has been heartwarming to officially honor so many different and important attributes in our students this year. The children have been absolutely delighted to be recognized themselves, or to see their classmates honored in such a comprehensive way. All students will be honored at least once throughout the school year, as we believe that all students have that "something special" that may just need to be coaxed out into the open. <br />
<br />
We also realized we needed to expand the experiences of our students so they could discover some of their hidden talents for themselves. We have done this through our very successful Elective Rotations that take place for each grade level one time per week. Students participate in electives that focus on literature, computer programming, health & fitness, the arts, and chorus. In doing so, students and teachers have had endless positive and creative experiences during this time! Thank you to the Metcalf faculty and staff for stepping outside the box and working so hard to make the elective rotations be so successful for our students! I invite all families to join us for the G<b>rade 5 & 6 Chorus Concert this Thursday night at Metcalf at 7:00</b>. There are sure to be a few "hidden talents" that we have uncovered thus far! :) <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">English Language Arts & Social Studies at Metcalf</span></u></b></div>
Teachers have been working very hard to develop Units of Study that blend novel studies, non-fiction literature, history, and English Language Arts & Social Studies skills, concepts, and content together at each grade level. This is a complex process that requires a commitment to student learning, high expectations, differentiation, and understanding curriculum design. I am happy to say there is no shortage of any of these attributes in our faculty at Metcalf! Teachers have focused on what students should know and be able to do, designed interesting lessons, researched and purchased necessary resources, and have begun to implement these units with great success! Students are learning about many past and present cultural events and experiences through literature, research, and deep discussions in the classroom. The children are visibly excited and enjoying this approach. I thank our faculty for creating such rich experiences for our students to engage in as they explore the history of the world, our nation, and even Little Rhody itself!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Grade Configuration for 2017-2018</u></b></span></div>
As you may have heard, grade 2 will be moving to Metcalf next year to help ease the space issues at Wawaloam. This means Metcalf will house grades 2-6 next year! Luckily, we have the room and couldn't be more excited to have our little friends join us. We are already painting rooms and reorganizing things so they will all feel welcome on their first day with us. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding the new grade configurations. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Regular Attendance</u></b></span></div>
I recently participated in a workshop with other EWG administrators to learn the relationship between school attendance and academic success from kindergarten through grade twelve. Chronic absenteeism from school is a national crisis, and Exeter-West Greenwich is no different. While we do not experience the same high levels of chronic absenteeism as some other districts in our state and nation, the fact is that many of our children have developed patterns of regular non-attendance that are of significant concern.<br />
<br />
<div>
Chronic absenteeism from school is defined as missing 10% or more of the school year (18 or more days for a 180-day school year). This amounts to an average of just 2 days or more per month.... and while that statistic does not appear to be alarming, reputable national studies indicate otherwise.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Studies show that students with just one year of chronic absenteeism in grades 1 through 5 were 5.9 times more likely to be chronically absent in grade 6. Students with two years of chronic absenteeism in grades 1 through 5 were 7.8 times more likely to be chronically absent in grade 6. And students who were chronically absent three times in grades 1 through 5 were 18.0 times more likely to be chronically absent in grade 6. Patterns of good attendance are established early in a child's educational career... and it matters a lot! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The data shows that students that are chronically absent in the lower grades preform lower on assessments, fail to develop good study habits, continue to be chronically absent through high school, and are more likely to drop out of high school. <b>Not only that...we miss them immensely if they are not in school!</b> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To that end, in EWG we are taking a close look at our attendance rates at all levels, and our graduation rates and drop-out rates at the high school level. The trend is concerning. Although addressing the issue will require a multi-faceted approach, attendance at school is one of the variables that everyone can help us to improve. If you haven't already done so, please see Superintendent Erinake's Blog for specific EWG data and statistics at: http://erinakes.blogspot.com/ </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Metcalf Family Mid-Year Feedback</u></b></span></div>
<div>
It is important for us to get feedback from the Metcalf community to help make informed decisions regarding programming for our students, communication methods, etc. To that end, I will be sending out an anonymous, and short, survey for families to take this week. I thank you in advance for your participation. </div>
