This week at BCHMCPS



I am not sure where October has gone but we are looking at the last of October this week. As we bid farewell to October, the Garden Committee and PTO are busy preparing for the rescheduled Harvest Festival this Saturday. The festival will still take place in and around the garden with lots of fun for everyone. The Harvest Festival is a free event; if you are able, you are encouraged to bring a canned good for a food drive being held during the Harvest Festival. 



For the past two years our students and  families have honored veterans by creating a "flag garden" in the front green area of the school. Last Friday, your child should have brought home a form that allows you to name a veteran (or as many as you would like) that we will honor. We do this by writing the veteran's name on a tag that is adhered to a flag that will be planted in our flag garden. We hope this provides an opportunity for a discussion about the ways that others have given of themselves to keep us safe.


There are so many ways that you can support the school while just doing your everyday shopping. PTO vice-president Heather Gately offers the following fundraising opportunities you can sign up and/or access online using whatever device you use to shop. All funds benefit BCHMCPS and do not cost you anything. 

Don't forget to "like" the PTO's Facebook page to find important info about our school. Just search for "Bchmcps PTO" on Facebook.

Each spring our Grade 3 students take the MCAS, the Massachusetts' state assessment that all public and charter students take. Students are assessed in Math and English Language Arts. To see how last year's BCHMCPS Grade 3 students, now in Grade 4, did (really, really well!) use this link to access BCHMCPS's MCAS report:
http://profiles.doe.mass.edu/accountability/report/district.aspx?linkid=30&orgcode=04270000&orgtypecode=5&
This link will display the school's Accountability information. You can look at more detailed information by clicking on the "Detailed Information For Each Indicator" tab. Because we are a charter school, we are our own district as well and we are the only school in the "Schools in This District" tab. So, this tab will show BCHMCPs data, not Barnstable Public Schools' data.

This year, for the first time, student attendance in Grades 1-3 is counted in the school report. This is the one area where we see that we can improve and I ask your support in this. Please make sure that your child/ren attends school every day that he/she is healthy and that family vacations are not planned during school time.






Polished Dental is a group of dental professionals providing preventative dental care right at our school. Kids don't have to miss school and, you don't have to miss work. They will be at our school on Monday, Oct.29th. It's not to late to sign up. Please contact Mrs. Melley @ 508 790-6495 for any questions about this program.
