Curriculum Enrichment & Support
Tewksbury Public Schools
Supporting Students and Families Through the Extended School Closure (as of 3-20-2020)
Dear TPS Community,
With the extended closing of our schools and related school-community resources, TPS would like to first take the opportunity to acknowledge the emotional impact this poses on students, families, and staff. People are digesting the reality of a long-term disconnect to regular school routines and to each other. We acknowledge the sense of loneliness and anxiety that has set in for many but know we are all Tewksbury Tough when needed.
Therefore, we have created a District-wide Curriculum Enrichment and Family Support Newsletter to provide suggestions to get through this change in our day-to-day lives. This newsletter will include ideas for curriculum-related enrichment and other support families may need. The enrichment resources below are not meant to be a replacement for instruction; they are not required and will not be graded upon return to school. Rather, they are a combination of digital and non-digital resources to help families create an environment at home where thinking, creativity, and a sense of routine can be achieved. Please know that after a phone conference with DESE today, major changes are likely, and we will communicate those changes to you as we move forward.
Many of the digital resources made available are already familiar to our students. You will also see that we grouped the activities by grade band to not overwhelm families as they search out enriching things to do. You may have already found your own enrichment activities that meet the needs and interests of your family.
Major decisions that impact the TPS district will continue to be communicated through Superintendent Malone's official district letter and will continue to be posted on our website: www.tewksbury.k12.ma.us.
Please know that all of us at TPS are committed to helping families through this time. We will continue to provide updates to this newsletter for Enrichment, Family Support & FAQ’s on a weekly basis or as needed in this ever-changing time. If you need further information or are having trouble connecting to the documents contained in this newsletter, please reach out to your building principal or me at bregan@tewksbury.k12.ma.us.
With an abundance of hope,
Brenda Theriault-Regan, Assistant Superintendent
