Happy Friday!

Math MAY-Hem continues at the DeMello School with today's Math T-Shirt Day! The students really loved showing off their creative designs and funny tees! Enjoy the photos below of our young mathematicians!

We are happy to announce that we have completed all sessions of MCAS testing in grades 3-5. We will be working on make-up testing for students who were absent on testing days next week! Our 3rd, 4th and 5th graders should be so proud of their efforts!

A big shout out to DPS art teachers for a wonderful art show this year! It was wonderful seeing creations from our pre-K students all the way up to high school. A special thanks to our amazing art teacher, Miss Hannah Robidoux, for all of the work she does with our little artists each day at DeMello.

Last Monday, we kicked off our 2024 Boosterthon Fun Run drive! We hope your students have come home excited about this year's program. Our run will take place on Wednesday, 5/15. Grades 4 and 5 will run from 12:45-1:45 and grades 1-3 will run from 2:00-3:00. Weather-permitting, we welcome all families to watch the run with us in the DeMello backyard. We will let families know if we need to move the event in doors due to rain by Monday afternoon. Fingers crossed the weather cooperates. Thanks for your support!

As you may already know, the DeMello School is welcoming the three kindergarten classrooms from the Cushman School in the fall. We couldn't be more excited to have the kindergarten back at DeMello for the first time in many years! It will be wonderful to have these little ones here for the entirety of their elementary years. I can't wait to greet them in August!

Please see the attached Kindergarten registration flyer and be sure to register your K student as soon as possible. Also, if you know of anyone in town who has a child who will be 5 before September 1st, please encourage them to register immediately. The key to starting the new year successfully is in knowing how many kindergarten students we need to plan for, and planning starts NOW! Please visit the Kindergarten site at dartmouth.school for more information.

Thank you :)
