We’re excited to celebrate Kate Lyons-Mailloux, Director of ESL, as this week’s MPSD Educator of the Week! Kate plays a vital role in supporting English Learner (EL) students across the district, from PreK through grade 12. She collaborates closely with teachers and administrators to ensure inclusive, effective instruction and provides essential training and consultation that empowers staff to meet the diverse needs of EL students.

Beyond the classroom, Kate builds strong connections with families through her leadership in the English Learner Parent Advisory Council (ELPac), fostering communication, engagement, and trust. Most recently, she was instrumental in organizing the vibrant and successful MPSD Mosaic Event, a joyful celebration of our district’s cultural richness and community spirit.

Kate’s passion, expertise, and unwavering commitment make a lasting impact on students, families, and educators alike. Thank you, Kate, for all that you do to help every learner feel seen, supported, and celebrated!

Our third Belonging Team Meeting took place Monday, March 3, 2025. We looked deeply at what is happening with belonging initiatives throughout the district and heard from some fabulous high school students who are starting a "Breaking Boundaries" club to work with elementary schools regarding social-emotional learning. We will continue to update the community on our progress. Here are some images from the third meeting:

Student voice in everything we do at Marshfield Public Schools is important and valued. To further student voice throughout the district, I am happy to announce the formation of the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council (SSAC). The SSAC meets with ​the Superintendent monthly, and Assistant Superintendents and other leaders (when they are available) to advise, to provide feedback, and to present viable solutions on District initiatives and programs.

Our first three meetings were wonderful. We began to formulate a student voice survey, created community agreements for our work, got to know each other better, and looked at the role of this important team. In our third meeting, with the high school and middle school students, we talked about our cell phone policies and the current implementation of those policies at the middle and the high school. In our fourth meeting, we talked about school pride and safety.

At our fifth meeting, our younger advisory council members worked with our middle and high school members to talk about ways student voice is being heard throughout the district and to brainstorm ways we can expand voice for all.

This week's meeting involved a discussion regarding "Belonging" in our schools. Thank you to DWS Principal MacNeill, for helping to lead the discussion. Great job, students!

Our Learning Walks this year will revolve around Deep Student Engagement, Task Development, and Learning Environment for Students. The District Leader established look-fors are inspired by Amy Berry and her book Reimagining Student Learning, From Disrupting to Driving. This is a multi-year focus, which will involve all stakeholders.

In a nutshell, we will focus on those elements in the classroom that move students from disrupting to driving learning, while also focusing on the development of strong tasks to engage the students within a culturally responsive climate that promotes inclusion.

These lookfors are being unwrapped at staff meetings across the district. This week we engaged in a learning walk of Eames Way Elementary School.

Save the date: May 19th 6:30-8:00 ELPAC Meeting

Despite the difficult weather and field conditions our Spring Teams are underway and battling their opponents, and at times, the inclement weather.

The Girls Lacrosse Team warmed up the weather around here with 2 impressive home wins this week. The Rams opened the week with a 17 – 9 win over Pembroke and followed that up with another win yesterday over Quincy, 15 – 4.
