2024-2025 Scarborough Public Schools Calendar

In the days and weeks leading up to the election, students in Wentworth social studies classes learned about the branches of government, the electoral college, how elections work and more in some very creative ways! Some Learning Communities held their own student elections, some visited "mock" polls to vote for their favorite candies and activities, and some took a Scarborough PD supported walk up to SHS to (safely) see the real polling place in action. We even had our own political campaigns, complete with campaign managers and advertisements in some of the fifth grade classes!

I know our amazing students will continue to grow in their understanding of this complex system, continue to develop their own ideas, and will contribute so much to our world! Here are some photos of students engaged in learning about social studies.

Dear Wentworth Families,

While you are welcome to request to meet with a teacher regarding your child’s progress at any time throughout the year, Wentworth designates time as a school in the fall and spring to offer formal conferences. This year, Fall Conferences will be held between November 12-26. We find these conferences to be valuable, and an opportunity to learn more about your child’s progress in addition to their work and teachers’ individual communications that occur throughout the year. We look forward to meeting with you.

Wentworth School will use Conference Manager by SchoolSoft to schedule conferences. We ask that you please coordinate between parents/guardians the date/time that works best for both of you to meet together. Instructions are included below for how to create an account (or use an account you have already created) to log on to Conference Manager scheduling system where you may select dates and times that are convenient for you and your family. Registration for conferences will begin on Monday October 28th at 6:00AM through Sunday, November 10th at 6:00PM. Once you have completed your requests, an email confirmation will be sent to you.

• Please sign up for one conference with your child’s homeroom teacher

• We encourage you to also sign up to meet with one or more Allied Arts teachers

• Additionally, please sign up with your child’s case manager, math/literacy support teacher and/or student advocate; they are looking forward to discussing your child’s progress toward their goals!

Here is the link for parents to register click here or copy and paste this address to your browser: https://scarboroughschools.schoolsoft.com/login.jsf. If you have questions regarding this process, please contact LyndaLee Landry at 730-4609 from 8:00 – 3:00, Monday-Friday. Our teachers are available by telephone or email if you have questions or have a unique scheduling situation. Thank you for your continued support; we are looking forward to the opportunity to discuss your child’s successes and goals together!

Sincerely,

Kelli Crosby

Principal
