PARENTS: NEW FORM REFLECTS STANDARDS-BASED REPORTING
At parent/teacher conferences, forms provide parents of students in Grades 1-5 with a record of their child's performance over the course of the year. This fall marks the start of the transition to a revised form reflecting a shift to standards-based reporting. The new form serves the same purpose, but provides more specific information about students' learning with respect to the content area benchmarks described in Brookline Learning Expectations.

Written for ages 5-12, this play will be enjoyed by all!

This program was cut from the town budget two years ago and has been funded with PTO support. All proceeds from tickets and bake sale will directly benefit the program.
