Whether you currently work with children in another capacity, like Antoinette, or you simply have a positive attitude and a willingness to engage with kids, there is a strong demand for your skills as a substitute teacher. By taking on this role, you will not only play a vital part in shaping the next generation but you will also provide essential support to our teachers, helping them succeed in their roles.

The MCAS testing windows will remain open until early June, and we are proud of the hard work our students and educators have put into preparing for these important assessments. A special shoutout goes to Richer School, which has held various fun, whole-school events to help motivate students to do well on their tests.

In March, Richer students in grades 3-5 participated in a series of Growth Walks. During these events, they paraded down the halls carrying decorated posters showcasing their academic growth, while their fellow students cheered them on. Additionally, the Richer School rolled out the red carpet for students at a high-energy pep rally on Monday, sharing valuable test-taking strategies and practical tips, including the importance of getting a good night's sleep and carefully answering each question.

Good luck to all of our students! We believe in you and are cheering you on every step of the way.
