Upcoming Dates

5/26 - Para interviews (9 a.m., 1-3 p.m.); School Site Council (12-1 p.m.)

5/29 - Community Meeting & Talent Show 2 p.m. MJP scholars and staff interested in performing should contact Ms. Russell at hrussell2@bostonpublicschools.org.
Second Step Skill of the Week: SELF CARE - the practice of taking an active role in protecting your own well-being and happiness, especially during periods of stress

Superintendent's Updates
Beginning this month, every BPS family will receive EBT financial assistance ($28.50 per week per child). Families with EBT cards will have this automatically deposited. Families without EBT cards will receive a P-EBT card which can be used at any store that says they accept EBT. The card is valid for one year.
Family Assistance: If families need help, they should call the Family Help Line.
School clean-out/EOY Packing Up: There will be a window of time for staff and students to clean out classrooms and pick up their items tentatively 6/15-6/22; BPS is in the process of testing this on a smaller scale before doing it more broadly districtwide. More details will be shared in the weeks to come.
Summer Learning - This summer, BPS is hoping to serve...
Gen Ed - 5,000 students
SWD - 2,250 students
ELL - 2,250 students
Early Childhood - 500 students
Summer wraparound services will continue (meal services). 16 Food sites will continue and door-to-door delivery for students receiving transportation services.
Sincerely,
Maisha Rounds, Proud Principal
