Dear Parents/Guardians:
Every year, each public school district in Massachusetts receives a report card. Just as your child’s report card shows how they are doing in different subjects, the school’s report card is designed to show families how our school is doing in different areas.
The report card includes multiple measures of a school’s performance – more than just MCAS scores. It represents a new way of looking at school performance, by providing information on student enrollment, teacher qualifications, accountability, and the progress our school is making toward narrowing proficiency gaps for different student groups, and more.
Report cards are designed to be useful tools for everyone connected to our school.
We encourage you to become involved in helping us improve our school. We see parents as critical partners in the success of our students and school, and we are grateful for your continued support.
Finally, if your child attends a school that receives federal Title I funds (GNB Voc-Tech receives these funds), you also have the right to request the following information about the qualifications of your child’s classroom teachers:
-
Whether your child’s teacher is licensed in the grade levels and subject areas they teach,
-
Whether your child’s teacher is teaching under an emergency license or waiver,
-
The college degree and major of your child’s teacher, and
-
Whether your child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.
If you have questions about our school’s report card or teacher qualifications, please contact the school during regular business hours: Monday through Friday from 7:30am to 3pm at (508) 998-3321
Sincerely,
James L. O’Brien
Superintendent-Director
