Standards Based Reporting Information Sessions - 10/16/19
This year the Blake faculty is continuing and expanding our work and efforts to provide effective methods of formal and informal feedback for students. As such, in lieu of traditional grades, students at Blake will be receiving feedback in the form of Standards Based Reporting (SBR) in some of their classes. SBR is a researched-based, impactful feedback system that is gaining traction in a growing number of schools across the United States.
Instead of a letter grade, students will receive feedback in two major areas: (1) Content Standards and (2) Learning Skills. The Content Standards feedback provides information on the student's progress on meeting content area curriculum standards addressed by each department. Learning Skills feedback gives information on the student's progress on acquiring skills important for life-long learning that we strive to foster and help develop in our students.
We are pleased with the progress made to date. SBR has enabled us to provide:
Wednesday, October 16
11:15 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
(These sessions will share the same information)
Please RSVP via our Google Form: Standards Based Reporting Information Sessions Fall 2019
Term 1 Interim Reports
This Friday students will be bringing home their interim reports for the first term. The interim report is a mid-term progress update on students' effort and work based on the first five weeks of school. It is not a report card and the expectation is that students will follow up on any suggestions that teachers provide in the interim report. Time will be spent in advisory reflecting upon the work they have accomplished, as well as setting healthy goals for the second half of the term. The signature sheet that accompanies the report should be returned on Monday, October 21 to advisory teachers. If you have any questions about your child's work on the reports, please start by having a conversation with your own child. If questions still exist, you should contact the teacher directly to gain more insight.
Advisory Update for Blake
In Wednesday’s advisory this week, students will be completing a pre-interim reflection. Some things students will be asked to think about include: some successes and challenges they’ve had thus far, the frequency of extra help sessions they have attended, and if they feel like they have been doing well so far this year. This will help them think about first term before they have seen their interim reports.

Go Purple Spirit Day
LGBTQ+ students are significantly more likely to experience bullying in schools due to their identity. Spirit Day is a national day of support sponsored by GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation). On Friday, October 18th, the Blake Gay-Straight Alliance will recognize the national Spirit Day (one day late because of the shortened school week) by inviting students and staff to wear purple to show support of LGBTQ+ youth and take a stand against bullying. For more information, please go to https://www.glaad.org/spiritday
Seventh Grade Trip to Nature's Classroom Reminders
Please note: It is important to email Mrs. Silva, Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Campbell (all three please) if your child receives an injury over the weekend before the trip that limits your child’s mobility. If your child becomes ill over the weekend and requires a new medication during the trip, please bring the linked med administration form to the doctor with you and drop off the medication and form to Mrs. Williams the morning of the trip.
It’s an early start! Get ready for the 6:10 am drop off on Tuesday, October 22! Seventh graders should report to their bus to get their luggage tags, put the tags on the luggage and board the bus with their backpack. If your child is unable to go at the last second, please call the Blake office and your child’s roommate. We will find another room for the roommate to stay in at Nature’s Classroom.
Packing: A packing list and final details can be found here Nature's Classroom Final Details. On Tuesday, 10/15 a paper will be/was sent home with your child's bus and room number. The paper also lists the type of beds in the room. If you are sending your child with sheets, please check for the form carefully. Some rooms have full and queen sized beds. Roommates can arrange which beds they will be sleeping in. Folding beds will be brought in, if needed, to provide a bed for each student.
Medication: Please be sure your child takes their morning medications at home before the trip.
Bus Ride: Please be sure your child is dressed for the day when they board the bus. Long pants and closed toe shoes, please. Rain jackets if it is rainy. They should have a nut-free snack, a filled water bottle with their name on it and a book or non-electronic game to keep them busy. We expect to be home between 2:30 pm and 3:00 pm on Friday, 10/25. We will be in touch with Mr. Vaughn to update our progress. Watch for his Tweets!
Electronics: Please do not allow your child to bring electronics or cell phones in any form. They are not allowed on the trip and will be confiscated.
Food: Except for the snack for the bus ride to Nature’s Classroom, do not allow your child to bring food or candy of any type. Food allergies and safety are a serious concern and students found with food or candy in their room will serve community service at Nature’s Classroom and all food will be confiscated.
Clothing: Students are not allowed to wear shorts outside of their room due to poison ivy and ticks. Please send a warm winter jacket, gloves and a hat. A hooded sweatshirt will not be warm enough for late October nights outdoors in Lake George. Chapstick will also help keep students comfortable. The evenings outside will be cold.
Follow us at NC! Follow #blakeatnc and @kmcsoup for photos and updates throughout the week. Daily email updates will be sent each day as well. We are looking forward to the trip! Contact Judy Silva, jsilva@email.medfield.net, with any questions. See you bright and early on Tuesday, October 22!
