Important Notice About Walking To Donaghue School

Many students are walking to the Donaghue in the morning, which is good to see. Students coming from North of West Main Street should know that we post a crossing guard at the intersection of Locust Street and West Main Street in the morning, NOT at the intersection of West Main Street and Union Street. This means that students walking or riding bikes to Donaghue in the morning need to cross West Main Street at Locust Street only.In the afternoon, we post a crossing guard at the intersection of Union Street and West Main Street to assist children crossing West Main Street.

Study Island Mathematics Still Available

Parents, a reminder that our school has access to a great resource for preparing our students to master the Massachusetts Mathematics Curriculum Standards. For students in grades 4 through 6, we have a subscription for a web-based program called Study Island, which is accessible to students from school or home, provided your home has Internet access. Teachers have shown their students how to access the site in school. We encourage students to also spend some time at home with their parents going to the site and completing some of the lessons and examples.

To access Study Island from home, go to www.studyisland.com. Your child will be prompted to login with his or her username and password in the upper left of the screen, which they used in school. There are different kinds of sessions from which to choose, with Test being the default.

We hope that you and your child find Study Island a useful tool for learning and reviewing important mathematics concepts and skills at home. A little time spent on this at home can be beneficial.
