Dear Assumption Family,
Welcome back to another great year at Assumption Catholic School! There are many exciting initiatives and additions to our school that I look forward to sharing with you.
Personalized Learning Initiative
We are one of the six schools to pilot the personalized learning initiative in the Diocese of Bridgeport. This is a shift in our instructional model and practice. Gone are the days of the one size fits some teaching. Teachers in all grades and classes will employ small group instruction, station rotation activities, and individualized adaptive technology programs to close learning gaps and advance through the curriculum.
Our teachers have worked hard to prepare for this initiative and we know you will see the advantages of this approach. More details will be shared and demonstrated at our Back to School night on September 19.
Maker's Space
The school computer lab has been converted into a Maker's Space. This is a place of innovation and discovery. Students in grades K-8 will use this space every week to learn, explore, and create. The space has been outfitted with Lego Mindstorm robotics kits, Sphero robots, computer programming materials, a 3D printer, green screen system, and much more. Your children will be encouraged to be creative, solve problems, and innovate.
Expansion of Foreign Language Program
All students in grades K-3 will be exposed to foreign language through the Rosetta Stone program. To help build experience in Spanish all students will have opportunities to work through the Rosetta Stone for schools program at their own pace. Students in grade 4-8 will continue to have the traditional instruction in Spanish, supplemented with the Rosetta Stone program.
Middle school students that show a proficiency in Spanish may choose to work in any of the 29 languages offered by Rosetta Stone. This is another example of how Assumption is personalizing the educational experience for your children.
New Staff
We welcome two new teachers to the Assumption Family, Miss. Heather Leone is our new first grade teacher and Mrs. Debra Shea is our new math teacher and coordinator of the Maker's Space. Mandy Levy is our new school nurse.
This is going to be a great year!
Many Blessings,
Steven J. Santoli
Principal
