November Edition - Week of 11/6/22
MSCR After School Clubs and Sports Info

Hello MSCR families! My name is DeVonte Robinson, I am the site director and tutor coordinator here at Sennett. We will push out information periodically throughout the year, however we also post updates in the Sennett Newsletter. I am available most of the time via phone 608-204-1948 or email dkrobinson@madison.k12.wi.us 

I want to inform MSCR Families that currently MSCR does not offer transportation for after school programming. We are working to get this changed as soon as possible. At this time we ask for parents to pick up scholars at the end of program. The city bus is also an option we strongly recommend. MSCR does provide 2-ride bus passes. Thank you for your patience and understanding. 

MSCR Afterschool programming is from 2:45pm-5:00pm Monday-Thursday. MSCR does not require any forms of payment.

Quarter 2 Syllabi

Hi families - 

We are excited to be sharing with you our Quarter 2 Syllabi (course plans) for each class. 

This is the place where you can find all the big information you might need about your children's classes - expectations, grading systems, standards they are working on, skills they will be practicing, and a general timeline for it all. Hopefully, this will help give you the information you may need to ask pointed questions to your adolescents who may respond to the question, "What did you learn today?" with the answer, "I don't know" or "Nothing."

Teachers have collaborated to break down the learning into chunks that are accessible to your kiddos and outlined the learning plan in a way that families can access. Your students should be able to share their progress toward meeting the standards addressed during the quarter; they work on them every day.

 Here's hoping this will help us to continue to build strong connections between home and school and help you feel informed about your children's learning!
