About us
Dear Mystic River Magnet School Families,
I am excited about the upcoming school year and cannot wait to get started as we welcome our Grade 1-5 students back beginning on Thursday, August 29, 2024.
Ms. Rotner, our Magnet Coordinator, will continue to work with MRMS weekly to help support our Enrichment Fridays and magnet theme play-block. We will continue to partner with Life is Good and are looking to implement Purposeful Play in our kindergarten classrooms this year. In addition, we are moving forward with developing an outdoor classroom/learning space in our courtyard. Please visit our website regularly for additional information about our theme and updates from the school.
Academically, in addition to the curriculum and lessons that your child's teacher will be creating, our Literacy and Math team will be supporting students during those core blocks. The district will implement a new ELA curriculum, Wit & Wisdom, this year. To help develop and meet our student's social, emotional, and behavioral needs, MRMS has a School Psychologist, School Social Worker, Two Behavior Tutors, MFLC support, and a School-Based Health Center Counselor. We will continue to implement the Second Step program buildingwide this year to offer additional support across our school.
Newsletters will be sent out which will highlight any updates and provide information to our families. I will send those through Parent Square. MRMS will strive to build a strong home-school connection where we work together as a team. Please do not hesitate to contact me, Mr. DiPadua, or Mrs. Sabo with any questions you may have.
Thank you in advance for your commitment, support, and dedication in making this upcoming year of Mystic River Magnet School a great one.
In Partnership,
Steve Wheeler, Principal, MRMS
