Dear Families, This school year the South Shore Charter Public School will continue to use SchoolPass to facilitate dismissal. SchoolPass is a communication tool that allows families to sign a child in late, dismiss a child early, and change dismissal plans using a simple phone app. The app also facilitates an efficient dismissal process directly from classrooms. This year families will not be required to complete daily wellness checks using the app. SchoolPass sent activation emails to our families last week. The email included account information and instructions for activating your account. Please take a minute to set up your account as soon as possible. Please ignore the “pickup location” field. All K-8 students will be picked up at 100 Longwater Circle and all high school students will be picked up at the high school. Once the account has been created, you can download the SchoolPass app on your phone. The registered parent will be able to add other adults that are authorized to pick up. You are able to change dismissal plans directly through the app or the website. More information about the SchoolPass app can be found here. A video explaining the process is available here. Use the password +9GHLACR to access this short training. We will be using the SchoolPass app to run dismissal at both buildings beginning tomorrow. You will click “Pick Up” once you are on campus to notify your child’s teacher that you have arrived. Please wait to click the "Pick Up" button until directed to do so by a staff member. This will help us stagger the timing of students coming out to their cars. This system is new to many of our families and we understand that not everyone will be able to use it immediately. We appreciate that there is a learning curve with any new system and will work with families to make it work. Thank you for your patience as we work to get SchoolPass up and running! Sincerely, Angie -- Angie Pepin Principal, K-12 South Shore Charter Public School 781-982-4202 x102 Dear SSCPS Families,
In just a few short days the 2021-2022 school year will begin. Here on campus the excitement is building. Teachers have been preparing their classrooms to welcome our students when they arrive for those special first days of school. Throughout the summer our facilities team has done extensive work, not only painting walls and waxing floors, but also updating air filtration systems and revisiting sanitization protocols to keep our buildings as safe as possible. After a summer of preparation we look forward to kindergarten and freshman orientation on Monday and the first day of school for all students on Tuesday. The first priority of the South Shore Charter Public School is a safe and healthy learning environment for all students, teachers, and staff. Although the circumstances created by this phase of COVID-19 are not what we would have hoped for, it is important to remain optimistic and to share that outlook with our children. The good news is that this year we have additional information about controlling the spread of the disease and have been given specific protocols to put into place to minimize virus transmission. Working together we can more safely open our school, sustain academic excellence, and maintain an environment where social and emotional learning flourishes. The Massachusetts Department of Education (DESE) has provided three important provisions for the opening of the 2021-2022 school year.
We will keep you updated when changes are made to DESE recommendations, mandates, and guidance. As the beginning of the school year approaches, we remain committed to the well being of all students and look forward to working together with families in the days to come. Thank you for being a part of our school community. Sincerely, Alicia E. Savage Executive Director South Shore Charter Public School 781.982.4202 Ext. 101 www.sscps.org Dear SSCPS Community,
I am writing to inform you of the results of the Massachusetts Board of Elementary and Secondary Education meeting earlier today. During today's meeting Commissioner Riley requested that the Board of Education grant him the authority to issue a mandate for universal indoor mask wearing for all public school students K-12 and school staff through at least October 1, 2021. The Massachusetts Board of Education voted in favor of the request and granted Commissioner Riley full authority to issue the mandate. Consequently, there will be a universal indoor mask mandate in all public school districts, regional and vocational schools, and charter schools until October 1 at least. The universal indoor mask mandate is for all public school students K-12 as well as teachers, administrators, school staff, and visitors in the buildings. The memorandum issued on Friday regarding this decision is attached for your information. Because it is no longer possible for the Board of Trustees to vote on this safety protocol, the Special Board of Trustees Meeting scheduled for tomorrow evening, Wednesday, August 25 has been cancelled. We will be sure to keep our school community updated as the situation progresses. Thank you for your support. Sincerely, Alicia E. Savage Executive Director South Shore Charter Public School 781.982.4202 Ext. 101 www.sscps.org Summer Updates from SSCPS

FERPA Notice PPRA Notice Please register on FamilyID.com Please visit www.ProjectBread.org to find a location distributing meals during the break and for important information Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year! For those of you new to SSCPS, my name is Charlene Salamone and I am the Food Services Coordinator. My role at SSCPS is to ensure that our school offers our students nutritious and healthy meals during school days. Since SSCPS does not have cafeteria’s, we offer our students a “Grab and Go” hot or cold meal which complies with the nutritional guidelines set by the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program.
For your convenience, this year we will continue with our online meal ordering system called FamilyID. You are able to order your child’s meals online. All families must register each child in FamilyID. Please visit the SSCPS Familyid Programs webpage to register your child. To learn more on how to register your child click here to watch a quick video. If you need any assistance with FamilyID registration, please call (781)205-2800 or email [email protected]. All meal orders will be made directly through this online system. For the start of this school year, we are asking all families to provide their child with a reusable water bottle. Since we have eliminated the drinking fountains in the school, it is necessary for children to be able to fill up their water bottles instead of using the drinking fountain. We will offer two lunch choices per day for in school learning, as the school year continues we hope to add in a salad as a third lunch choice. Your child may order a breakfast and one lunch choice per day per child. Please review the menus carefully and order them accurately. Orders are due on Tuesdays, no later than 3:00 pm the previous week. Meals can be ordered weekly or monthly. Even though meals are free to all students you may want to fill out a Free/Reduced Application because it may qualify your family to receive benefits from other state funded programs i.e Pandemic EBT cards. Here is the application and instructions to apply for the Free/ Reduced National School Lunch and Breakfast Program meal benefits. If you need assistance on completing this form, please reach out to me. All applications must be printed, completed, and signed and sent directly to my attention. Finally, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 781-982-4202 ext. 156 or email me at [email protected]. Sincerely, Charlene Salamone Read More Here: https://www.sscps.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=460771&type=d |
