From the Principal
Dear Cutler Families,
Please read the contents of this News to Use as there are many details about upcoming events taking place at Cutler, including Book Fair and our January author visit. It is truly wonderful to see that these special events are “back” this year, as we’ve gone a few years without. From All School Meeting, to Field Trips, Discovery Museum in-house Field Trips, Science from Scientists and having visitors in classrooms, I’m grateful to the effort of both teachers and parents in reestablishing important educational programming.
Wishing you all a wonderful week!
Juliana

“For kids, digital life is real life. It's where they build friendships, take a stand on issues, and do so much more.” (Common Sense Media)
Over the next several weeks, your student will participate in a Digital Citizenship Curriculum from Common Sense Media during Library/Tech class. Through this unit, we hope to empower our students to participate safely and responsibly in the digital world. This curriculum will focus on the Hamilton-Wenham Regional School District Digital Citizen Goals:
- “Recognizes the rights, responsibilities, and opportunities of living, learning and working in an interconnected digital world and they act in ways that are safe, legal, ethical and self-aware.”
- “Uses digital tools to broaden their perspectives, increase empathy and understanding, and work effectively in teams.”
