Dear Families,
Thank you for your patience as we completed our plans for Term 4 and launched our plans for the summer. There are a lot of logistics in place, and we were moving quickly to fill seats and communicate changes. If we made an error that impacted your family or miscommunicated something along the way, I am sorry. I provided the Term 4 shifts again at the end of this message, and Ms. Rottman is in the process of sending grade level emails to families returning to the building. Please continue to reach out if you have any questions, and thanks again.
Happy Spring Break! Just a reminder that DCPS is not in session next week for students. Monday is a professional development and records keeping day. Tuesday through Thursday are Spring Break, and Friday is Emancipation Day.
I am excited to share that Ms. Romero will be out for maternity leave in early May. This week, she helped us interview and hire Ms. Brenda Brown who will serve as a temporary teacher in her absence. Ms. Brown has been teaching for 14 years, and her last role was as a third through fifth grade Math teacher. She has held a variety of leadership positions and taught an excellent model lesson for us via Teams. We are excited to have her join the team.
Some important announcements follow. I will see many of you in person in the upcoming week. We will have over 200 students report in person at Shepherd in Term 4!

Second Grade Historians
Ms. McIntyre’s second graders wrapped up their activism unit and women’s history month with some work around women’s suffrage. They continue to use the just 6 words strategy learned during Living Through History Cornerstone unit.
Students watched a video on women’s suffrage and responded with these six words:
- women couldn’t vote it was unfair
- women were brave to stand up
- thank you ladies you did it
- women couldn’t vote so they fought
The class received a shout out from Scott Abbott, Director of Social Studies for DCPS:
Shout out to Evelyn McIntyre (Shepherd ES) for leveraging the “Just 6 words” strategy from the Living Through History Cornerstone to engage her 2nd grade students in a virtual lesson about women’s suffrage for Women’s History month.

Queridas familias,
Gracias por su paciencia mientras completamos nuestros planes para el cuarto trimestre y lanzamos nuestros planes para el verano. Hay mucha logística en su lugar y nos movíamos rápidamente para llenar los asientos y comunicar los cambios. Si cometimos un error que afectó a su familia o comunicamos mal algo en el camino, lo siento. Proporcioné los turnos del Término 4 nuevamente al final de este mensaje, y la Sra. Rottman está en el proceso de enviar correos electrónicos de nivel de grado a las familias que regresan al edificio. Continúe comunicándose si tiene alguna pregunta y gracias nuevamente.
¡Felices vacaciones de primavera! Solo un recordatorio de que DCPS no está en sesión la próxima semana para los estudiantes. El lunes es un día de desarrollo profesional y mantenimiento de registros. De martes a jueves son las vacaciones de primavera y el viernes es el día de la emancipación.
Me emociona compartir que la Sra. Romero estará fuera de licencia por maternidad a principios de mayo. Esta semana, nos ayudó a entrevistar y contratar a la Sra. Brenda Brown, quien se desempeñará como maestra temporal en su ausencia. La Sra. Brown ha estado enseñando durante 14 años y su último papel fue como maestra de matemáticas de tercer a quinto grado. Ha ocupado diversos puestos de liderazgo y nos ha enseñado una excelente lección modelo a través de Teams. Estamos emocionados de que se una al equipo.
Siguen algunos anuncios importantes. Los veré a muchos de ustedes en persona durante la próxima semana. ¡Tendremos más de 200 estudiantes que se reportan en persona en Shepherd en el cuarto trimestre!

1. las mujeres no podían votar era injusto
2. las mujeres fueron valientes para ponerse de pie
3. gracias, señoras, lo hicieron
4. las mujeres no podían votar, así que lucharon
La clase recibió un saludo de Scott Abbott, Director de Estudios Sociales de DCPS:
Felicite a Evelyn McIntyre (Shepherd ES) por aprovechar la estrategia “Solo 6 palabras” de Living Through History Cornerstone para involucrar a sus estudiantes de segundo grado en una lección virtual sobre el sufragio femenino para el mes de la historia de la mujer.
