Pocasset Elementary School

School starts Thursday, August 31st 📚

Our teachers are getting ready for their students! All teachers Grades K - 5, special educators and reading specialists are participating in Volume 2 LETRS training. This comprehensive professional learning will provide our educators with deep knowledge to be literacy and language experts in the science of reading. Our very own LETRS specialists - Ginny Curtis, Beth Kilborn, Susan Cardoza and Jill Godbout - are conducting the training over the next two days!

Our TPS teacher assistants and Pre K teams are busy over the next two days participating in Safety Care. Safety Care provides our staff with trauma-informed care-compatible strategies for preventing and managing behavioral challenges by using evidence-based and practical techniques from Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports (PBIS)! Shout out to our own TPS trainers Melynda Antunes and Amanda Rose!

Last night Pocasset hosted their annual Welcome Back to School Family PlayDate. We also handed out backpacks, lunch boxes and school supplies to all who attended. Many thanks to our community partners the Tiverton Police Department, Tiverton Prevention Coalition, and Bally’s of Tiverton for donating supplies for over 100 Pocasset Families !
