2nd Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Memorial Event!

Congratulations to all Cushing Elementary students (and to all Scituate Public Schools elementary students) who participated in the Martin Luther King Celebration Memorial event, held this Monday, January 16th at the Scituate High School Performing Arts Center!  By all accounts this was a spectacular event, organized by Mr. Jamele Adams, Director of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion for Scituate Public Schools!

Bundle Up For Colder Weather! A Message From Nurse Mardeusz

The children enjoyed a few days of winter fun in the snow this week at recess.  Please have your student bring snow pants, winter boots, hats and gloves to play and stay dry in the snow.   Also, it is very helpful in the lower grades to keep a change of clothing in the backpack in case of wet clothes or toileting accidents.  I am accepting any donations of boys and girls sweatpants or stretch pants and long sleeve tops in sizes 4, 6, 8 and 10 in the health office for clothing emergencies. Thank you!

Owls At Cushing!

Check out the spectacular Owl art project in our main lobby!  Under the guidance and direction of Mrs. Davis, our incredible Cushing art teacher, our third graders painted brilliant portraits of many different kinds of owls, based on the non-fiction book, Owls, by Gail Gibbons. Wonderful job Cushing third graders!

Smartwatches in School

If your student has a smartwatch, please be sure that you discuss the following to ensure that your child can fully engage in school activities:

  • use watches in school for telling time (not texting, calls, etc)
  • ensure that you respect privacy by not recording others

Your help is appreciated!
