As many parents already know, we have a few changes
here at Mater Dolorosa School. Change is scary but change is also good.
As many parents, know, Mrs. Clark (5th Grade) retired and will be spend some of
her new found time traveling with her husband. Mrs. Shannon will be moving
to 5th Grade and because of her strong math background, she and Mrs. Forest will
be a team. Sister Mary Fallon, a Sister of St. Joseph will be the teacher
in Grade 2-2. Mrs. Lacey will be joining Mrs. Finn in Kindergarten. Please
check back to this page in the upcoming month for news from the individual
classes. In the meantime, Mrs. Godbout in our Computer Lab has very good
news to report!
News from the Computer
Lab -
Our Computer Lab has received two grants from the Dioceses of Springfield.
With these grants, fundraising efforts and generous contributions, students will
be be beginning the 2008-2009 school in a state-of-the-art computer lab.
The lab is receiving an approximately $20,000 upgrade. It is now equipped
with 18 new computers with 19" LCD monitors as well as a new school-wide Network
server which will be installed in mid September. These improvements along
with previous computer upgrades and our computer-linked Smart Board presentation
whiteboard, offer students safe
access to the internet, and features educational and Microsoft productivity
software programs which provide the technology and classroom teacher with the
means to integrate the classroom educational curriculum into today’s technology.
Also this past June, two new reading programs were purchased for our
Kindergarten students. Mater Dolorosa School has made a commitment through
a Five Year Technology Development Plan to keep pace with technology and we plan
to aggressively seek alternative funding to accomplish this goal.
