Principal's Message
Dear Macomber Students and Families,
On behalf of the entire staff, it is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to you and your family. At the Alice A. Macomber School, we believe in fostering a love for learning right from the very beginning.
As your child takes their first steps into school, we want them to know that Macomber is more than just a place for academics; it's a second home. The physical and mental safety, growth, and happiness of our students is a top priority. We are proud to offer a safe and inclusive environment where your child can explore, discover, and interact with their peers to respect each other’s differences and make new connections and friendships.
At Macomber, we offer a well-rounded education that not only focuses on academic growth but also nurtures creativity, critical thinking, and character development. Early childhood education is significant in creating and shaping a child’s social interactions and learning potential. As we begin this new chapter together, we are committed to providing the best possible educational experiences to guide your child’s learning and development. Students will participate in an array of activities to ignite their imagination and fuel their motivation. Early literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving will be achieved through hands-on activities, interactive learning, and discussions for your child to express curiosity, understanding, and enthusiasm. Our dedicated staff work together to fill each day with encouragement and inspiration that support the building blocks for a solid foundation.
At Macomber, we work along with families to instill essential values like kindness, empathy, and respect in our students. Together, we'll guide each child to become confident, hard-working, and compassionate individuals who make a positive difference in the world.
We understand that your child’s first years at school are important milestones for both you and your child, and we are here to make this transition as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We encourage open communication and welcome your involvement to guide and support your child's progress. We look forward to building a strong partnership with you and seeing those eager little faces ready to learn each day!
Once again, welcome to our school! Together, let's make this school year a joyful and memorable one for your child.
Sincerely,
Stacey Duquette

Kindergartners in Mrs. Correia’s Integrated Arts class celebrated International Dot Day this week. Dot Day is a global celebration of creativity, courage, and collaboration that takes place around September 15 every year.
The day was inspired by Peter H. Reynolds' book The Dot, which tells the story of a teacher who encourages a student to trust in her own abilities. Students have also explored the concept of having a growth mindset within this unit of study.
