Dear Mott Hall Families,
There is a Chinese proverb which states, “There are many paths to the top of the mountain, but the view is always the same.” There are many different paths as well for our scholars to achieve success. The teachers, the staff, the administration, Saturday Math and ELA clinics, as well as the curriculum and the opportunity for extra help, all help students achieve success.
We are now in our Third Marking Period and encourage our students to hand in assignments on time, study, plan projects with ample time and to seek assistance from teachers. We want all our scholars to excel and succeed!
Report Cards were mailed home by Monday, February 4, 2019. If you did not receive your report cards, please contact the school to request a copy.
We are excited to share that our Parent Workshop on Stress, that took place on Wednesday, February 6th was a huge success. It was informative and helped participants create stress awareness and coping strategies. We look forward to offering future parent workshops. Don’t miss this great learning opportunity!
Please be aware that due to impending weather conditions, Math Night will be postponed. It will not take place on Tuesday, February 12th as scheduled. We will be confirming a new date.

FutureConnect is a program to connect middle schoolers and professionals. The objective of the program is to give students an exposure to career options, to get students to explore how their interests and strengths are aligned with different professions.
FutureConnect was started in March 2018. Since then, many students have attended interesting sessions on Biomedical Engineering, Pharmacy and patient care, Operations Management, Economics through board games, Debate, User Experience Design, Introduction to Surgery, and a visit to the Metropolitan Hospital.

The goal of the Mott Hall School’s curriculum is the development of skilled students who are self-directed critical thinkers.
Mott Hall students are considered young scholars. They learn subject matter through a constructivist and project-based approach using powerful learning techniques such as Socratic dialogues, literature circles, writing for student publications, digital film making and web site creation.
The curriculum is further enriched by its alignment to the Common Core NationalStandards. Students are offered accelerated special courses and seminars as well as special enrichment electives such as chess, robotics and stock market studies which engage them in real world investigations tied directly to student needs and interests.
Mott Hall has a technology rich environment. In an effort to confront the digital divide, we use the PupilPath online system to give parents and students instant access to grades, attendance, and progress reports.
