Dear Mott Hall Families,
A very special thank you to all the families that attended our First Humanities Night on Thursday, May 16, 2019. We celebrated our Scholars’ achievements through exhibits, presentations and a wonderful French Café fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis. It truly was an amazing night! It inspired our community as we enter the last weeks of school.
Our Mott Hall Orchestra performed for the school on Thursday. The students gave an excellent, energetic show. We are so proud of our musicians!
On Saturday, May 18, we hosted our Incoming Student Orientation. Our halls were filled with excited families who are looking forward to joining our community in September. They learned about our mission, curriculum and practices.
Progress Reports were sent home with students last week. It is important for students to excel in academics as we come to the end of the school year. Be reminded that teachers are available to meet with you every Tuesday from 2:15 PM to 3:20 PM to discuss academic supports, when necessary.
This week we are looking forward to an evening Orchestra Concert on Thursday, May 23rd at Aaron Davis Hall. The flyer will be sent electronically, posted on the website and sent with students.
Please remember to visit our website for all up to date information on weekly school events.
School will be closed on Monday, May 27, 2019 in observance of Memorial Day.
Have a great week!
In your gratitude,
Principal De Los Santos-Peña

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.
