If you have specific questions about your child's performance or this report, please contact the school. We welcome early adolescents to our school where effective teaching and learning prepare all of our students to achieve at high levels and where the entire community works together to focus on meeting the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical needs of early adolescent children. A Day in the Life Students arrive at the McCormack from Dorchester, Hyde Park, Mattapan and South Boston. For most students the first academic subject is with their homeroom teacher. The daily schedule includes 57 minutes each for math, science, English language arts, and social studies.
Some students have a combined language arts and history class called humanities.
There are no bells and no times when all students change classes together. Classes are grouped into clusters which share a team of teachers and a section of the building. A visitor might see students exploring science fair topics on the internet or building a pyramid in wood shop. Sovereign Bank volunteers might be doing projects in a classroom or tutoring. Students create their own computer slide presentations and practice for a holiday assembly with the band or chorus.
