Dear Berkley Families,
Berkley Public School Department is committed to providing high-quality educational experiences for the children in Berkley. While school is closed, it is important that students continue their learning. We want to offer the following resources as learning opportunities for your children while they are at home.
All K-8 students are encouraged to access the following packets for Math and Reading Practice:

PRESCHOOL: |
GRADE 4: |
|
KINDERGARTEN: |
GRADE 5: |
|
GRADE 1: |
GRADE 6: |
|
GRADE 2: |
GRADE 7: |
|
GRADE 3: |
GRADE 8: |

ART: |
PHYS. ED.

If you are unable to print the packet, you may pick up a hard copy packet from 11:00 a.m. -12:00 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Berkley Community School. Please email your building principal if you wish to pick one up and we will prepare it for you.
Additionally, a team of our teachers have created the following Interactive Technology Learning Menus. There is one available for PK, one for K-4 and one for 5-8. Our recommendation is for students to complete one lesson per day from the Reading and Math packets and two activities per day from the online menus. Please note that these activities will not be graded, but are intended to reinforce student skills during this extended school closure.

Links to websites frequently used by Berkley students may still be accessed. For BCS students these are located on Ms. DiMascio’s Website or your regular login for sites like Lexia. For BMS students, please access your teacher’s Google Classroom or website.
For any students who benefit from extra support, the following websites may be helpful:
STORYLINE ONLINE (This site reads picture books aloud.)
MATH IS VISUAL (Uses visual representations of math manipulatives to teach concepts.)
SOCIAL STORY TO ASSIST EXPLAINING CORONAVIRUS TO CHILDREN
If your child is in need of emotional support during this time, please reach out to Mrs. Francisco (jfrancisco@berkleypublicschools.org), Mrs. Hebert (khebert@berkleypublicschools.org) or Mrs. Abrego (mabrego@berkleypublicschools.org) who will connect you with support services during this school closure.
All of our Berkley families are in our thoughts. We hope that these resources are useful to you.
Sincerely,
Thomas J. Lynch, Superintendent of Schools

Lead was found in the Berkley Town Hall water when it was tested on September 5, 2019 due to the water not being used/flushed before it was tested. On September 23, 2019 the water test at the Berkley Town Hall did not show any lead in the water.
