On June 19, we honor Juneteenth, a day of reflection, celebration, and education. Recognized as a federal holiday, Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and reminds us of the importance of freedom, unity, and progress for all. Dorchester School District Four encourages our community to take this time to learn, listen, and celebrate the rich history and resilience that Juneteenth represents. Wishing everyone a meaningful and reflective Juneteenth! #DD4Family #Juneteenth #CelebrateFreedom

Today, our elementary leadership team took an important step toward strengthening math instruction in DD4! 📚➕ Led by Mrs. Tricia Delice, our Elementary Principals, Assistant Principals, and Instructional Coaches participated in a full day of professional development on Eureka Math² by Great Minds—our newly adopted K–5 math curriculum for the 2025–2026 school year. The team was guided through the curriculum’s structure, lesson components, assessments, and key strategies for successful implementation. Valuable resources were shared to help support teachers and ensure this program is delivered with fidelity across our elementary schools. We’re excited for what’s ahead and committed to empowering every learner through high-quality math instruction! #DD4Proud #EurekaMath2 #GreatMinds #MathLeadership #ElementaryExcellence #DD4Strong
