🎤✨ Hands-On Learning in DD4! 🎬🎶
At Dorchester School District 4, we know that real-world experiences are key to preparing our students for the future! 💼🚀
Last Friday, Luca Sarb, a student at Woodland Middle School- DD4 had the exciting opportunity to job shadow Mr. Seth Phillips, music teacher at Williams Memorial Elementary School, where he assisted in preparing for the Black History Month Assembly that morning. 🎥🔊 Together, they ensured the audio-visual setup was on point, making sure every presentation, video, and sound cue was perfectly timed for the event.
Experiences like these allow students to build valuable technical skills, gain confidence, and explore career paths they’re passionate about. 💡👏 A huge shoutout to Mr. Phillips for mentoring Luca and to all the DD4 staff who support student growth through hands-on learning!

🎉✨ Black History Month Celebrations Across Dorchester 4! ✨🎉
On Friday, elementary schools across Dorchester District 4 honored Black History Month with special assemblies at their respective schools! 🖤💛💚❤️
Students took center stage, sharing research projects, singing inspiring songs, showcasing creative dances, and more—all in tribute to the incredible contributions of Black leaders past and present. 🎶📚💃🏾
Each school’s celebration was unique, but the message was the same: Black history is a vital part of our past, present, and future! 🙌🏾👏🏾

Dorchester School District 4 would like to take a moment to thank the incredible staff in our Department of Student Services. These dedicated individuals work tirelessly every day to ensure that every student in DD4 receives the support they need. Their efforts often go unrecognized, but the impact they make is invaluable.
Dr. Britt-Stevens, Mrs. Haynes, Mrs. Bryant, and Mrs. Baptista are true pillars of our community, demonstrating an exceptional understanding of the students and families they serve. Thank you for all that you do, especially the work that goes unseen. Your dedication does not go unnoticed!
Last Thursday, our WMES Tigers enjoyed a truly special experience! Mrs. Chaquilla Green, our Coordinator of Parent and Family Engagement, and Mrs. Tricia Delice, our Coordinator of Elementary Curriculum and Instruction, visited classrooms to share their favorite books celebrating Black History Month. The students’ curiosity and thoughtful questions made the day even more memorable. Moments like these highlight the power of storytelling in connecting us to our rich heritage and inspiring our future.
