Good afternoon-

I hope you all had a well deserved break.  I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow as we start the rush to the end of the school year.  It always flies from this point forward.

As a reminder, grades will remain open until Tuesday, April 24 at 3pm.  Please be sure to run a verification report and check your grades for accuracy.  Report cards will be issued through iStudent/iParent on Thursday, April 26.  I know you have all done a great job keeping guidance informed of seniors who may be in danger of not graduating. Please include me in any correspondence about this once grades are final. 

The sophomore class will once again participate in the Signs of Suicide program beginning Monday, April 30.  The program will be implemented through the Wellness program but there is potential for students to be called out of class later in the day based on the rating scales they complete during the program.  This is an important opportunity for us to educate students about recognizing signs of depression in themselves and others and get support if needed.

Our next Early Release day is May 11.  You will have the opportunity to do cross-curricular or inter-departmental project work that afternoon.  If you have an interest or passion you have been hoping to explore and want to bring other colleagues into the discussion, please let me know.  

NEASC Collaborative Conference!  I will send information on our upcoming visit soon....we are looking at adjusting the dates because of the conflict with the Math MCAS.  Stay tuned.....  

Senior exams are scheduled for the week of May 21.  A schedule will be available shortly. On Friday, May 25 the seniors will participate in our annual Community Service Day.  The day will start with a presentation on the impact of service from the Fallen Heroes Project.  

Senior Week begins Tuesday, May 29.  If you teach mostly seniors please take a look at your schedule and let Ms. Lachapelle your availability to help out at Community Service Day as well as provide coverage for Senior Week chaperones.  Or let us know if you want to chaperone.  

Have a wonderful week!

Good afternoon- Thanks to everyone who helped to make New Student Orientation a success last night. It was great to see so many students and staff in the building. I am looking forward to seeing you all on Monday. We start at 8AM in the auditorium. There will be some members of the Class of 2026 painting their parking spots on Monday afternoon. Please try to park in the faculty parking lot or in the back of the building if you usually park in the student section.  New staff, please join the staff  Google Classroom . All information sent to faculty/staff will be housed here. The  class code is a5ca6a4. The custodians have been working hard to make sure each classroom has the correct number of desks (minus study halls). There may be a few classrooms off a desk or two based on student moves at the end of this week. If anyone has furniture in their rooms that is not being used, please let me know. We are short some L-shaped desks, under-desk file cabinets, and bookcases....

Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms & mother figures out there- Best of luck to the special athletes competing in the 5-Town Special Olympics today!  I apologize for the late notice, but we will do a class meeting with the juniors/prom attendees on Tuesday, May 13, and the seniors on Wednesday, May 14, during x-block.

Good morning- I hope the adjustment to the clocks springing forward hasn't thrown you off too much. I love that it means more light in the afternoon/evening.  On Thursday, March 13 year 2/3 teachers from Milford and Nipmuc High Schools will be here for learning walks. I have shared a schedule with impacted teachers but it may change over the next few days. Thank you for your flexibility and willingness to welcome new educators.  I am sure you saw Jim's message that the School Committee will hear our proposal on Competency Determination for the Class of 2025 at their meeting on Wednesday, March 12. I hope to share an update at our faculty meeting on Thursday, March 13, after school in the library . The meeting will involve MCAS training. As you are aware, the state has moved to a new portal so it will be important information for everyone to hear. Training for staff that do not attend faculty meetings will be scheduled at another time. Following the training, we will be walking...
