Good evening!

It's hard to believe we are coming up on our last four day of classes.  Another year has flown by.  Congratulations to DJ, Martha, and Michele.  Cynthia put on a fantastic party Friday and I look forward to a few more goodbye celebrations over the next two weeks with you.  You will all truly be missed and are leaving a huge hole in the AHS faculty!

Locker clean-out will be Thursday, June 14 at the end of 2nd period.  All students should be dismissed 5 minutes before break begins to clean out their locker. We would appreciate teacher support in encouraging students to check all lockers.  Alex will have barrels in the hallways on Wednesday and Thursday to help encourage the process.

Our end of the year faculty meeting on June 21 will be held at 7:40am in the library.
Dismissal time is 11:20am and you are free to go then as long as all grades are entered and verified.  Please check and double check as we don't like looking for you to say to you have missing grades on June 22nd! 

End of the year procedures:
The check-out form will be to you by the end of the week.
All grade verification reports must be run, printed, and turned in your end of year procedure form before leaving for the day on June 21.
All external building keys MUST be turned in before leaving.  We no long have a need for external keys and had thought they were all collected when we went to fobs.  If you still have an external key it must be turned in.  Internal keys can be held in the office if you wish to leave them here.
I will have a rough cleaning/building availability schedule for you at the faculty meeting.

July schedule:
I will be out of the building starting June 25. I will be either on vacation or at a conference throughout the month of July.  As always, you can reach me by email.

The counselors and Deans will be in the building through June 28.  They will be working hard to get schedules ready for August so everyone can have some down time until then.

I will send some updates next week as well but if you are a club/activity advisor please mark your calendars for New Student Orientation on August 22nd at 4pm and the Student Leadership Summit on August 23rd, time TBD but typically from 9am-12pm. All students involved in or interested in leadership are encouraged to attend.

Have a great week and thank you for all you do each and every day for the students at AHS!

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. Please send your second block seniors to the auditorium, as we are not able to make announcements on 5/14.  Art Saves Ashland, which includes the student art show, as well as the Spring Choral Concert, are happening back to back on Thursday, May 15, starting at 4pm.  The concert is at 7pm in the auditorium. These events showcase the amazing talent of many of our students.  Here is the Early Release schedule for Friday, May 16. You can also find it linked on the school calendar. Departments will continue work on curriculum mapping for the afternoon.  Grand March will begin at 4:30pm in the gym if you are planning to stick around to see our p...

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...
