Good afternoon-

I hope you had a wonderful April vacation!  It's hard to believe we are now in the big rush to the end of the school year.  Seniors only have 20 days of school left. Just a reminder that evidence is due this Friday, April 26.  

The Senior Exam Schedule is attached.  Please note some adjustments to the schedule from previous years.  The Senior Week Schedule will be out this week.  

Please welcome Susan Furste back to the World Language department.  Velma Flores decided to move on so Sue has agreed to fill in for the remainder of the school year!

The sophomore class will participate in the Signs of Suicide program beginning Monday, April 29.  The program will be implemented through the Wellness classes 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. 
If you are interested in seeing the video and resources our students will view please check out the SOS Parent Portal.

Please see this important message about the NHS Out of the Darkness Walk happening this Saturday.  Come join the Ashland community in fighting the stigma of mental health and suicide awareness.
NHS Out of the Darkness Walk

Have a great week!  As a reminder I am traveling back from Europe on Monday and we will be back in school on Tuesday. It has been a great, eye-opening experience for our students!

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....

Good afternoon- I hope you have been able to dig out from the storm. Tomorrow is sure to be a little chaotic, and I fully predict we will have students who don't understand the exam schedule changes and families who may keep their students home. We will need to be flexible! Stay warm! Here is the schedule for tomorrow:  G block exam: 10:30 am- 12 pm Lunch: 1st (12:05-12:35) - English, math, & science             2nd (12:40-1:10) - history, world language, unified arts, special education, ELL & wellness Students will need to be asked to remain in their class for first lunch and return to the class they were testing in for second lunch. We will do our best with this but are not going to stress about kids being elsewhere. We have no way of knowing how many G block students are staying for A block.  A block exam: 1:15 pm- 2:45 pm Along with the updated midyear exam schedule .  Grades for Term 2 will close on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, a...
