Good evening-

I am sure you are all looking forward to a short week! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with lots of family and time to relax.

Wear Purple Day for Pancreatic Cancer Awareness
Please show your support for Warren nutrition staff member Natalie Dunnirvine, who recently lost her husband to the disease by wearing purple on Tuesday!

If you are a club advisor or teacher who uses the auditorium, please read:
The custodians are dealing with a lot of trash clean-up recently. Please enforce the rule that no food or drink is allowed in the auditorium. Have your officers check the space after the each meeting to make sure it is left clean. The custodial staff would appreciate this support.

Please do not throw out any very large objects, such as furniture, on your own. SchoolDude the need and the custodial staff will make sure it gets to the right location. Large items such as furniture should not go in our dumpsters.

Challenge Day!
We will once again be holding Challenge Day at AHS. It will be on January 29, day one of the second semester. It will be a great way to kick off the second half of the year. If you are interested in participating this year please add your name to this form.

Department liaison/Lead Learner meeting:
We will meet Tuesday, November 26 in the main office conference room. The topic will be budget and program of studies updates! All are welcome to join.
Our next Faculty meeting is Thursday, December 12 at 2:50pm. We will meet as a whole group and have presentations on X-block and the Vision of a Graduate

School safety protocols:
Please take some time over the next week or so to review safety protocols for yourself and with students. Remember that a key component of our expectation is that you listen for information before making decisions on what is the best course of action for your class. Remind students that they should follow your lead and directions at all times and stay together as a class.

Hello everyone,
Mind letting folks (in your schools) know that if they want any Ashland gear in hand for the holidays their deadline is 12/6.  If items are wanted by 12/20, it’s best to order by 12/1.  Once again, here’s the link:

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.

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...
