Good evening-
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. It was certainly a fun-filled weekend of AHS activities. Great to see so many of you at the football game, the play and the Robot Rodeo. All of those kids have so much to be proud of.
As you think about the amazing things our AHS students have accomplished this year please take a moment to answer this brief survey question. The Portrait of a Graduate survey committee thanks you!

As we close out the week please reach out directly, by phone is best, to guardians of students who are struggling. Report cards should not be the first time they see grades and we can not count on all families using iParent. Thank you.
eHallpass.....
I am still waiting to have everyone uploaded into system. As we get ready to have all staff members using eHallpass please review your pass expectations with students. I encourage you to set clear guidelines regarding leaving the classroom. You have the authority to limit when students leave. Please exercise discretion and help students learn to use breaks for a break.
If you have not completed this yet, please take time to review the attached PowerPoint and complete the activities included: Equity in Learning- please complete the learning activities embedded in the presentation by Friday, November 8 (it was originally supposed to be completed by September 30). Print the certificate and turn it in to the front office. Thank you!
November 8 Professional Development:
All faculty members will participate in ongoing work with your identified working groups.
In addition, we will be offering PD on college recommendation letter writing and training on working with students diagnosed with Tourette's (some staff members are required to attend this training). Stay tuned for information from Cory McGann and Deena Levallee on those workshops. All others should plan to meet in the same spaces as last time. I will send guiding questions, topics, and other relevant information out to groups later in the week.
Save the Date! The annual holiday celebration will be on Friday, December 6 at 3:30pm at Owen O'Leary's in Southborough (Rt. 9).
A message from Decisions at Every Turn:
On Friday you received a small card in your mailbox from the STAND campaign. This card consists of the current STAND message and image on one side, and some questions to encourage discussion about the message on the other. These are intended to foster conversations between students, but we encourage you to use them with students if an opportunity for conversation comes up.

In addition, the STAND campaign has prepared a short form that we are hoping you will use to provide any feedback that you may hear about the STAND campaign, including any anonymized student interactions with or about the cards or posters. Responses from the form will go through Google to Saumya Sankhavaram, DAET Coordinator. Responses to the form are optional - the form is anonymous, and will not be publicized or distributed in any way. Any feedback that you can offer would be much appreciated, and please feel free to use the form to suggest or request additional resources
