 Good afternoon-

I hope you are all well. Our counseling department and administrative assistants started back this week. It was so nice to have people back in the building.

Counselors are cleaning up schedules and working to fully schedule all students.

It looks like the schedule/order of classes we have talked about the past few weeks is going to work for us. The following is the classes that will meet each term:

Term 1 & 3: C E F -- D

Term 2 & 4: G A B -- D

There is a possibility of the 90 minute classes meeting in a different order but these are the classes that will meet each term. D block will remain in the static block all year. 

I have added all staff to the AHS Reopening Task Force shared drive. Here you will find a folder with DESE guidance, articles shared by group members, as well as notes of the meetings. 

The AHS COVID procedures ,found in the drive, details some of the day to day procedures. Please reach out to me or the department representative on the task force if you have ideas or suggestions. The group will meet next Tuesday morning for the last time before you all return to the building. We do anticipate making adjustments and adding mask break schedules, etc. to this document.

I have also linked here the Google Slide presentation shared with the community and students this week. AHS Reopening plan slides

Please let me know if you have any questions. 

I look forward to seeing you next Thursday.

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...
