Good evening all-

Thank you for your patience with course recommendations. I hope to talk to iPass tomorrow to fix whatever the issue is. 

As you know, we are working towards both live streaming as well as increasing time on Wednesday. We will be reaching out to students to remind them of these changes and encourage you to do so as well. Here is a proposed schedule for Wednesday's during Term 3 & 4:

C Period 8:35-9:20

E Period 9:25-10:10

10 Minute Break

F Period 10:20-11:05

D Period 11:10-11:55


At the School Committee meeting this past Thursday it was approved to allow clubs and activities approved to meet outside of school hours following COVID guidelines. If you have a group that can meet with less than 15 students in a room and maintain social distance, please feel free to do so. In person meetings should be based on your comfort level. There is no pressure or expectation to do this. Please also keep in mind club members that do not have transportation and consider a virtual option if you are planning some in person meetings.

You can also meet with students for extra help and make up work outside of school hours. Keep in mind student transportation issues, as we will have no late bus. Students can not remain in the building without a specific purpose but teacher approved reasons to stay are approved.


FYI: The community service graduation requirement for the Class of 2021 has been waived.

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...
