Good afternoon all-

I hope you had a wonderful weekend. The weather was certainly bizarre.

Information on Friday, March 19 will be forthcoming but you can plan to use most of the time for preparing for the full return. I will host an discussion session at some point during the afternoon.
We will have much to discuss over the next couple of weeks as we prepare for full in-person learning. I am sharing the Updated AHS COVID procedures here. Please let me know if you have questions or ideas. I'd love to hear things you feel need to be addressed as we bring all students back. 

Please continue to enforce consistent mask use and remind students to follow all building protocols. Students should exit your classroom following the one way hallway directions. eHallpass should be used when students need to leave a class for any reason. 

Term 3 will be extended to April 9, 2021.

Start to plan accordingly for grading as report cards will be released on  April 16. Grades will have to be submitted by no later than Thursday, April 15 at 9am. (That is the latest I can possibly do.)

The schedule for Term 4 will be:
B: 8:35-10:05
A: 10:10-11:40
G: 11:45-1:45
D: 1:50-2:35

Over the next couple of weeks custodians will be swapping out furniture in some rooms. We will be adding the tables back to some classrooms. Please let me know if you have any furniture questions. I will also be speaking with teacher that have larger classrooms and looking for alternate spaces if needed. Please see me if you are concerned about your space. We will have a better idea of class numbers by early next. Families will be identifying if they are returning to full in-person learning or opting for full remote by the end of the week.

Don't hesitate to ask if you have questions or concerns.

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...
