 Good morning- I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Thank you for your participation in PD on Friday. It was wonderful to see all of the small group conversations happening and I hope you found the time beneficial.  This week we will administer the Math MCAS test. Thank you to Erin for the incredible amount of work she has done to get this all organized. Please review the updates for this week, some assignments may have changed. Please keep reminding your students in clubs/activities that they must provide a copy of the vaccination card to nursing or sign up for pool testing in order to meet in person. I am happy to share with you the official NEASC Notification Letter  of accreditation. I am looking forward to getting to some of the work we have to complete in the 21-22 school year as it is a continuation of the great work we were doing pre-COVID.  For now, I know you join me in counting down the days until graduation for the Class of 2021. Thanks to all of you who r...

 Good morning all- Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!! As we kick off a month of AP, Seal of biliteracy, and MCAS I once again say thank you, thank you, thank you for your patience and flexibility. We will celebrate with a staff luncheon next Friday (5/14/21) to kick off our professional development.  Pool testing for all athletes starts this week. I anticipate it may take a little longer to test all students but I know the nurses will be working hard to make sure the process goes smoothly and students get to class quickly. If you are a club/activity advisor and will be holding in person meetings or events please instruct your students to sign up for testing or provide a copy of their full vaccination in order to participate.  As a reminder the MCAS testing schedule for 2021:     All teachers are expected to work from the building on these days and may be needed to proctor a session, Classes of 2022 & 2023 May 12-13- English May 20-21- Math  Members of th...
