 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 the classes of 2021 & 2024 will learn remotely/from home on these days in order to account for space and proctoring coverage. Students will be expected to complete asynchronous work following the regular school schedule and may have synchronous classes for the last two blocks of the day.  


Class of 2024 enrolled in Biology:

June 8- Biology


Just so you are aware, we now have a late bus available at AHS Monday through Thursday. 


Senior shout-out's! Thanks to all of the teachers who have submitted a shout out to a member of the Class of 2021. We still have students who need to hear a positive. The list is attached (any highlighted name means they already have a shout out): Class of 2021 list

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 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...
