Good morning- X-block reminders:   Please take time at the end of 2nd block to make sure every student logs-in to Flextime Manager and signs up for a session each day.  As a reminder, Wednesday students will be takin the Positive Community Norms survey during X-block and will stay in 2nd block to do so. Directions will be in your mailboxes on Tuesday and students will receive the link directly through email.  We will have 2nd & 3rd year teachers from our district, Milford, and Mendon-Upton in the building for learning walks on Wednesday as well. Please welcome them if you see them around. With only 2 weeks left to the term please make sure you are updating grades in iPass as well as reaching out to students and parents of anyone who is failing. Have a wonderful week.

Good afternoon- Thank you for your participation in faculty meeting on Thursday. We will continue to hold students in 2nd period on Monday's in order to encourage them to sign themselves for the week. Please spend a few minutes making sure students log-in to the website and make choices. Remind them to check X-block each day in case a teacher has added them to their schedule. I will send a more detailed response to your letter/questions prior to the requested deadline of Wednesday but would like to reiterate that this is a collaborative effort. We need teachers to take attendance and to not keep students who are supposed to be elsewhere. We will continue to monitor the halls and make sure students go where they are expected to be.
