Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year!

 Welcome back!

I hope you had a restful summer and I can not wait to see all of you on Tuesday. This past week we enjoyed time with students at the Peer Leader training, New Student Orientation and getting ready for the Class of 2027 Welcome Day. Students are super excited to be back! 

I have created a Google Classroom this summer as a place to house all information sent to faculty/staff. Please join the Classroom using the class code a5ca6a4 if this will be a useful tool for you. This is still a work in progress but hopefully can be a central location for information. 

Our PD meetings will take place in the AHS library unless listed elsewhere. The AHS schedule can be found here.


Lunch will be provided on Tuesday from Sentie's Kitchen and Thursday by the PTO (from Marathon I believe). 

On Thursday, September 7 we will hold a freshmen welcome program. This program will take place all day. Teachers of 9th grade classes will be assigned to assist with supervision. I will have more details for you next week. 

For your planning purposes I have attached the schedule for September 8. More information about the All-school activity and Convocation will be shared next week. 

We will have class meetings the week of September 11, during X-block. 
All meetings may last a little longer.
9/11- Class of 2024
9/12- Class of 2025
9/13- Class of 2026
9/14- Class of 2027

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. Please send your second block seniors to the auditorium, as we are not able to make announcements on 5/14.  Art Saves Ashland, which includes the student art show, as well as the Spring Choral Concert, are happening back to back on Thursday, May 15, starting at 4pm.  The concert is at 7pm in the auditorium.

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...
