Good morning-

As we head into this week I want to express how much I appreciate all of you. I hope you enjoy the fun celebrations that come with this short week and spend quality time with family and friends over the Thanksgiving break. Don't forget to wear your pj's Monday!

Red Cross Blood Drive:

The Early Release schedule for November 27 is attached here. I was disappointed to hear we did not secure the mechanical bull and I'm not sure I will pull off the entrance by parachute, as requested by StuCo, but I am sure it will be a fun rally regardless. 😆



Congratulations to our ACADEC team on their 3rd place in this weekend's competition at Springfield International Charter School. Below is the list of students who were able to compete this weekend, with an asterisk next to everyone who earned at least one award.  Please congratulate Nate Kinsman, who got 1st place overall in the Varsity division, but he had to leave for work and wasn't there to collect his award in person or be in our photo!

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...
