Good morning-

Happy picture day! Students will be called to the auditorium by grade and in alphabetical order. Please ensure that you also have your picture taken. This is for 2025-2026 ID purposes. 

If you are out for a portion of the day, please change the setting to "No Sub Needed". We can cover those absences internally. If you are not able to change the setting yourself, reach out to the business office to have it fixed.

There are many people not scheduled for X-block. Please remember that if it is your common planning time, schedule that as an activity and mark it 0 for attendance. 

As you start to meet with clubs, please review the anti-hazing laws and have the group leaders sign the Anti-Hazing Student Group Form prior to Friday, September 26. The law is attached below, and you should remind students about expectations prohibiting any kind of hazing. You can leave the form in the folder at the back of Linda's desk.

Under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 269, Sections 17-19 and 603 CMR 33.00, all secondary schools, both public and private, must:

  • Adopt anti-hazing policies as part of their disciplinary policies.
  • Distribute copies of the anti-hazing law to all students enrolled full-time; to all student groups, teams, and organizations that are part of or are recognized by the school or are permitted by the school to use its name and facilities; and to all known unaffiliated student groups, teams, or organizations.

A colleague at the middle school shared this tip, and I thought it would be helpful to pass it along: 
If you wish to translate a PDF, simply snip that portion and paste it into Gemini. When you place your cursor over the pasted pic, you will see a camera icon- that is Google Lens. Click, and a new window opens up. The Google Translate icon is shown, and you can choose whatever language you wish to change the PDF into. 

Hello Faculty and Staff,

Just a quick heads-up from your friends in Nutrition Services! We follow USDA guidelines, and DESE oversees our program. To stay compliant, we’ve updated our adult meal pricing:

  • Adult Meal: $5.30

  • A la Carte Entrée (e.g., burger or pizza): $1.90

We haven’t raised adult meal prices in over four years, so this small change was necessary. But don’t worry, the Clocker Café is still the best restaurant in town, serving up delicious meals at an unbeatable value!

We hope to see you in the café for lunch soon!

Best,
Regina

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...
