Good morning-
I hope you had a wonderful Labor Day weekend.

We will have class meetings the week of September 2, during X-block. Students will be called out of the 2nd period at 10:15am. 

9/2- Class of 2029
9/3- Class of 2028
9/4- Class of 2027

Teachers should use the X-block time on Friday, September 5, to allow students to sign up for X-block. We will be reviewing the expectations in class meetings this week. Please make sure your X-block sessions are created by each Friday. I encourage you to think about how you can use that time to provide tier 2 interventions. 

Our first faculty meeting is on Thursday, September 11, at 2:55pm in the library. All meetings for the year are listed in the Staff Handbook. Please mark those dates now so you can plan around them. The common planning schedule can be found here. If you will be meeting during X-block, please create an activity called Common Planning and set your attendance limit for 0. 

Back to School Night will be September 11, 2025, from 6-8PM. 

As you know, Kevin Anderson is moving on as of September 12, 2025. I am very grateful for his time here as a Clocker and wish him continued success on his new adventure. He has made an incredible impact on our students. I am excited to welcome Pete Connery to the team, starting today! He will spend the next two weeks working closely with Kevin to allow for a smooth transition. 

MPY is excited to announce that registration is now open for the 2025–2026 Webinars and Conferences. To register, each staff member must create an individual account using the unique link provided for your district (feel free to share it with colleagues).

A few things to note: 

·        This form is to create an account only; it does not register users for webinars or conferences. 

·        Users must enter their work email addresses. We will notify members who use personal email addresses that their accounts have been removed, and they must re-register with the school email address.

·        A strong password is required. Once you start typing in a password, a password indicator bar will appear. That must turn green. Then when you start typing in the confirm PW window, the green disappears until the passwords match.

·        Once all the required information is entered, at the bottom click on “Register.”  Please leave the "Login" section blank. 

Once logged into your account, you can register for a webinar or conference by selecting the “Webinars & Conferences” tab at the top of the website. MPY no longer sends confirmation emails or Zoom links. Instead, visit the User Dashboard on our website, where you can easily confirm your registrations and access the Zoom link to join webinars and virtual conferences.

 

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at bonnie@mpyinc.org.

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. These events showcase the amazing talent of many of our students.  Here is the Early Release schedule for Friday, May 16. You can also find it linked on the school calendar. Departments will continue work on curriculum mapping for the afternoon.  Grand March will begin at 4:30pm in the gym if you are planning to stick around to see our p...

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...
