Good morning-

Grades will close for teachers on Thursday, November 13, at 8am. They will be open for students and parents/guardians after 3PM on Friday, November 14, 2025. Please remember that any student failing with a score below 50 should have a 50 entered unless you have had a discussion with the student's Dean. 

We have noticed an increase in students standing at the door and hallway prior to the bell ringing each day. Please have students remain in their seats or in the classroom with the door closed if you are okay with them standing, until the bell rings. It is disruptive to your colleagues who are still teaching when nearby classrooms are loud and in the hall.

Here is the modified schedule for the MWAHS, which will be administered on Wednesday, November 19. Please review this important letter for teachers regarding the administration of the survey.  

DESE will conduct an in-district review during the week of December 1, and we need a group of teachers to participate in an interview on Tuesday, December 2. The interview will be from 12:10 to 1:10 PM. If you are interested in participating in the interview, please let me know.  

Today (Monday, November 10) is the Unified Basketball Jamboree. Opening ceremonies begin at 3:30PM. This is a must-attend, wonderful event that brings together several area/TVL schools. Come out and support our Unified athletes!

Have a wonderful week!

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...
