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....

Good afternoon- I hope you have been able to dig out from the storm. Tomorrow is sure to be a little chaotic, and I fully predict we will have students who don't understand the exam schedule changes and families who may keep their students home. We will need to be flexible! Stay warm! Here is the schedule for tomorrow:  G block exam: 10:30 am- 12 pm Lunch: 1st (12:05-12:35) - English, math, & science             2nd (12:40-1:10) - history, world language, unified arts, special education, ELL & wellness Students will need to be asked to remain in their class for first lunch and return to the class they were testing in for second lunch. We will do our best with this but are not going to stress about kids being elsewhere. We have no way of knowing how many G block students are staying for A block.  A block exam: 1:15 pm- 2:45 pm Along with the updated midyear exam schedule .  Grades for Term 2 will close on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, a...
