Thank you to all of you for being part of getting the Class of 2026 to the finish line. My favorite line from Friday night was when one senior took his diploma, and I said, "You did it." he emphatically said, "No, WE did it." 

Now it's time to wrap up the year for the rest of the students. 

The Biology MCAS and Seal of Biliteracy tests are scheduled for June 8-9, 2026. 

Please see Carolyn's email regarding MCAS proctor assignments and related matters. We were notified Thursday night (such incredible timing) that DESE will be observing our MCAS process on Tuesday. If you are a proctor, PLEASE thoroughly review all expectations. My understanding is that the DESE staff member may be observing some rooms and checking that we are following expected procedures. 

The following juniors will be taking the Seal of Biliteracy assessment on Monday:
Campos, Kamylla
Castro, Julia
Chiodelli, Valentina
Costa, Jullia
Cunha, Mikaelly
Doktorov, Daniel
Gonzaga, Paulo
Hickey, Erin
LeJeune, Dean
Nogueira, Sophia 
Pinto, Gabriella
Pshenychnyi, Renat
Shabalin, Stepan
Varshaver, Guy
Zakharenko, Maksym
 
They should report to the Language Lab at the start of the school day. Please remind them if they show up to your class and do not mark them absent. 

Please keep reminding students about the Final Exam schedule. Students are expected to be here for the scheduled exam time unless they have received their Dean's approval.

There will be a Digital Wellness Innovation Workshop on Tuesday night at the Verve Hotel and spots are still available if anyone is interested.

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...
