Principal's Update - December 18th 2020
Thank you to everyone for making our first Remote Learning Day (that was in lieu of a snow day) a success! We had an impressive 94.48% student daily attendance rate - which speaks volumes about the commitment of our students, as well as the effort our educators have put in to engage them. To date this school year, our average student daily attendance rate is 96.29%, which is something to celebrate in the midst of a pandemic. For comparison, our average student daily attendance rate for the 2019-2020 school year was 96%.

Principal's Update - November 20th 2020
Today I'd like to give a special shout-out to all of our students for their participation, cooperation, and effort over the past two weeks while we have been 100% remote. Students have been through a number of significant transitions over the past year - from normal school operations, to a full shutdown last spring, to a hybrid model this fall, and then to a 100% remote model over the past two weeks. Everyone recognizes this is not easy for anyone - especially students. In the face of that, I think it's important to note the resiliency and adaptability students have exhibited in the face of those challenges. I hope parents & guardians enjoyed the conversations with teachers last night about both the progress and challenges students are experiencing this year, and I encourage you to build on these conversations with teachers throughout the school year. We can best support students by working together.

Update from Principal Jessica Cook - October 28th
I am so proud of everything we have accomplished at Shawsheen since we returned to school in mid-September under a hybrid learning model for students. Everyone in our community – staff, students, and families – have worked diligently to make this as successful and safe as possible. When we first introduced our current hybrid model in August, Dr. Jackson and I shared that we would monitor its implementation and make adjustments as necessary to best support the learning of all students. I am writing today to make you aware of an adjustment we will be making during academic weeks and putting into effect the first week of the second quarter, which begins on Monday, November 16, 2020.

The Shawsheen Tech Community is a special one - I have felt this way since I first started working here as a teacher in the fall of 2009. Shawsheen educators are passionate about our mission and believe in our students; Shawsheen students are talented and curious learners who crave relevant, hands-on learning experiences that will prepare them for diverse career paths; Shawsheen families are active partners who are invested in the school and in working with us to best support students; and community partners are relentless advocates and supporters of the work that we do
