Permanent Shop Selection & Placement for Freshmen

Earlier this week, I emailed freshmen parents/guardians regarding the permanent shop selection & placement process for freshmen. You can review the full message by clicking the following link: Permanent Shop Selection & Placement for Freshmen. Two time-sensitive reminders from that message include:

1. Permanent shop placement & selection forms were emailed to freshmen (at their Shawsheen email addresses) at 2:05pm today, Friday, March 25, 2022.
2. Students must complete and submit those forms by 7:00am on Monday, March 28, 2022. Failure to submit the form on time could result in a student not getting one of their top three choices for permanent shop placement.
