     Video - Permanent Shop Selection & Placement for Freshmen (updated on March 24, 2022)

     

    Dear Parents/Guardians of Shawsheen Freshmen,

     

    I am writing to you today with important information on the shop selection and placement process for freshmen. This Friday, March 25, 2022, freshmen will complete the 14th and final cycle of the exploratory program. At 2:05pm on Friday, March 25, 2022, the permanent shop selection form will be sent to all freshmen students electronically (at their Shawsheen email addresses)  via an email from freshman guidance counselor, Ms. Angela Caira. 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.

     

    All students will receive email notifications on Friday, April 1, 2022 confirming their permanent shop placements, and students will report to their permanent shops on Monday, April 4, 2022. Although we strive to place each student in their top choice, we cannot guarantee this if the number of students who select a shop is greater than the number of spaces available in that shop. Meetings will be held between Monday, March 28 and Wednesday, March 30 with any students who do not get placed into their first, second, and/or third top choices for permanent shop placement. Virtual meetings and/or phone conferences will also be offered to all parents/guardians whose students are unable to be placed into any of their top choices.

     

    This is an exciting time as students make important decisions about their future career paths! This is also an important decision, as freshmen will be selecting the shops that they will be in for the remainder of their time in high school. I hope parents/guardians and students are able to work together to review and submit the permanent shop selection forms by the 7:00am deadline on Monday, March 28. To support you in this process, we will also send you a link to a video recording of freshman counselor, Ms. Angela Caira, reviewing the permanent shop selection process prior to the end of this week.

     

    Sincerely,

    Jessica Cook
