    Reminder: Students Must Report to Supervised Locations After School

    Students staying after school must be in a supervised location at all times. This includes staying after for extra help with a teacher, staying in the library (open Mon-Thurs until 5:30), staying in the Fitness Center (open Mon-Fri until 5:00), or with a coach or an advisor for a team, club, or activity. If an extra-help session, practice, or meeting ends early, students are expected to report to the library until their bus or ride arrives to pick them up.

     

    Reminder: Today is the Last Day to Provide Meet & Greet Feedback

    Last week, we shared a link to a feedback form (included below)  for the Meet & Greet we hosted on Thursday, September 28. Please take a few minutes to complete that survey if you have not done so already. We used feedback from last year to re-structure some aspects of the evening this year, and would like to use feedback on this year's event to inform any changes for next year. 

     

    Reminder: PSAT & Junior Schedules - Tuesday, October 17, 2023

    On the morning of Tuesday, October 17, juniors signed up for the PSAT will report to assigned testing locations where they will remain until their assigned lunch times for that day. Juniors not signed up for the PSAT will report to assigned study hall locations until their assigned lunch times for that day. Following lunch, all juniors will report to their scheduled classes for periods 6, 7, and 8.

     

    Reminder: Grade 9 Museum of Science Field Trip - Tuesday, October 17, 2023

    On Tuesday, October 17, 2023, we will be taking the entire freshman class to the Boston Museum of Science.  Every student will be provided with a meal at the museum and will also be scheduled to see an OMNI show.  We will depart Shawsheen at 8:00 a.m. and will return by 2:00 p.m. Chaperones will be responsible for approximately 10 students, and we will have a nurse as well as two school administrators attending the field trip.  There is no cost to your student for this trip, however they are allowed to bring spending money should they want additional snacks or something from the gift store.
