    Today's Wildfire Smoke

    Tuesday, October 29, 2024

    Dear Shawsheen Students, Families and Colleagues,

    Earlier today, we made the decision to require all classes (including physical education classes and CTE classes working on projects outdoors) to remain indoors for the remainder of the school day. We made this decision in response to concerns about the impact smoke from local wildfires was having on air quality in our area.

    We have not canceled any outdoor after-school activities for today, but recognize that some students (and their families) may have concerns about participating in outdoor activities. Therefore, I am writing to inform you that no student will be penalized if they choose not to attend an outdoor after-school activity (including sports practices) due to concerns about the air quality this afternoon.

    Sincerely,

    Jessica Cook
