Dear Shawsheen Students, Families and Colleagues,
We invite all parents/guardians to join us on the evening of September 25, 2025, for our 'Meet & Greet' Parent/Guardian-Teacher Night. We ask parents/guardians to arrive by 5:50pm since the schedule will begin promptly at 6pm. The evening will run until 8pm. During the two-hour event, parents/guardians will attend a grade-level presentation, follow their student's Thursday academic week schedule to meet teachers, and report to their student's shop to meet with the shop teachers (grades 10-12 only). When you arrive, your starting location will depend on your student's grade level:
Grade 9 = Cafeteria for presentation
Grade 10 = student's 1st period classroom (Thursday of academic week)
Grade 11 = student's shop
Grade 12 = student's 1st period classroom (Thursday of academic week)
You can view the entire schedule for the evening by clicking on the following link: Meet & Greet Schedule - Thursday, September 25, 2025. If you need a printed copy of your child's schedule prior to the start of the Meet & Greet, please report to the SVTHS library between 5pm-5:50pm that evening.
