Dear Shawsheen Students, Families, and Colleagues,
Thank you to everyone who was able to join us for last evening’s Meet & Greet! We hope you had a great experience meeting with members of our staff and learning more about your student’s experience at Shawsheen! You can access the grade-level presentations from last night by clicking the links below. We will send out information about how to book teacher conferences for our Parent/Guardian-Teacher Night on November 19th when we get closer to that date.
Reminder – Applications due on SUNDAY: 2026-2027 SVTHS Student Cabinet & Student Representative to the School Committee
The following message was originally sent to students on Monday, September 14, 2026:
The Shawsheen Valley Technical High School (SVTHS) Student Cabinet is a representative group of Shawsheen students who meet regularly throughout the school year with the Principal to provide feedback and speak on behalf of the students at Shawsheen. Meetings will take place at 2:15pm on the dates arranged. The students in this group elect the Student Representative to the School Committee. The Student Representative to the School Committee is expected to attend monthly School Committee meetings (the last Tuesday of each month at 7:00pm) and provide a report to the School Committee at each meeting.
All students interested in serving on the SVTHS Student Cabinet for the 2026-2027 school year must submit the 2026-2027 SVTHS Student Cabinet Application by Sunday, September 27, 2026. Students will be notified by the beginning of October if they have been selected to be on the Student Cabinet or not. If more students apply than the number of spaces available, we will select students to create a representative group reflective of the Shawsheen student body based on student demographics, sending town, grade-level and vocational/technical program.
