Good afternoon-
I hope you have had a wonderful week!
If you missed the announcement earlier this week please see the attached message. We are so pleased to announce that Mrs. Lauren Carreiro, Dean of Students, has been named by the Massachusetts School Administrators Association as the 2018 Assistant Principal of the Year. I couldn't be more grateful to work with such an amazing, caring, and innovative colleague.
This morning we had a wonderful breakfast hosted by the PBIS team, Peer Leaders and Student Council to honor the 80 students who were nominated by a staff member for continuously modeling the core values. It was a great group!
A few reminders and upcoming dates:
12/13- Winter Choral concert- 7pm
12/20- Clocker Idol - 7pm
Dismissal time on December 22nd- High School: 12:35 p.m.
For planning purposes here is the mid-term exam schedule for next month. Exams are scheduled for the last four days of the semester- January 23-26.
NEASC (New England Association of Schools and Colleges) Accreditation:
NEASC accreditation is a system of accountability that is ongoing, voluntary, and comprehensive in scope. WE WANT AND NEED YOUR INPUT!
Parents, please take time to complete the attached survey and help provide us with valuable information:
We ask that every family complete one survey. You do not need to complete multiple surveys if you have more than one student in the school. Thanks for the feedback some of you have provided. I am sharing with NEASC. This is a relatively new survey and they welcome any thoughts.
Have a wonderful weekend and be sure to check out the Parent Flyers .
