Good afternoon and happy Friday.
This is our first Family Reconnect Weekend of the year. I hope you all are able to enjoy a lovely long weekend whether you stay close to home or are traveling and that you enjoy some time as a family.
MCAS scores were mailed home this week if your child attended Ashland Public Schools last year. Please let us know if you do are expecting scores and do not receive them. Once again we were thrilled with our results and proud of the success of our students. Students attending charter or other public schools last year should receive the report from that school. McAuliffe did notify us that they are sending the reports to us so we will main those once we receive them.
We have a current Donors Choose grant that is due to expire in 13 days. Please check out the link below and consider supporting the grant.
