Good afternoon-
Thanks to all of you who attended Back to School Night. It was wonderful to see so many of you meeting our teachers and hearing about the curriculum.
Congratulations to our Semifinalists in the 2023 National Merit® Scholarship Program !
District Allergy Awareness Policy
Parents or guardians must contact their child's school nurse and kitchen manager to alert them about their child's allergies.
If the student plans to eat food prepared by Ashland Public Schools Nutrition Services, they need to contact the kitchen manager at their child's school to tell them when and what they plan to eat from the cafeteria. Parents must notify the kitchen managers before the meal service to ensure adequate time to check the ingredients on all the products used in preparing the meal the student plans to eat. The student must say their name and what their allergy is before the staff member serves them their meal to keep the student safe from eating something they are allergic to.
Caregivers and students can review the district's guidelines for managing life-threatening allergies in the online policy manual.
Next week is Homecoming week!
The homecoming dance is on Saturday, September 24th from 7pm - 10pm. Tickets will be sold at all lunches next week for $8 (and will be sold at the door for $10.)

Ashland High School, alongside nearly 100 schools across Massachusetts has committed to launching an exciting new program called iDECIDE (Drug Education Curriculum: Intervention, Diversion, and Empowerment) that was developed in collaboration between Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, and the Institute for Health and Recovery. iDECIDE aims to provide students experimenting with substances and/or who got caught using substances at school the knowledge, skills, and motivation necessary to make healthier decisions.
