MCAS Testing this week
Hello,
I think we have turned the curve and are squarely in Spring as we enter our third week of May. Seasonal temps and sun coming up and a week full of activities from Math MCAS, Credit for Life Fair for Seniors, the Spring Musical and Stress Less Day. Add in a full schedule of Athletics and it is a fun and busy week with something for everyone!
Our Seniors enter their last full week of their high school career. It is a time with much emotion. Please remember that your job is not quite done and the ultimate goal is to reach the finishing line of graduation and receive a diploma on June 3. Keep focused, be smart, be safe and make good decisions!
With all the activity students still need to keep focused and effectively manage their academics. Consistent communication with teachers, routine checks of power school and strategic and meaningful use of the FLEX block are strongly encouraged to best support learning and academic success.
Have a great week!
