AP and MCAS Testing
Advanced Placement testing began earlier this week and continues into next week. Students should continue to check their email regularly for important updates.
Grade 10 students will be taking Math MCAS on May 21 and 22. Please talk to your student about doing their best on this graduation requirement.
Seniors - Approaching the Finish Line
Seniors have two weeks of classes left. Many need to pass all of their courses to graduate. Families: if you have any concerns, please contact your student’s teachers so you can work collaboratively toward successful outcomes. Senior obligations also need to be taken care of as soon as possible. Lastly, seniors will also have to return their Chromebooks and chargers prior to graduation. More details on that will be forthcoming.
Underclassmen - Approaching the Finish Line Too
Although a little farther out than seniors, the end of the year is also quickly approaching for our grade 9-11 students. Again, please check Aspen and your email frequently for updates from our staff regarding your student’s progress. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out immediately. In last week’s update, we shared information regarding T3 progress reports and our guidelines regarding late and resubmitted work. Please make sure you are aware of grades and expectations to help ensure successful outcomes for all students.
Parent Drop Off and Pick Up
Please use the assigned routes for drop off and pick up. We have had parents pulling into staff parking spots when they drop off in the morning as well as in the afternoon. Unfortunately, this causes issues for staff who arrive after 7:15 a.m. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
