Good Evening Parents, Guardians, Caregivers, and Students:

We made it to the long holiday weekend! The weather has been beautiful and it looks to be perfect for leaf-peeping. We wish you a peaceful and relaxing long weekend and hope you have time to check out the Topsfield Fair to support our FFA Cider Stand.

There is one month left until Quarter 1 ends on November 8th. Therefore, there are approximately 2 blue weeks and 2 green cycles left in the quarter. Students and caregivers should be checking grades in Schoology to be sure that assignments are complete and nothing is missing.

Ill Children Should Stay Home

We have seen an increase in children coming into school who are sick. We ask that children stay home if they are not feeling well or exhibiting any COVID-like symptoms. Because we use Schoology, makeup work is easily accessible. We would rather your child get the rest they need at home. Please review the following Nurses Notes for more specific information regarding COVID symptoms.
