Masks on Buses

As a reminder, it is a state mandate that all students and staff must wear masks while on school buses.  We have had several students over the past week who have boarded buses without a mask.  While the drivers typically have extra masks, they are running through the supplies quickly and often run out.  It is essential that your child arrives at the bus stop with a mask.  Students that do not have masks will not be allowed to board the buses.  We appreciate your cooperation with this mandate.  

 

Clothing, hats, and Masks during CTE Class

It was brought to our attention by teachers that students in the CTE exploratory and classes are wearing hoodies and not wearing masks properly as well as upper students. This is challenging when some programs are holding their students accountable. Students who are in CTE should be dressed appropriately. When indoors, no hoodies, hats, and with a uniform. We are training the future workforce and these are expectations. 

 

MCAS Retests in English Language Arts and Mathematics

This coming week, we have a small number of juniors and seniors who will be taking the MCAS Mathematics Retest on November 9th and 10th and then the following week the MCAS English Language Arts Retest on November 16th and 17th for juniors and an additional day of testing for seniors on November 18th.  We will be testing students across the street in Smith Hall and will provide students with breakfast, a snack, and if necessary, lunch.   

4:15 pm and 5:45 pm Late Buses

Our 4:15 pm late buses run on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.  These 4:15 buses are for students that remain at school for extra-curricular activities or for extra help.  Students are not allowed to remain at school unless they are with a club or a teacher.   The 5:45 pm buses run everyday for athletes and drama students only.  Students must sign up using the online form by 9:30 am.  If students do not sign up on time, we may not have a bus that is traveling to their stop.
