Behavior at Sporting Events

We are so happy that our students are attending sporting events to support their classmates and cheer on our Hawks; however, in the last week, we have observed some behavior that is not representative of our Hawk community and Graduate Profile expectations. So we would like to remind our students again about our expectations of appropriate behavior at games:

  • Be kind to players, opponents, and other spectators. 
  • Crude language and name-calling are unacceptable.  
  • Clean up after yourself: food or trash should not be left behind on bleachers, seats, or the floor.
  • Follow directions given by game attendants, ENSATS staff, and rink staff.

 

Parking on Side Streets

The Town of Danvers is working with neighbors to address the excessive parking on side streets around our campus. This matter has taken up a lot of our time in addressing some students who continue to be rude, throw trash, park the wrong way, or park too close to driveways, fire hydrants, and the curb. While there is a legal right to park on a public street, there is a moral responsibility to act appropriately and show empathy for our neighbors. ENSATS provides transportation to every student and has limited parking spots available. We have invested greatly to be good neighbors and to expand parking on campus. We would appreciate our students who are training for the world of work to follow our handbook, be gracious, and respectful when approached by a neighbor or a staff member. Remember that parking on campus is a privilege and not a right. 

 

Text-to-911

We have been asked by the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security to share with our students, staff, and families important information about “Text-to-911”, which allows a person to communicate through text message with a 9-1-1 dispatcher. Please review the following document for more information.

District Report Card

Each school district is required to share its District Report Card with families every year. The District Report Card contains important information about teacher qualifications, MCAS results, student discipline, etc. We have provided the ENSATS District Report Card here.
