We've finally resolved a technical issue so that starting last week, all Secondary students receive this weekly newsletter. Students will be able to review the newsletter during school with their following teacher. The newsletter also often has information from the transition office, different resources, and upcoming events, and we want to make sure this is shared with students as well as families.
This week, Secondary students have had many different events. Students have been taking MAP testing, which will continue for makeups through the end of October. Last Wednesday was a half day. Thursday we had two groups of students going on field trips. It's nice to be back to having field trips out in the community again. On Tuesday we had an opportunity for Black students to come together and discuss their shared experience. We're offering Black Space meetings every other week on Tuesdays and if your child would like more information, please reach out. Also this week, a Gallaudet recruiter visited in person to meet with juniors and seniors who are interested in learning more about attending Gallaudet University.
Looking ahead, for high school students, we're in the process of re-establishing our National Honor Society chapter after a year and a half hiatus. We will be in touch with students and families who are eligible. Next week we will have ACT testing for high school students who have already registered, Black Space again on Tuesday, and that brings us to the end of October! In November, we will have MCAS testing for high school juniors and seniors, and we will keep communicating with you about upcoming events.
Have a great weekend!
