School Calendar Update for 2021-2022 School Year: Due to the numbers of snow days we had this school year; our last day of school is now June 21, 2022. It will be a half of day. Dismissal will be at 12:30 PM. There will be no school the day before, June 20th, in observance of Juneteeth.
Reminders from the School Nurse: This week we had 2 cases of Covid-19 in our school. If your student was a close contact then you were notified by the school nurse. It is not required for your child to receive a Covid-19 vaccine, however if your child has had it and you are willing to let us know it would be appreciated and helpful in cases when we need to do contact tracing.
Stay healthy! ~Nurse Sarah and Sammy
8th grade families: This is a reminder that all high school applications should be complete. Tech and Worcester Public Career Pathways are the latest deadlines (April 1st). If you and your child have not completed applications at this point you will be enrolling your child in your district public school in June for the fall. Please feel free to reach out to Lisa Moore if you have any questions.
All students who have applied to Tech and the pathways should have a “verified” status at this point for the April 13th lottery (all records have been submitted). In order to progress further they have to have passing ELA and Math grades for Trimester 2.
