MCAS Math Testing 5/16 & 5/17
May 14, 2023
Good evening,
A Happy Mother’s Day to our Spartan Mom’s! I hope you had a great day and wonderful weekend.
A busy week ahead at SHS with the Grade 10 Math MCAS, Seniors last full week of classes, Stress Less Day, the Spring Musical and a full schedule of athletics competition. Certainly, something for everyone!
Seniors, enjoy your last full week of classes.
As we enter this third week of May, with an abundance of extracurricular activities, the influence of the excitement of our Seniors and their pending graduation and the increasing warm weather, the distractions are many and the call for Summer becomes louder. With this in mind, underclassmen are reminded that there are seventeen school days of classes before Final Exams. There are still seventeen FLEX blocks to meet with teachers, complete classwork and projects and get any needed academic support. Use this time to your advantage and to best support your learning and academic progress.
Here’s to a good week! Go Spartans!
Best,
Bryan Lombardi
Principal
