Dear Community,
Happy Friday! First, allow me to extend a most sincere "thank you" to the parents and guardians of current 10th graders. They showed up in a most impressive way to strut their academic stuff during the English Language Arts MCAS testing days. Attendance rates during the testing days were among the best of for the 10th grade class all year. We will try again on May 13th and 14th for math MCAS. Parents of 9th graders, take note, the science MCAS is June 2nd and 3rd. It is important for your students to present every day for all sorts of reasons, but in particular to be prepared to do well on the exam.
Also, I would like to extend "thanks" to those of your who attended the spring open house last night. There are two additional opportunities to engage in the near future. April 30th is Student Shadow Day. Come see your student's classes live! On May 1st, "Speak" is happening. This is a multicultural potluck and student talent show event. More on both soon.
I'll leave you with a piece of good news. The Daly Field project is moving forward. This is a partnered plan with Simmons College to construct soccer, football, and softball fields as well as tennis courts. This essentially would create a bonafide home field for Brighton High School. This is very good news!
Next Wednesday is an early release day.
Enjoy your weekend!
Best,
Dr. T
