Dear Community,
Whew! What a
week! I must say that this was a busy
one. We successfully wrapped up the 10th
grade ELA MCAS. We also engaged the
juniors in a full pilot of the PARCC. Needless to say that the upcoming April
vacation is a much needed and well deserved break. The testing is important, but not as
important as our partnership. As such, I
would like to thank those of you came to the Spring Parent Shadow Day. We had a wonderful turnout and the feedback was quite positive. Know that we welcome
you to connect with your student’s teachers or guidance counselor if you have
questions or concerns. Call
617-635-9873.
We have still one full school week to go before spring vacation. Please note that Friday, April 17th
marks the last day of the third term.
Students should be making every effort to make up any missed assessments
and/or assignments. We want students to finish the term (and the year) on a
strong note. Your help is greatly
appreciated. Report cards will be mailed
during the week of May 4th.
Parents/guardians of seniors, it’s crunch time! The final push is on. The last day for seniors is May 22nd. Graduation is on June 4th. You can
expect a letter with information on all senior activities in the coming weeks. Let’s get
behind our soon-to-be graduates to ensure that finish strong. Guidance counselors
are in touch where there are concerns.
Your child should have brought a survey home for you to weigh in on your impression of their experience here at Brighton High. I would be greatly appreciated if you would complete this survey and pop it in the mail. They are really, really important to us. You can also complete one online here.
Looks like spring this weekend. Enjoy!
Best,
Dr.T
