ACCESS Testing
ACCESS Testing will begin on January 8th. Students, please stay focused and do your best. If you are not testing, we ask that you remain respectful of those taking this important educational assessment.
Embrace the Gift of Escape at School
School offers students the chance to escape into learning—engaging in lessons and activities without the distraction of their phones. Teachers are prepared to provide meaningful instruction, and we ask for your continued support of our cell phone policy: phones should remain in the cell phone lockers for the duration of class. We strongly encourage families to prioritize school hours for school-related matters and to address other issues outside of the school day, allowing students to fully embrace this “escape.”
Celebrating Our School Community
- Shout out to our Interact Club for hosting another Gingerbread House Making Contest. Congratulations to all who participated! All money raised will be donated to Habitat for Humanity.
- Another shout out to our Special Education Department for hosting another incredible Best Buddies Basketball Game—a wonderful event that brings our school together and celebrates what makes us great!
- Foreign Language NHS students wrote cards to long-term care patients at Cape Cod Hospital.
- Foreign Language NHS students also visited the Yarmouth Senior Center, where they decorated cupcakes and sang carols.
- Shout out to the PE Department: their Officiating class officiated an 8th grade basketball game, providing students with a valuable opportunity to apply knowledge learned in the classroom.
- Congratulations to the teachers who have earned Cape Cod mini-grants to promote learning and student achievement in their classes.
Thank you for your continued support of our students, staff, and school community. I'd also like to give a special thank you to all those who continue to be so generous, especially this time of year. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year.
