Dear Parent or Guardian,

As we partner to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all students, we want to remind families of the high school health documentation required by Massachusetts state law (M.G.L. c. 71, s. 57 and 105 CMR 220.000.

Regulations from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health require all students entering Grades 11 to submit proof of a booster dose of the Meningococcal Conjugate (MenACWY) vaccine.

Along with immunization records, please ensure your child has a copy of a recent physical examination on file. State law requires physicals for all students, grade 4, 7, & 10. 

Please have your healthcare provider complete an updated immunization record/physical and provide a direct printout from your doctor's office. Please return these forms to the school health office or have them faxed 508-966-4183.

Please note physicals for athletics, do not come to the health office and separate copy must be provided.

If you have questions regarding your child's vaccination status or need assistance, please contact us at 508-966-4855.

Sincerely,

Susan Young BSN,RN,BSW,NCSN

The Hispanic and Latin Organization of Leaders in Action (HOLA), an employee resource group at DESE, invites student artists to submit their artwork about Hispanic or Latino identity or culture to be featured in DESE’s Board meeting rooms in late September in honor of Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month. The theme is “Our Diversity is Our Strength.” Students may submit originals or copies of visual art – including but not necessarily limited to drawings, collages, paintings, murals, sculptures, computer illustrations, and photographs. Students may submit work created specifically for this event or work created previously that fits the theme.

The selection committee will prioritize showcasing work from a variety of schools across the Commonwealth. Submissions are due by Monday, September 14. HOLA will make their selections and share their decisions by Friday, September 18. All entries should be submitted using this student art submission form. The submission form includes space for the artist’s name, school, grade, sponsoring teacher, a scan or photo of the piece, the media used, and an optional space for an artist statement.
