I hope this message finds you doing well. We had a very well attended school building forum last night. You can view the recording HERE and you can access the Google feedback form HERE.

What happens after the forum?

The School Building Committee will convene on Tuesday, October 18, 2022. The SBC will review the comments from constituents, deliberate, and vote to recommend a preferred option to the Nashoba Regional School Committee. The Nashoba Regional School Committee will convene on Wednesday, October 19, 2022 to deliberate and vote on whether to accept the recommended option, which will be submitted to the Massachusetts School Building Authority no later than October 27, 2022.

Nashoba Regional High School will be hosting a flu clinic and health fair on Oct. 13, 2022 for all community members from 3-6PM. Pre-registration for the flu vaccine is required using the links posted on the Nashoba Associated Boards of health website at https://www.nashoba.org/calendar. If you are unable to attend this evening, other locations and times are on the website.

In our continued efforts to support students and families who may be experimenting with substances. Hidden in Plain Sight will be available at our health fair. You do not need to attend the flu clinic to participate.

Hidden in Plain Sight is a parent education exhibit created by Influence the Choice. This exhibit is a re-creation of a "typical teenager's bedroom" that teaches parents how to spot signs of drug use or abuse. The program offers adults insight into what youths may be hiding in their rooms by providing a mock-up of a typical teenager's bedroom.

After exploring the exhibit, the hope is that participants will have a developed awareness of the indicators of drug abuse, common methods of concealment and the paraphernalia used in the processing and use of illicit drugs.

Participants will also learn about law enforcement's efforts and experiences in combating alcohol and drug abuse and about resources for those seeking help and information.

Come enjoy some fun musical selections at the Nashoba Regional High School in October and November!
