The word of the month is COURAGE.
- mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty.
We have some noteworthy calendar events to keep in mind. With MCAS around the corner, you may want to have these handy. Students will need a school device in order to take the MCAS. If your child does not have a device, they should speak to their homeroom teachers tomorrow. We will need to make sure we have a device ready for them on administration days.

Comprehensive Pooled Testing
With a full return to in-person learning we are asking your consideration to participate in our pooled testing. It is the BEST tool we have for identifying positive asymptomatic cases and this greatly reduces the spread of the virus. The higher the percentage of participants, the higher the ability to identify asymptomatic cases. As always, any identified positive cases will be followed up with contact tracing. All close contacts will be contacted and quarantined per CDC, Mass DOH, and local health department guidelines.
Please remember that you may use the Aspen parent portal to make adjustments to your current consent document at any time.
