The Masconomet High School community believes that learning enables us all to achieve ambitious personal goals, develop fine minds, and build strong character. Therefore, we foster the acquisition of attitudes, skills, and knowledge necessary for life-long learners to think critically in order to participate in a global society.

This is a reminder that we DO NOT allow food deliveries to students during the academic school day. There has been an uptick in deliveries to the building and we are not equipped to receive food deliveries to the Main Office or any other location in the building.

We will be sending a small team (six students) to the IDEAS Strength in Diversity conference at Lincoln-Sudbury High School on December 9th. The purpose of this conference is to engage students from a range of racial and ethnic backgrounds in conversation on issues of racism, intolerance, discrimination, and allied behavior. Because enrollment is limited, there is a quick turnaround to the application. Here is information provided by IDEAS for families and students that better describes the day. If you are interested in applying to attend, please fill out the application, print, and return it to the Main Office by Wednesday, November 9th, by 2:15 PM (email applications will NOT be accepted).

Quarter 1 closed on Friday, November 4th. The Power School portal will open again no later than 4 PM, Tuesday, November 15, 2022. If you have specific questions about grades while the portal is closed, please reach out directly to your teachers. We will send out a reminder when the Portal is open and report cards are available.

Snow Ball tickets will be on sale at lunch from 11/7-11/21. Cost is $65 (checks only, payable to “Masco Class of 2023”).

The new episode of The Morning Update is now posted.

Many new articles are also published on The Chieftain Chronicle website, where you will find the start of club coverage for the year. Take a peek!

On Sunday, some of our club officers (Charlotte Shaw, Sara Tocci, and Lily Wheadon) spent the morning planting blueberry bushes (and chatting and snacking too) with members of the garden club. It was such a wholesome community event, and I am so proud of these students and their dedication to service.

As a reminder, all students have a community service requirement for graduation. There are typically many opportunities during the weeks leading up to winter break to volunteer with different organizations. Please check out the community service website for further information regarding opportunities, hours required for each graduating class year, and the linked Google form for students to fill out and receive credit for hours completed.

If you are involved in an organization that has upcoming availability for student volunteers, we are always posting new opportunities for students on our website. In order to have your opportunity listed, please fill out the Google form.

As we look forward to the Fall Athletic Newsletter in the coming weeks, I wanted to extend my congratulations to the athletes and coaches representing Masconomet at the Freshman and JV level. These teams are critical to the growth of our Varsity programs, but also allow students to pursue passions that were developed in the elementary and middle school years. Research shows that feeling a connection to your school allows students to better engage in the learning process. Further, playing on a team helps athletes develop important skills about the different roles people play as member of a team. -- Good luck to the Freshman Football team that will play their final game on Monday!

Girls Volleyball will be at home on Monday (11/7/2022) for a 5:00 PM game in the round of 16.

Girls Soccer moves onto the round of 16 with a game against Melrose on Wednesday at 6:30 PM under the lights at Bishop Fenwick.

Field Hockey moves onto the round of 16 taking on Scituate, Wednesday at 2:30 PM at the Boxford turf.

Congratulations to the Varsity Football team on their qualification for post-season play. The team fought until the very end against a talented Wakefield team on Friday night. Thank you to everyone who came out in support of the team. They will play a consolation game later this week.

Congratulations to Coach Monagle who earned is 100th win last week against Swampscott. We thank him for his tireless commitment to our football program.

Be sure to sign up for the Winter season by heading over to the athletic website to start the process.
