A Message from Principal Callaghan
Dear Seniors & Families,
I hope this message finds you well and enjoyed the first week of the full return to school. I can tell you that your teachers, counselors, and administrators were all thrilled to have our school filled with students. Your leadership in setting a positive and cooperative tone is noticeable and very much appreciated--keep it up until your last day--thank you!
Please see the important updates below:
Seniors' Last Day of School is now Tuesday, May 25th-
The schedule for the day is still being finalized, but it will include attending morning classes followed by 'Field Day' activities that are socially distanced, distribution of yearbooks, and ice cream to go; Seniors will be dismissed for the day by 11:30 am.
Senior Dinner Under the Lights - June 2nd (Time is still being finalized)
The evening will include an opportunity for seniors to have a light dinner of pizza and salad, some small group activities, games, and music. It will be a safe and socially distanced event and a time for seniors to come together in one place.
Baccalaureate - June 4th at 6 pm to 7 pm
This year's ceremony will have speakers, reflective essays, and culminates with the playing of the Senior Video. SENIORS ONLY ATTEND LIVE IN THE AUDITORIUM. Parents/Families are to watch Livestream at home on Westborough TV. Immediately following Baccalaureate, students and families are invited to join us on the turf field for the "Project Graduation's Stroll Down Memory Lane".

- Date: Saturday, June, 5 pm (*the start time may change slightly depending on the weather or some other uncontrollable force)
- Masks that cover the nose and mouth must be worn at all times
- We will strictly follow the State Guidelines for outdoor graduations
- Physical/social distancing of 6 feet must be maintained at all times for spectators
- Graduating Seniors will be spaced 3 feet apart on the turf

- Each student is allowed up to 6 guests (not including the graduate)
