I hope everyone had an amazing vacation. As you know, we start back up tomorrow and enter into a new year. This week, although short, will be will be filled with opportunities to kick-start the learning process for 2020. I am looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. Enjoy your last day of vacation.

School News:
1. Computer Issue Update: I haven't had an official update from Dan yet, but I do know that our server is back up and running and computers that were affected have be fixed by our tech guys. Please let me know right away if you are still having any computer issues.
2. Ron Conway Jr. Update: Ron's familiy is requesting that the services remain private. All of his services will be held on Friday. On behalf of CMS, I sent flowers. As I stated earlier, I will be reading a short announcement tomorrow in Ron's honor prior to our Moment of Silence. Please keep an eye on your students and let us know immediately if guidance is needed. These situations are never easy. If you wish to mail a card to Ron's parents, here's the address:
Mr. & Mrs. Ronald Conway, Sr.
133 Ramshorn Road
Dudley, MA 01571
3. Access Testing: For your preparation and knowledge, Heather Blanchard will be conducting Access Testing for our ELL students. Testing will be done in the library; therefore, the library will be off limits during these specific dates until testing is completed:
Testing Dates - Updated Jan. 2, 2020 (subject to change if we have snow dates):
Practice Test: January 7th (Michael Wassef & Geovanni Bandilla)
January 8th & 9th: Marrielly Lugo: Alt Assessment
ACCESS online testing: January 13th, 14th & 15th (Geovanni Bandilla & Michael Wassef)
The practice test and online testing will take place in the library first thing in the morning. Mrs. Blanchard will pick students up for testing in their homerooms (We will make an announcement as soon as the library becomes free from testing - thank you)
