Student Support Updates
Students and families who need one-on-one assistance with the FAFSA (and CSS profile), can make an appointment with Mr. Wong, who is a volunteer specialist who can assist with the completion of these forms. Mr. Wong is here every Thursday from 10 am until 2:30 pm - students can sign up for upcoming sessions on a clipboard in the Student Support Office.
College Visits are occurring every day, here in Student Support. This week we have Lasell University, Salem State University, Boston College, and Loyola University, Maryland. Students can sign up on Naviance to attend these visits.
Student Support, in collaboration with Walker Therapy, has organized an After-School group called Living Out Loud (LOL), where students will learn about problem-solving, team-building activities, self-care, and reflection. Students are still welcome to join - it meets on Tuesdays at 2:45 pm.
AP fees and contracts are due November 6th and must be paid ASAP. Students must pay cash and can pay Mr. DeCristofaro, Ms. Gao, or Mrs. MacDougall in student support. All are required to take AP exams in order to receive credit for the course, and additional fees will be added if students do not pay for their exams by the final due dates.
134 Senior students receiving the John and Abigail Adams Scholarship will be recognized at a special ceremony on Friday, November 17, at 9 am in the Peter J. Chrisom Auditorium at NQHS.
Student Support will be running a Field Trip to Merrimack College on Wednesday, December 6, 2023. Senior and junior students can sign up via Google form and collect a permission slip from Mr. DeCristofaro. A maximum of 40 students can attend, so it is on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Bridgewater State University will attend NQHS for an Instant Decision Day on Wednesday, December 13th. Students can sign up using the Google form which can be found on the Student Support Class of 2024 Google Classroom.

John and Abigail Adams Scholarships
Congratulations to the 135 NQHS Seniors who will receive the John and Abigail Adams Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded by the Department of Education and is given to the top 25% of students in a district based on MCAS scores. Each recipient will get a tuition-based scholarship if they attend a Massachusetts state institution. We are so proud!
