For Your Information and Action
Hidden in Plain Sight Exhibit: The second floor conference room is off limits next week due to an interactive exhibit being offered to the community called Hidden in Plain Sight. Staff members are welcome to visit the exhibit, but students are not allowed. Hidden in Plain Sight is an interactive exhibit designed to be a mock bedroom to show where teens may be hiding drug and alcohol paraphernalia. During the week of January 28 through January 31, Hampshire Regional will host this exhibit from the South Shore Youth Health Connection from noon-8pm on Monday, 8am through 8pm Tuesday and Wednesday and during the school day on Thursday and Friday. Adults can make an appointment to visit this exhibit to learn about spotting signs of risky behavior by participating in this doodle appointment creator. The exhibit is only available to adults.

Reminders
Discipline Referrals: The Discipline Referral forms are linked here. Please fill out a major behavior discipline referral if you would like admin involved in a student issue. Fill out a minor behavior discipline referral to track behaviors so that we can identify trends and issues with individual students and school-wide. Either way, please call or email parents when you submit either type of referral.
Calling Out Sick: When calling out for a sub, please call out before 8pm the night before (if possible) or as early the next morning--before 6am--as possible. The earlier the better so we can get subs into classrooms.
