Blue Hills News
Dear Blue Hills Families,
It has been a busy week at Blue Hills!
Last Friday, we held our first Prom since 2019 at the Venezia in Boston. It was a wonderful night, with beautiful weather and a harbor view! Many thanks to Ms. Barley for organizing and planning a great event!
Monday, we hosted the MVADA Track Meet, with over 500 competitors! It was a massive event and a great afternoon! Enzo even helped out providing some comfort to tired athletes!
Tuesday night, DVC held their annual Art Show with approximately 200 in attendance. Ms. Murphy and Ms. Wayland did a wonderful job organizing and the student work was incredible!
Thursday, our cafeteria was packed for Senior Awards Night as a large number of our Class of 2022 received scholarships and awards from a number of generous donors. Great job to our entire guidance department, and especially Ms. Driscoll, for their hard work in putting the program together.
Today marks Field Day, an annual Senior tradition. This afternoon, seniors enjoyed fun, games, and pizza on the upper field.
Check out the pictures from these events below. Next week, we cap off a month of celebration with the National Honor Society Induction Ceremony, and Graduation is just a few weeks away!

Previous Information/Reminders
Attendance Reminders
First, we want to continue to stay home if sick. Any absence that is documented as quarantine or covid-related will be listed as "excused" in X2. None of these absences will count this year toward student attendance. Most of these absences have already been labeled as excused in X2. When you log into X2, click on "My Info" and "Attendance." Here, you will be able to see your attendance for the year. Excused absences are those that are related directly to the pandemic.
That being said, it is crucial that students are present in school whenever possible. Our attendance policy allows students 15 absences per year. At 16 absences, students are required to go to summer school. Extended absences of 2 consecutive days or more are "reduced" to count as one day upon receipt of a doctor's note. For example: a student who is out for five days with the flu will only be charged one absence upon receipt of a doctor's note. Extenuating circumstances, such as deaths in the family, may also be considered by the Academic Review Board at the end of the school year.
For complete information on the attendance policy, please visit the Parent-Student Handbook. You can find the attendance information beginning on page 12.
If you have questions regarding your attendance, please contact your guidance counselor.
At-Home Covid Testing
Many of you have successfully signed up for the voluntary at-home Covid testing program. You may continue to sign up anytime and pick up tests in the main office.
- When the at-home tests arrive, students will be notified that they are available for pickup in the Main Office.
- A letter detailing the plan is attached below.
- The optional opt-in form is found on Family ID: Click here.
