The classes will be deeply discounted ($20/class, $30/both classes), thanks to a grant secured by Cooperative Public Health Service, the health district that supports all West County Boards of Health.
Students can receive an additional discount by using the following codes: STUDENT_CPR (for $10 CPR class), STUDENT_FIRSTAID (for $10 first aid class) or STUDENT_COMBINED (to take both classes for $15).
While these classes will take place at Mohawk Trail Regional School, this is NOT a school-sponsored activity.

See the poster below for more details!
AP Brault's Student Culture Corner
As I write this week’s edition of “Culture Corner,” I am watching snow come down and cause slipperiness on the roads. What a difference a couple days makes!
Two safety and security concerns:
Students are reminded to only use the front door when entering and exiting the building unless there is an emergency, such as a fire alarm sounding. This is for the safety and security of everyone. Students are also reminded to leave the middle school and high school doors off the lobby closed between 7:45 and 2:20 as they require a key fob for entrance to ensure that all visitors must pass through the main office before entering the rest of the building.
Bathrooms continue to be a challenge to maintain and keep the use to just their original intent. Students should spend as little time in the bathrooms as possible. “Hanging out” to avoid class (including Crew and Extensions which are considered class time) leads to destructive things happening and force the closure of bathrooms. Further, the single stall bathrooms are just that… one person at a time as indicated on the doors to these spaces.
If a student is anxious in class and needs a space to take a break, they should go to their guidance counselor’s office or the main office and we can help determine next steps. Hanging out in the bathroom where no one knows where they are is not safe and our counseling staff can help with strategies for less anxiety in the classroom.

Four Community Engagement Sessions Coming Right Up
April is the month BERK12 has scheduled 4 community engagement sessions.
Community engagement and voice are critical parts of the work currently underway in the Mohawk Trail and Hawlemont Regional School Districts. The goal of this work is to identify the best options for providing a high-quality education that prepares our students for future success in college, career, and life while considering educational and fiscal opportunities, challenges, and options.
We want to hear from a wide range of stakeholders. At these sessions, attendees will consider 5 questions: the Districts’ current strengths; the Districts’ current weaknesses; the things the Districts can’t live without; the things the community would like to see happen; and the ultimate vision for our Districts in 10 years. Your voice is foundational to informing the options to be considered.
To register for any of the sessions, scan the QR code, visit the calendar of events on the right-hand side of the https://www.2districts8towns.org/ landing page, click the specific date links below, or send an email to BERK12 contact Mary Nash at mnash3@gmail.com.

Teaching and Learning
MCAS Testing
Grade 7 ELA MCAS took place earlier this week and Grade 8 will have MCAS next week and I wanted to remind everyone about MCAS testing in general. This information has previously been shared in the weekly newsletter.
MCAS tests are required by state and federal law and are an important tool to promote student success and educational equity. Passing MCAS in grade 10 is a graduation requirements in Massachusetts. Students educated with Massachusetts public funds are required by federal laws and the 1993 Massachusetts Education Reform Law, state law M. G. L. Chapter 69, section 1I, to participate in statewide testing.
Why does testing matter?
Before education reform and statewide testing in the 1990s, Massachusetts students too often graduated from high school without the basic reading and math skills needed to succeed in life.
Today, Massachusetts students are #1 in the country in reading and math. So how did this happen? In the early '90s, the state passed a law that included high learning standards, consistent funding, more choices for families, and accountability for how well students are being served. Part of that act included statewide assessments to make sure schools are reaching all students.
When scores show students are not meeting basic learning standards, schools and districts can adjust instruction to address those areas. In addition, parents and the public can ask questions and ensure educators are taking action.
Statewide testing helps parents check their child's and school's progress and lets taxpayers know if they are getting a good return on the tax money they invest in schools.
Statewide assessments also help the state know where to focus its efforts, whether that be on individual struggling schools or wide subject areas, like early reading or middle school math. Without testing, those needs would remain hidden.
State test scores are just one piece of a student's academic picture, but they are important information.
MCAS participation rate also impacts a the rating of a school. Please see our latest district and school report card.
Who will test?
High school students in the class of 2026 (10th graders) must take and pass the MCAS tests in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics to earn a high school diploma, in addition to meeting local requirements. Students in the class of 2027 (9th graders) will take tests in ELA and mathematics next year, and they are also required to take and pass a test in science and technology/engineering (they will take or have already taken the science test this year). Students will have opportunities to retest if they do not pass.
The high school MCAS tests also provide the opportunity for students to qualify for several state awards. These include the John and Abigail Adams Scholarship and the Stanley Z. Koplik Certificate of Mastery.
In addition, MCAS test results will:
give information about areas of learning that the pandemic has most impacted,
provide important data on which students, schools, and districts have been most affected by pandemic-related changes in schooling, and
improve understanding of your child’s knowledge and skills in relation to the state’s learning standards, so that we can provide the best system of support and instruction in future years
Schedule & Parent Information
Please be aware of the schedule. It can be found, HERE
For parents/guardians who are interested in learning more about the tests themselves, DESE has put together a number of useful resources here. Student expectations during testing are explained here.
Grade Level and Tests
- Grade 10 - ELA and MATH & SCIENCE (taken in G9) - Computer-Based Testing (CBT)
- Grade 8 - ELA, MATH, Science & Civics Field Test CBT
- Grade 7 - ELA & MATH CBT
Information about the new Grade 8 Civics field test this year
In addition to MCAS tests in English language arts, mathematics, and science, your child will also participate in an MCAS grade 8 civics field test.
In order to administer a new grade 8 civics test in the future, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education must try out new test questions before the test becomes operational and scores can provided to parents, schools, and districts. Your child’s participation is important and allows the state to build a valid and reliable test. It is important that all selected students participate in the field test to ensure a representative sample of students from across the state.
Staff will be reviewing expectations and supporting students with the testing process in preparation for the respective tests later in the term. This includes familiarity with the testing technology and looking at past papers.
Chromebooks
Students in grade 7 will use the devices in their classrooms. Grade 8-10 will use their school issued Chromebooks. A limited number of spare devices will be available for student use on the day of the test.
Day of the test
Please make sure that students have slept well prior to coming to school. Breakfast will continue to be available for all students at MTRS.
After Testing
The vast majority of tests are scheduled from 8 - 10 am. This is followed by a lunch break. Students are expected to remain in school for the remainder of the day. It is important that students are able to take advantage of what little time remains in person for the rest of the year. Staff will adjust lessons to account for students taking a test earlier in the day.
Please email or call your student’s counselor if you have any questions or concerns.

Art Teens
Spring session starts soon!
ARTeens is a pay-what-you-can after school program for teens that love to make art! Spring session begins April 23rd. Online applications due April 12th or until the program is full.
ARTeens is a weekly after school program at The Art Garden in Shelburne Falls open to middle and high school teens (ages 12-19) who are interested in making art. Our spring sessions are offered on either Tuesdays or Thursdays. Applicants choose which day works best for their schedules. The sessions run for seven weeks starting the week of April 23rd and ending with an area wide teen art exhibit on June 8th.
The program runs from after school until 6pm. The Art Garden provides healthy snacks, a wide variety of art supplies, demonstrations of different art techniques or materials, exposure to contemporary artists, weekly art prompts, and time for teens to explore their own ideas.
ARTeens is facilitated by artists Jane Beatrice Wegscheider and Laura Iveson. Teens cultivate an art practice in The Art Garden’s supportive, intergenerational studio with an emphasis on personal responsibility and self-direction. Teens explore and critique the world around them, develop their own voices, and share their ideas. ARTeens offers a sense of community while nurturing uniqueness and engagement in a diverse and non-judgmental group.
The ARTeens program is made possible, in part, by a YouthReach grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council. The program's full cost is $350 for the 7 week session, but it is a pay-what-you-can program. We don't require any income qualifiers and no one is ever turned away due to lack of funds. Your family decides what amount is right for them but are expected to contribute something because every contribution helps make the program possible.
Many teens participate in multiple sessions for many years and have opportunities to work as assistants or mentors in other Art Garden programs or volunteer in the Art Garden’s community art events.
Applications are available online at https://www.theartgarden.org/for-teens
For more information go to theartgarden.org.

Notes from the Nurse
Covid-19 updates...
Dear parents/guardians;
Throughout the Covid-19 Pandemic, our districts have followed the guidelines set forth to us by the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the MA Department of Public Health (MDPG), and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), in order to keep our school community safe and minimize the spread of illness.
At the beginning of March, the CDC announced new guidelines which no longer required a full five days of isolation following a positive Covid-19 case but continued to offer guidelines in order to mitigate the spread of illness. Earlier this week, MDPH and DESE officially updated their guidelines as well, including guidelines for schools.
What this means for you:
New symptoms of a respiratory virus
For a fever, or moderate to severe sore throat, cough, or a runny/stuffy nose, stay home and stay away from others in your household and/or mask when you need to be around them.
Highly encouraged to test for Covid-19 and flu
May return to normal activities if fever free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medicines AND other symptoms are improving.
Use good cough/sneeze etiquette as well as washing hands frequently.
Test positive for a respiratory virus with no symptoms or very mild symptoms
For at least the first 5 days, take these extra precautions:
Avoid crowded indoor spaces. Wear a mask anytime indoors and around other people.
Use good cough/sneeze etiquette as well as washing hands frequently with soap and water (preferred) or hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol.
Avoid spending time with people who are at increased risk for severe disease.
Although not required, choosing to stay home for about 72 hours may help reduce the chances that you spread the virus to others.
To read the full recommendations you can use this link: MDPH respiratory viruses guidelines
Please email with any questions or concerns to dweber@mtrsd.org
Sincerely,
Donna Weber, MSN, BSN, RN
MTRS/HRS District Nurse Leader
