Seniors - time to clean up your digital footprint...

Seniors (and underclass people too,)

I just read an interesting article about college admissions officers searching applicants social media profiles. Don't panic - just start thinking about what you post and start to clean up your digital footprint. If you need help on this, see Mrs. Cicchetti - she's an expert.

Traumatic day for everyone

I know I speak for many of us as we absorb the impact of what's happened over the past few days. As a school leader one of my primary concerns has been about the safety of members of our community following the violence on Monday. I know that one of our staff members was near the blasts but by-in-large she's ok save the trauma she went through. One of our students was in the grandstands but apparently he's unharmed but quite shaken

We stand ready as a school to support students and staff who may have experienced traumas associated with the violence. I urge parents to contact counselors this week via email to let us know if their child is experiencing difficulty on any level.

Please let me know how I can help.
