We will be launching our 3rd annual Trebuchet Day on Monday, May 23. Our engineering students have been working diligently the past few weeks building their team trebuchet. The students will be transporting their trebuchets to school in the morning and preparing for the final assessment just after lunch time. The final assessment is to launch a water balloon from their trebuchet into a castle manned by their teacher(s). The grade earned is based upon the performance of their trebuchet. We have continued to augment the day by adding medieval poets and costumes. This year, our food services department has added some new items to commemorate the day.School Committee
The Billerica School Committee will be meeting Monday, May 23 at 6:00 p.m. at the Parker Elementary School. They will be recognizing the tremendous success of our DECA program under the leadership of John Magliozzi and Nancy Lydon.There will also be an update on the Building Project in preparation for the next Building Committee Meeting on Thursday, May 26 at 6:30 p.m. at Town Hall.
There are a number of important dates that will be shared including Student Awards' Night, Scholarship Night, and Graduation. There are a number of other important dates that are pertinent to our graduating class and their families which have been emailed and will be discussed below.
The Final Countdown (Class of 2016)
We met with the Senior Class on Friday to discuss the end of the year requirements and festivities. Seniors have been attempting to maintain focus during the last few weeks, but clearly the end is within reach. During our meeting we spoke about the importance of making good choices during this time of the year. Recognizing that making good choices is important for all students throughout the year, there are times, such as these, when the proclivity for risky behaviors is heightened. Our goal is to ensure that all of our students enjoy these final few weeks with classmates culminating with crossing the stage to receive their diploma. There are certain misbehaviors that could prevent a student from participating in the Graduation Ceremony. Any violation of the chemical health policy (alcohol and/or drugs) will prevent a student from participating as would any type of vandalism/disruption to the school day. Please reinforce these concerns with your child. The Graduation Exercise is always a significant event and the participation of all our students is what makes it special. I have included the Senior Bulletin as it contains all the relevant information regarding the final few weeks before Graduation.Class of 2016 Senior Bulletin
Student Awards
Tuesday, May 24 we will be hosting the Student Academic Awards. The program will begin at 7:00 p.m. in the Auditorium. This evening celebrates the academic success of our graduating seniors and some of our top rising seniors.Building Committee
The next Building Committee meeting is Thursday, May 26 at 6:30 p.m. at Town Hall. The test borings should be completed by this Tuesday allowing our geotechnical contractor to complete their soil analysis of the site for the new building. One of the major questions/concerns that arose during the discussion of the building's location was parking. This concern resonated with us because of the impact on our current staff and students. We have been working to address and mitigate to the best of our ability the loss of spots for staff, visitors, and students. Based upon our current schedule, parking will be impacted before the conclusion of the 2016-2017 school year, but we are working to minimize the impact as much as possible. Although I do not believe we will be able to maintain the same number of parking spots, we are hopeful that we can reduce the potential losses and potentially save some student parking moving forward.Monday, May 23, 2016
