MCAS Biology
The freshmen class will be participating in the MCAS Biology assessment on Wednesday June 1 and Thursday June 2. The assessments are scheduled to take place from 7:15 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. each day. However, students may take additional time if needed as the MCAS assessments are untimed. Please remind your students of the importance of these assessments and a reminder that this assessment is now counted towards the eligibility for the John and Abigail Adams Scholarship upon graduation. Please make every effort to ensure your child arrives on time on these days.
Scheduling Update
The Coordinators and Guidance Department have been working diligently to develop the master schedule for the 2016-2017 school year. Our goal is to have the students' schedules in their hands (available through Aspen) the week before final exams. This will allow them time to review and schedule time with their guidance counselors before the summer break mitigating major concerns when school opens in the fall.Clothing Drive
The Billerica Memorial High School's Winter Guard wants to help you clean out your closet. This June 4 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. please consider donating your used clothing to support our Winter Guard. The collection site will be in front of Town Hall. If you have any questions, please email Diana at diandbud@aol.com
The Seniors Return to the Elementary Beginnings
The graduating Class of 2016 will be returning to their elementary schools this Friday, June 3 at 9 a.m. to meet their first teachers that helped them begin their educational journey in Billerica. Their elementary teachers will be welcoming the graduates with some breakfast and stories of their younger days. This is open to all graduating seniors and their return will make the graduation season extra special for their elementary teachers.
Class Day
Senior Prom
The Senior Class will be celebrating their senior prom at the Danversport Yacht Club on Friday, June 3 from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Just a reminder that all students entering the prom will be breathalyzed and may not leave until 10;30 p.m. unless we have direct communication with their parents.Class of 2016 Senior Bulletin
Scholarship Awards
Wednesday, June 1 we will be hosting the annual Scholarship Awards Night. The program will begin at 7:00 p.m. in the Auditorium. The Billerica Scholarship Foundation will be handing out almost $100,000 to graduating seniors pursuing their post secondary plans in the fall. We will be coordinating the evening a little differently than in the past. You would have received a sneak preview if you attended the Student Academic Awards. Billerica Access Television will be recorded and broadcasting the awards ceremony for the first time. We are asking that student recipients sit on the left hand side of the auditorium to help with the orchestration of the evening. If you are presenting an award we ask that you check in backstage as you have in the past.
Building Committee
The next Building Committee meeting is Thursday, May 26 at 6:30 p.m. at Town Hall. The test borings have been completed 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.MIAA Tournament Time
The MIAA playoffs for the spring season will begin this week with Billerica well represented. The Boys' and Girls' Lacrosse teams will begin play by hosting their opening game at Calabrese Stadium at the Marshall Middle School. The Boys' and Girls' Outdoor Track teams will be competing in the All State Meet this weekend at Westfield High School. The baseball and softball teams are still waiting for the selection committee to complete the pairings this Tuesday. Both teams should begin opening round play this week.Monday, May 30, 2016
