April 10th, 2026

Good afternoon!

It’s hard to believe we had snow on Tuesday… I’ll admit, I may have shed a tear! That said, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that spring is finally on its way. The forecast looks promising, and we’re all ready for some sunshine and warmer days ahead.

This week’s memo includes the end-of-year calendar to help families plan accordingly. As always, the final stretch of the school year is a busy one, and we want to make sure everyone has the key dates on their radar. Additionally I have attached the 2026 Finals testing schedule.

Thank you for your continued support, and here’s hoping the next update is filled with nothing but sunshine!

Have a great weekend,
Brenda

NEED A MHS CHOIR TEACHER!!!

Pentucket MHS is in need of a Choir teacher from now until the end of the school year. Please email berhardt@prsd.org

Seniors and Senior Families Please read!

While the school does not sponsor or support games such as “Senior Assassin,” we recognize that students may choose to participate outside of school. If so, this participation must not occur on school property or at any school-sponsored events, and all choices must prioritize safety and respect for others. We ask students to be mindful of how their actions may affect others and the school community as a whole.

Similarly, while senior pranks are often viewed as a tradition, they can sometimes lead to unintended consequences that compromise safety or disrupt the school day. We ask that students avoid activities that could create these concerns.

If students are interested in planning something fun or positive to celebrate their senior year, we encourage them to work with a building principal and their class advisor so we can support an idea that is safe, inclusive, and enjoyable for everyone.

What is the Pentucket Senior Celebration?

The PPA hosts an annual, substance-free, all-night celebration for graduating seniors. This beloved tradition—typically attended by over 85% of the class—keeps our graduates safe while they celebrate together one last time.

Students are bussed to surprise venues throughout the night. Past highlights include:

Harbor cruises and comedy shows
Dances and restaurant stops
Hypnotist shows, prizes, and keepsakes
