MAYNARD HIGH SCHOOL
TIGER TALK -- NOTES FROM THE PRINCIPALS' OFFICE
All students in grades 9-12 are invited to join the Student Advisory Committee (SAC). The SAC is a group of students who actively advise the principals, the superintendent, and the Maynard School Committee. If you want to shape the future of MHS, and make the school even better for all students, this is the committee for you!
Each Tuesday, the group meets during a different academic block (if that teacher allows). Each week, we discuss student concerns and questions. Administrators also often ask the committee for feedback on their plans. Another important SAC responsibility is writing the Student Report, which is an important part of every School Committee meeting.
If you are looking to get involved in a group that meets during the school day, and that really makes a difference, please consider joining SAC! Look for an email during the first days of school, let Mrs. York or Ms. Doktorov know you are interested, or ask your D Block teacher if you can join us in the Principals' Conference Room on Tuesday, September 2!
Interested students (and their families) are encouraged to attend the first WAVM meeting of the school year. Mr. Basile, the CEO's, and the staff will explain how the station works, the various trainings being offered, and much more. The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 3, at 7:00 PM, in the Auditorium.
As you read through our calendar, you may have noticed a new entry for "Tiger Days". This school year, the MHS faculty is piloting a special schedule once in every seven-day rotation. These days will be used for many purposes:
- Advisory (our regular Advisory that we know and love)
- Class Meetings
- Vision of the Graduate Portfolio
- Special Assemblies
- Extra Help/Study Hall
Rather than missing class time, we will now have a special time in place for these activities, and more. This is just a pilot, so be ready to give us feedback about whether it is working! Check your first day of school packet for Tiger Day plans and schedules.
There is no high school tradition quite like Homecoming! We are planning a full weekend of home games, kicked off by a pep rally and a Friday evening dance for the students. We hope that everyone in the Maynard High School community comes out to support our Tigers!!! Let's Gooooo!!!!!
The mission of the Maynard Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC) is to work for the understanding of, respect for, and support of all children with special needs in the community.
Maynard SEPAC works in collaboration with MPS community members to:
· Promote a network of parents and forums to share information
· Advise the school district on special education programs, training needs, and policy
· Promote communication between PAC members; local, state and national organizations, councils and groups
· Promote understanding, acceptance, and inclusion within the community
· Provide informational forums for parents, students, educators, and professionals
Joining is easy - any community member who attends a SEPAC meeting or event during the year is considered a voting member. There are many ways to contribute and we will work with you to identify something that works with your schedule and responsibilities.
