To lay a strong, informed foundation for our district and in an effort to honor as many family perspectives as possible, I invite you to share your feedback through this survey. Insights from the survey will directly inform how we shape our collective work and guide the formal Entry Plan that I look forward to sharing broadly with the community and presenting at a future School Committee meeting.

The survey will remain open until September 30th, I hope that you will take some time to share your perspective with me.

SENIORS! Halloween is fast approaching which means it is time for the Halloween Dance! The dance will take place here at Masco on October 22 in the small café from 7-9:00pm.

See you there!

You can now use this link to register for our newly approved High School Unified Basketball Team (grades 9-12)!

What is Unified Basketball?

An MIAA Unified Basketball team is a co-educational high school sports team that brings students with intellectual disabilities ("athletes") and without intellectual disabilities ("partners") together on the same court to train and compete. Run in partnership with Special Olympics Massachusetts through the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association, these programs focus on meaningful inclusion, sportsmanship, and skill development.

The season runs from the end of September through November 12. We play 4 games in October and end with an end-of-season jamboree at Danvers HS on November 12.

This link can also be found in two locations on our web site using this link (HS Extracurricular Activities/Activity Forms or MS Extracurricular Activities/Masco Excels).

Families can also use this link to register for all other clubs/activities.

If you wish to take the SAT on a Saturday, please register directly through the CollegeBoard.

Obtaining A Work Permit: Minors (Ages 14-17)

In order to receive a work permit, the first step is to complete a permit application once a job offer has been obtained.

The application can be accessed here.

Once both pages are completed, the student can drop off the application to the high school Registrar, Kristy Jennings, within the School Counseling Office. The application is used to type up the actual work permit.

To obtain a learner's permit, driver's license, or REAL ID in Massachusetts, you will need to provide proof of Massachusetts residency from the school you are enrolled at.

The Registrar can provide you with an official high school transcript and/or proof of residency letter in a sealed envelope.

To access the Records Release Form, please click here.

Parents/Caregivers of Freshman: Save the Date! On Tuesday, November 17th, the Masco Counselors will host an informational coffee event at 8am in the High School Library. Details will be emailed as the date approaches.

Moving To A New Address?

If your family has moved or is moving to a new address within the Tri-Town, please remember to submit updated residency documentation to the school as soon as possible. This is necessary to keep our records current and to comply with district residency requirements.

Please view our Proof of Residency required documents.

Updated residency documents can be submitted to the Registrar, Kristy Jennings, at kjennings@masconomet.org.
