If you love science, if biology rocks you, if chemistry intrigues you, it engineering is your jam, if physics rules, then come to the first science team meeting. You’ll be in good company. The meeting will be on Tuesday September 22, at 3 pm in the STEM Lab on the 2nd floor. We will go over what science team is all about, have some cookies and meet your fellow sciencephiles.

Masco is raising awareness of the impact that the death of a family member has on the life of a child or teen. This event will provide a space for them to show support and encouragement to others.

Staff and interns from The Children's Room (TCR) will be partnering with counseling staff from our school to host activities and an awareness table during lunch. Students who would like to participate will have the opportunity to anonymously represent anyone in their life who has died and/or write a message of support for peers.

We hope that this event may also be an opening for family discussion. Consider asking your student what they drew/wrote on their blue heart honoring or supporting someone. Share with them about the individuals your family remembers and the memories you hold.

The color for Grief Awareness Month is Blue. Please encourage your child to join us by wearing BLUE on September 24th. 2026 to show support for their friends & classmates who have experienced grief.

If you would like more information about ways to be supportive of a child/teen who is grieving, please click here.

Please feel free to contact The Children’s Room for information about grief support services available free of charge for children, teens, and families. Click here for the contact form.

Seniors participated in their Future Planning Seminar during their English classes. All seniors are encouraged to make an individual meeting with their Counselor about next steps in the post-secondary planning process.

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.
