Lisa Portolese, our fantastic Data Information Systems Manager, will close Aspen from July 10 - August 17. This is to allow us to run the state reports we need to run and to build the schedule for next year. The only action needed by you is to get report cards and assessments before July 10th. Having written that, if you do need anything when Aspen is closed, just reach out to me, and I will help you get what you need.

This information will be posted to our website by the end of next week as well:

• Summer reading for students entering Grade 6
• Summer reading for students entering Grades 7 and 8
• There is no summer work for math.

1. Check in with your child's current teacher.
2. If--after communicating with the teacher--you would like to override the recommendation, please reach out to the appropriate department chair: Jon Fortin for Math (jfortin@cohassetk12.org) and Karen McInnis for ELA (kmcinnis@cohassetk12.org). After a conversation, they will be able to share a simple course override request form if you still feel that an override is appropriate.

The deadline for this two-step process is 11:59pm on June 30th.

This year, the Cohasset Education Foundation funded 16 new grants that enhanced vibrant learning experiences and spaces across our schools - and your support made it all possible. As we celebrate the CHS Class of 2026 and all that was accomplished as a district, we invite you to follow the CEF on social media (FB: Cohasset Education Foundation, Instagram: @cohasseteducationfoundation) to see grants in action and witness first-hand the creativity and curiosity that they inspire every day. With the CEF Fund year closing on June 30, 2026, there is still time to make a gift that will empower innovative learning experiences for Cohasset students in the year ahead. Please visit CohassetEducation.org to donate. Together, we are shaping what is possible for every child in our schools.

Please join me in extending a deep feeling of gratitude for everything the CEF has done to support CPS this year.
