MHS Family Update
Preparing students for success in an ever-changing world.
Hello Mustang Nation,
I hope you and your family are enjoying a wonderful, relaxing, and fun-filled summer! It is a true honor to join Massabesic High School as your new Principal, and I am thrilled to partner with you to support our students as they prepare for a fantastic school year.
Behind the scenes, our staff is busy updating our school, finalizing schedules and classes, and getting everything ready for a smooth start to the fall. As we gear up for the year, my priority is getting to know each of our students, families, and community members. I’ll be in the office throughout the summer and attending many of our upcoming fall events, including open house (August 27th) and athletic games. If you see me around, please don’t hesitate to stop by and say hello as I would love to meet you and learn more about your family!
Wishing you a fantastic rest of your summer, and I look forward to connecting with you soon!
Warm wishes,
Mrs. Penney
Once you complete the Annual Verification process in ParentVue, your student's schedule will be available. To view all Green and White day classes, make sure to select Class Schedule and Semester 1.
Any changes to class schedules can be completed during the Add/Drop period during the first 2 weeks of school.
Please note, the ParentVue app has recently been updated. Please ensure you are using the latest version (icon shown to the right) or access ParentVue directly online.
Registration for all Fall Athletic programs at Massabesic Middle School and Massabesic High School is now open!
Please utilize the link below to register. Please note that in addition to the registration form, all student athletes must have a valid sports physical on file with the health department before they may participate.
Before registering for athletic programs, you must complete the annual student verification through ParentVue. You will be unable to select any co-curricular activities until this is completed.
High School programs will begin on Monday, August 17th, while Middle School programs will begin on Thursday, September 3rd.
If you have any questions regarding the registration process or the upcoming, please reach out to Alex McCormack-Kuhman.
Here is some information to help you as you complete your community service hours needed for graduation!
Question: How many community service hours are required for graduation?
Answer: Twenty-five (25) hours, but often students turn in many more hours than that. If a student turns in one hundred (100) or more hours, they are honored during their high school graduation week for their citizenship during high school.
Question: How does a student document the hours of community service?
Answer: MHS has a community service form that students can have signed by an adult who supervised when the community service hours were completed.
Question: Can my parents sign my community service form?
Answer: No. Another adult present who can verify that the community service was completed needs to sign the form.
Question: When should I turn in the community service hour form?
Answer: MHS would recommend turning in the form after completing the activity, but if it is a recurring volunteer experience, logging the accumulated hours on one sheet is fine, turning the sheet into the Massabesic High School guidance office every two or three months. Please note that community service hours need to be turned in within four months of the date of service.
Question: If I am struggling to turn in a paper form, can I email the form?
Answer: Yes! You can email the form to allisonellis@rsu57.org
Question: Where can I find the Community Service form?
Answer: In the MHS Guidance Office or online HERE.
Question: I want to be sure I understand. Where do I turn in the community service form?
Answer: The Massabesic High School guidance office!
This SAT question is one many high school students and their parents are asking these days especially if the student will be a senior during this school year. Below are a few things to consider when deciding if a student should take the SAT this summer or early in the fall of senior year.
Is your child planning to apply to a 4-year or a 1 or 2-year college program?
If your child is applying to a 1 or 2-year college program, it is very unlikely that taking the SAT will be needed. They can take the SAT but likely will not need it for college admissions.
If you child is considering a 4-year program, does your child have several colleges in mind to which they plan to apply?
If your child knows the colleges to which they want to apply, checking out those colleges' admission requirements on each college's webpage is advised. Many colleges do not currently require standardized testing for admissions. Thus, many high school students today do not need to take the SAT.
If a student does not know where they plan to apply for college, is the student looking at
more "selective" colleges?
If the student is looking at colleges that are more selective (in other words, colleges that have a lower acceptance rate such as MIT, Cornell, and Dartmouth) more than likely (although not guaranteed) some college the student applies to will want to see an SAT test score.
If the student is looking at colleges that are less selective (for example, University of Maine or Husson), the student will likely not need an SAT score when applying. But checking admission requirements is always a good idea!
If you are interested in taking the SAT, please note the test dates and registration deadlines below. For more information, please reach out to your guidance counselor.
