Students in Intro to Medical Science attended their bi-weekly field trip to PROEMS where they learned various medical skills from a local paramedic. Students practiced CPR, proper use of an AED, and intubations as well as conducted a medical case study on a simulation patient.

Yesterday was our annual THINK PINK day! We use this day as an opportunity to raise funds to support the Breast Cancer Treatment Center at Dana Farber Cancer Institute for their ongoing research and patient care. Our Pride Committee raised $430 this year.

The Watertown SEPAC invites everyone to attend a training on: Basic Rights: The IEP presented by Federation for Children with Special Needs on Wednesday, November 1st from 6:30 -8:30 PM on zoom.

Coffee with the Principal is back again this year! This is a time for families to have an open discussion with a light agenda. Example discussion topics include updates on our new building, general student questions, and how to get involved with WHS events. In order to accommodate all, please submit your vote for your preferred meeting time here. This is an in-person event at the Moxley high school with light refreshments and bagels.

All students are permitted to wear their spooky costumes to school on Halloween! Remember that costumes must be school appropriate and adhere to the WHS dress code. There should be no costumes with full face masks or weapons.

If your student missed picture day or would like to retake their student photo they can do so on November 3rd. No prior registration is required. Photos will be taken in the media center.

Quarter 1 will end on November 8th and Quarter 2 will begin on November 9th. Quarter 1 report cards and honor roll certificates will be distributed on November 17th during advisory.

We know there are a lot of changes at WHS for you and your student. As promised in the beginning of the school year, we are committed to connecting with every family of our 765 students to hear your concerns. This is a huge undertaking, but one we are excited to embark on and one we feel you and your student deserve. You should expect a call coming from the high school sometime within the next three weeks. Don't worry, you're student isn't in trouble, we're calling to briefly ask you how things are going at Moxley. Because these calls are being done by an army of volunteers (teachers, admin, coaches, interns) they will be spread throughout all times of the day. If you miss our call and have nothing to share, no need to call us back. But, if you miss us and want to express a concern or tell us how well things are going, please feel free to call us at 617-926-7760 or complete this form with your information and we will get back to you as soon as we can. As always, the bottom of every smore has a link to give us feedback on how we're doing as a school. It is critical that we hear from you if you have suggestions on how we can do better.

Reminder: ONLY students in grade 11 and 12 may leave campus during lunch, if they are in good standing and sign out using the QR code. ONLY students in grade 12 have open campus during studies. All students in grades 9 and 10 must stay on campus all the time (freshman and sophmores don't have studies).

We would like to take a second to clarify and reiterate our school-wide attendance policies.

Study halls & Absent Teachers:

Students who's teachers are absent should report to the middle school lower gym unless it is during L block. If the student does not sign in, the student will be marked absent and will not be allowed to request a change from absent to present after class is over.

Tardy:

If a student arrives after 8:30 AM, they will be marked tardy and/or absent by their teacher. Students must visit the attendance office in the main office before reporting to their scheduled class. If they do not sign in with attendance, they will be marked absent. If the student is marked absent, a call will go home to notify the family of the absence.

Absent:

If your student is not coming to school, you can either call the attendance office or submit the online absence form here. If your student has an excused absence because of a doctor's appointment, they must bring their doctor's note with them to school the next day or email the note to our attendance office.

Dismissals:

If your student is leaving school early for any reason, you can either call the attendance office or submit the online form. If this is an excused dismissal, notes must be submitted by the student in person or via email to the attendance office.
