Thanksgiving Food Drive October 20th - November 17th
The Heart of Our Mission At the heart of our Thanksgiving Food Drive mission is to ensure that every family in our community can experience the warmth and joy of a traditional holiday meal.

Message from the Middle School Health Office
Screening Notification
Dear Parents and Guardians,
In accordance with Massachusetts General Law (M.G.L. c. 71, § 57 and § 97) and Department of Public Health regulations (105 CMR 200.000), schools are required to provide vision, hearing, body mass index (BMI), postural, and Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) health screenings to our students.
The purpose of these screenings is to identify potential health problems that may interfere with a student's ability to learn or well-being and to encourage early detection and follow-up care by your child's primary healthcare provider. Parents/guardians will be notified if a referral is necessary.
In October, we will begin our annual health screenings.
Students in grades 6 and 8 will be provided postural screening.
Students in grade 7 will be provided vision, hearing, body mass index (BMI), postural, and Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT).
*All Parents and Guardians have the right to opt their child out of any of the screenings by submitting a written request. Please submit your opt out request to your school nurse.
