Mohegan Update 11/6
November 6th, 2026
MUSTANGS READ TOGETHER
This week we finished reading Charlotte’s Web and had a fantastic family night on Thursday. Students (and parents) enjoyed making catapults, spider webs, and petting real pigs! I want to thank all the staff and the high school volunteers who helped set up, run and clean up all the events. Special thank you to Lacey Hebert, our Reading Specialist, for coordinating the entire program. Please see some of the pictures below.
VETERANS DAY
Mohegan School will be having a Veterans Day Ceremony on Tuesday, November 10th at 2PM. Veterans may sign up to attend our ceremony. We ask that Veterans arrive prior to 1:45 so we can review the ceremony with them. Veterans will also have an opportunity to go to classrooms and speak with the students if they want. If you have a family member who would like to come in and be a part of the ceremony and speak to the class of his/her family member, please sign up here. Please sign up by Friday, November 6th.
All students are asked to wear Red, White and Blue on November 10th for the Veterans Day ceremony.
All students received a small poster they can make for a Veteran in their family. The poster can be for any Veteran in their family, living or deceased. They can include a real picture or draw one if they don’t have a photo of the Veteran. Please return these posters to school by Monday, November 9th. All posters will be returned to the students so you get your pictures back.

We have afternoon Parent Teacher Conferences on November 11th from 2:30pm-5:00pm. Please contact your child’s teacher if you have not yet signed up.

VISION OF A GRADUATE
Shelton Public Schools has adopted their Vision of a Graduate (VOG). These 6 attributes are what we expect all Shelton students to have when they graduate from high school. At Mohegan School, we want to show students that these are attributes that we can demonstrate throughout our academic years and beyond. Every month we will focus on a different attribute.
October’s attribute was: EMPATHY.
Teachers nominated one student per class who best exemplifies Empathy. See the newsletter with the pictures here.
November’s attribute is: Collaboration -to work with others, share ideas, and help my team succeed.
