HES Shark Scoop

Field Day is just around the corner, and we need your help to make it extra fun and memorable for our students!

This year, we’re asking for sock donations to use in some of our Field Day games and activities. Socks can be new or used—as long as they’re clean. And yes, even those lonely, unmatched socks hiding in the back of your drawer can finally have their moment to shine!

Let’s give new life and purpose to those solo socks that have been waiting for their time to shine. Every donation helps, and our students will love the creative and silly games we have planned!

Donations can be sent in with students and dropped off in the collection box outside the gym, managed by Coach D.

Thank you for your support and for helping make Field Day a blast!

In order to create appropriate bus routes and stops, families are asked to complete the online Aspen transportation form by May 30, 2025. Click here to log into your family Aspen account, and select 'Start a new Bus Verification.' Please note that you must complete the form for each student.

Per the handbook, if your child is unable to attend school, please enter the absence in PickUp Patrol and/or call our designated attendance line, 617-848-0115, as early as possible. Soon after arrival, our office staff begins to call the caregivers of absent students if we haven't already heard from them. This is important, as we want to ensure that all students are safe. Your phone message with the reason for the absence is all we need. While an email to the teacher is helpful, it sometimes doesn't make its way to the office staff. Thank you for your help!

Many thanks to those who have already completed the MRSD parent/caregiver engagement survey! This brief anonymous survey will be used to assist us with future planning for parental involvement activities and events. If you haven't yet shared your feedback, we encourage you to do so before the survey closes June 1, 2025.
