happy thanksgiving!
As we close out quarter 1, I encourage you to check in with your student and discuss any adjustments that need to be made based on their performance. Remember that tutoring is available, free of charge, before and after school in the library. Please contact Ms. Trenholm, Mr. Ullian, or Ms. Boudreau for more details.
Next week is a short week with Wednesday being a half-day (12:30 dismissal). We will be having a pep rally on Wednesday to celebrate all the fall activities. Students may choose to spend the time in the auditorium if they prefer a quieter space.
If you plan to dismiss your student early on Wednesday, please do so by calling the attendance office before 11:00 am at (617)926-7730.
Watertown High School Fall Play
Come one and all to our Watertown High School Fall Play! The WHS Players will be putting on Get Smart. In this comedy, Agent Smart is off on a bizarre new case in which he must stop the sinister organization known as KAOS from their most shameful plot. Their plan this time is to prove their power by blowing up the Statue of Liberty! This is too much, and Smart springs—perhaps we should say stumbles—into action.
Directed by Robin Wilson, come and enjoy our first live play performance of the season!

Youth Risk behavior Survey
The Massachusetts Departments of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and Public Health (DPH) will use the MYHS and MYRBS results to (1) determine the extent to which adolescents practice health-risk behaviors; (2) monitor how priority health-risk behaviors among high school students increase, decrease, or remain the same over time; (3) evaluate the impact of state and local efforts to reduce high-risk behaviors; (4) develop and redesign comprehensive health education programs and other strategies to help reduce risk behaviors (5) monitor progress of intensive projects in select districts and communities.
