School Council

The Molin School needs two parent volunteers to participate on the Molin School Council.

A school council in Massachusetts is a representative committee that works together on the School Improvement Plan and the school budgets. The council is made up of parents, teachers, and community members. If you are interested, please email Principal Rossi at: trossi@newburyport.k12.ma.us. Thank you!

Molin School Adjustment Counselors

We have two school adjustment counselors, Maggie Flaherty and Siobhan Green, who work collaboratively and loop by grade level. Working closely with families and teaching staff, our goal is to support the social-emotional and academic development of students as they navigate the school environment with increasing independence. The Molin Counseling department has many parent/caregiver resources that can be found at the Molin Counseling Site. Please see the attached document regarding our SAC work.

Newburyport High School Fall Buddy Ball

What is Buddy Ball? Similar to Unified Sports, Buddy Ball is an inclusive sports program where kids of all abilities can participate in a NHS Varsity practice. Our goal is to create a fun experience that promotes inclusion and respect among youth athletes of all abilities. See attached document for more information.

Student Handbook & Acknowledgement Form: Molin 25-26 Handbook

Please review the Molin Student Handbook on our website, and complete the Parent/Guardian Acknowledgement Form by September 30th. This form allows you to confirm your understanding of each section and let us know if you have any questions. Your partnership in reviewing and understanding these policies helps us provide a safe, consistent, and supportive environment for all students. Thank you for your attention to this important matter and for your continued support.
