We had over 60% of our students register for the FUN RUN. Therefore, we will have School Wide Pajama Day on October 26th.

Thank you to all the parents who helped raise funds for our PTO. And thank you to all the parents who came out and supported all the students during their run!

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. This month’s attribute is: EMPATHY - the ability to listen and understand others’ perspective, needs and culture.
