Friends and family of CMS!

Students, if the school year were a marathon (and it is), you have just hit Mile 25. The end is close enough for you to feel a thrill, but these last 1.2 miles still require the best of you: your focus, your patience, and your endurance. There will be flashes of joy in there as well, but this is the time to grab a sip of water and lock in. The finish line won’t come to you, so take a breath, settle in for the final stretch, and know that we will all be cheering you on and supporting you from now until the end.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

John / Mr. Scopelleti

A Look Back

Week 35

Lots of great pics from some great learning and great times outside of school, too.

Civics Showcase

Here's a brief note from Ms. Cerruti, our fabulous Research teacher and librarian, about the State Civics Showcase several of our students participated in last Friday:

What a day!!! Our fourteen Cohasset students (combination of MS and HS) did a fantastic job at the State Civics Project Showcase. They handled it all like professionals – wowing judges, legislators, DESE staff, students from other schools, being interviewed, being on camera, being wowed themselves by the full-size replica of the U.S. Senate Chamber. Representative Meschino spent a lot of time with our students and was thoroughly impressed… so impressed that she invited the new Secretary of Education, Dr. Stephen Zrike Jr., to Cohasset to check out our M/H school and attend our next local showcase in the Fall. Dr. Zrike told us that he is looking forward to it!

Here are some photos from the day. Thanks to all the students and everyone who helped make this happen, especially Ms. Cerruti.

Grade 8 Fesitivities

It's the beginning of the end for our oldest CMS students, and so many people--from the PSO to the Grade 8 team--are putting a lot of work into making their last few weeks great ones. See some pics here!

For Your Information

Course Override Process

At this point, course recommendations for next year are visible under the Requests tab in Aspen. If you have questions or concerns about those recommendations, please do the following:

Check in with your child's current teacher.
If--after communicating with the teacher--you would like to override the recommendation, please reach out to the appropriate department chair: Jon Fortin for Math (jfortin@cohassetk12.org) and Karen McInnis for ELA (kmcinnis@cohassetk12.org). They will be able to share a simple course override request form if you still feel that an override is appropriate.

The deadline for this two-step process is 11:59pm on June 30th.

Summer Work and Class Supplies

Information for class supplies and summer work will be available soon. Stay tuned!
