Florence Sawyer School Happenings

Dear Families,

With the most recent school year concluded, our thoughts and preparations turn to the 2024-2025 school year. On Friday, we met new students and all of our students met their new teachers. For your convenience, we have created a summer website that contains helpful information such as teacher introduction letters, school supply lists and summer activities. You can find the link to our Summer Site 2024 below and on the front page of our website.

I hope that you all have a wonderful summer!

Yours in partnership,

Joel Bates, Principal

The 2024 Recognition Night for the FSS Eighth Class took place on Thursday, June 13. Masters of Ceremonies Xavier Butrym and Ellia Tuck shared their thoughts and reflections. Mr. Mercier lead chorus members in a stirring rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." Principal Joel Bates reminded students and families that this group will be the first seniors to graduate from the new Nashoba Regional School High School. Mr. Bates also imparted advice given by kindergartners to their eighth-grade peers for their upcoming first day of high school in the fall: 'If something scares you, say, "You can do it," and then just do it.' Additionally, 'When you get home, tell your mom "it was okay," and and she will give you ice cream.'" Dean of Students, Dr. Mark Levine introduced each 8th grader, presenting them with a Certificate of Recognition.

The following students were also recognized for specific achievement.

We have created the Virtual Backpack as a convenience for our families to capture forms, flyers, calendars, and other information that might have traditionally come home in a backpack.

Included on the Virtual Backpack page is a Community Events and Activities page where you can find non-school sponsored activities such community events, youth sports, community information for families, and other activities for children. We do our best to keep the CAEP updated.

Nashoba Regional High School Athletics Information

We are excited to have you become a part of the Nashoba Regional High School Interscholastic Athletics Program. Nashoba Athletics is rich in pride and tradition. NRHS offers 50+ teams across 21 sports!

Participating at the high school level requires a greater commitment compared to a club or recreational team. Members of a team are expected to attend all practices and competitions. Weekend practice sessions may vary by sport and should be anticipated. In addition, teams do practice and compete over vacations and many holidays (i.e. Columbus Day, Veterans Day, etc.).

Prior to the start of each season, the high school will host a meeting for students and their parent(s)/guardian(s). These pre-season meetings serve as an opportunity for coaches to provide information about their program, team philosophy, expectations, and more.

The athletics office will send out information via email prior to each season, but we wanted to share information ahead of time for all potential incoming ninth graders.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Tania Rich, Director of Athletics, at trich@nrsd.net
