I hope everyone has has been able to shovel out from this past week's snowstorm. We have a lot happening around here and I want to make sure everyone is caught up.
Parents Night:
Parents night is tomorrow, Thursday March 7th from 6-8 pm at the Academy. This is a great opportunity to speak to your child's teacher. We hope to see you there!
ASPEN:
Peabody High School has transitioned its student database system to a new program call ASPEN. ASPEN is a web based program that also includes a parent portal feature which allows parents to access students grades, attendance, and any other assignments assigned. Students were given a demonstration last week in class. They were allowed to log in and try the site out. All Academy Math and English Courses will be online with ASPEN while all other course information ( History, Science, Electives) will continued to be emailed out through our Edgenuity software each Monday. I can also make a parent portal for Edgenuity available to you as well., Please contact me if you would like to access that feature. You can Access Aspen Here. The username is your child's school email. Each student had the opportunity to change their password so please speak to them about accessing that information.
North Shore Community College:
On Friday,March 8, a representative from North Shore Community College will be here to conduct on site admissions to the college. we will follow up with a field trip to the campus on Friday, March 22nd for placement testing.
Community Service:
Reminder that all seniors are required to complete 40 hours of community service in order to graduate. We have completed well over 50 this year alone. However, there are few new students that have not been here to begin the year that need to make sure this is complete. This is a GRADUATION REQUIREMENT AND MUST BE COMPETE IN ORDER TO GRADUATE.
We are in the process of scheduling several other trips before the year is over .
Academy Graduation:
The Academy graduation will be held of Friday, June 7th at 10 am. This is a great event and I hope to see you all there.
I hope you all stay warm over the next few weeks. Spring is right around the corner!!
Mr. Bedard
