news from the Middle School…
Middle School fundraising to defray cost of the yearbook has never been more exciting! The 8th grade tweets are starting to pour in from parents and well-wishers who wish to recognize students as they mark this milestone in their lives. T-Shirts are on sale (see inset that follows) as are logo SmartPockets for your cellphone. Cheers to the MS Student Council and Mrs. Gordon for all of the great new ideas and to the students who contributed to the winning t-shirt design: Viola Henry and Leesil Gilbert!
Two new Google chrome book carts are up and running and getting plenty of use in classrooms across the middle school. With the help of teachers, students have been accessing school Google accounts to complete research, develop projects, and brainstorm writing assignments within the classroom. Being able to create while maintaining access to all of the resources in the classroom provides a rich and vibrant learning envi-ronment. We are grateful for the continued support of increased access to technology.
news from the High School…
Senior parents are getting ready to brainstorm! If you are the parent of a senior, your ideas, time, and will-ingness to get involved are needed as parents meet to start planning for prom related festivities. It is hard to believe, I know, but the sooner the better, so I have been asked to invite folks to an initial meeting in the
CMHS Library at 6:30 PM on November 16th. This is the first of many conversations and is just a jump-ing off point. If you are unable to make that meeting, but interested in getting in on the ground floor of a committee, please email me and I will paste your name and email into the sign in sheet I will leave for parents that night.
Other things ongoing include our Mathletes competing in Hingham yesterday and rehearsals for Annie in full swing. Please note performance date/times for first weekend in December as listed on the PSO calendar and plan accordingly. Between that, the teams in tournament play, and Thanksgiving just around the corner, students are bustling to complete their work before the end of Term I! Please encourage your seniors to KEEP IT UP! Schools will be looking for updates and making decisions based on student progress.
Wondering what is involved in sailing as part of the high school team?
Bill Collins, a senior US Sailing judge, is working with Coach Foley to hold a Racing Rules of Sailing seminar on Thursday at 3PM in Rm. 174 of the high school. Current members, interested students, and
parents are all welcome to attend to learn about the latest and greatest changes in the sport.
Library to Learning Commons Cohasset Middle-High School is committed to providing our students with a safe and
supportive learning environment while preparing our students for life and study beyond the confines of 143 Pond Street. In that spirit, we are looking to transform our traditional
Library into a Learning Commons where students and teachers can collaborate, create, and innovate.
The plan to make this happen has been several years in the making but initial schematics have been drawn up and were presented to School Committee in September.
The Cohasset Education Foundation has generously dedicated their fall capital fundraising campaign to this transformation and we would greatly appreciate your support
of this project that will benefit ALL current and future Cohasset students.
Opportunities to learn more are abundant!
December 1st in the CMHS Library @ 7PM: hear a presentation and envision the transformation
The CEF is also hosting Eat, Drink and Be Giving cocktail parties on Tuesday November 15 and
Wednesday November 16 at which all are welcome. If you would like to attend one of these dates,
please contact Katie Norton at [email protected] or visit the Learning Commons page on the CEF
website, cohasseteducationfoundation.org for more information."
Safe Harbor Cohasset Coalition
Invites You To
Open Coalition Meeting Tuesday, Nov. 15 at 6:30 pm
Bates Hall, Second Congregational Church*
43 Highland Avenue
We are pleased to welcome you and our dynamic guest, Andrew Stephens, to a roundtable discussion.
As Principal at Duxbury High School for the last 10 years, Mr. Stephens has worked closely with students, faculty, Duxbury FACTS and the Duxbury Police Department to address adolescent drug and alcohol misuse, prevention and recovery. He joins
us as a source of honest insight about what has worked and has not worked for them. As a resident of Cohasset and parent of students in our schools, he is com-
mitted to helping our community work efficiently toward a common goal. Questions will include:
What are current trends among students? Are the messages kids receive from parents, schools and community institutions
consistent? Are consequences consistent?
What can parents do to support the school’s efforts? What are some of the triggers to substance misuse?
What structures exist within our schools and community to prevent or address anxiety, stress or depression?
After the discussion, SHCC will host a brief coalition meeting with a detailed agenda forthcoming.
*Please note the venue change.
