Week Twenty (1/12/26-1/16/26)- Coming Up!

Dear MASH Parents and Guardians,

This week marked a successful close to Semester One for our students. Classes wrapped up, final assessments were completed, and we reached the midpoint of state testing. We are proud of the hard work our students demonstrated throughout the semester.

Today, our staff participated in records review to help prepare for a smooth transition into Semester Two and to best support students moving forward.

The first day of Semester Two is Monday, January 12th. Please review the schedule below that was also shared with you over the last month in December. We continue our state testing next week.

Marking Period Two report cards will be available on Sapphire on January 15th at approximately 4:00 PM.

As we continue to strengthen communication with our school community, we invite parents and guardians to share feedback by completing a brief survey about the MASH Newsletter. You can access the survey here.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we begin the second half of the school year.

Enjoy your weekend!

Joseph Reidy
Principal, MASH
