Weekly Update, August 14

We have a couple of updates from UHS this week.

MIAA Decision Forthcoming

The Commonwealth released guidelines for fall athletics, explicitly stating that these guidelines would be the basis of planning for K-12 schools with respect to athletics as well. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education will likely release guidance on Monday, and that means that an MIAA decision from its Board of Directors is likely to follow by the end of the week.

At present, we are not able to share any specifics, only that we are preparing a couple of different scenarios depending on what is directed at the state level. We appreciate everyone's patience and will do our best to communicate as soon as we can.

Questions About Calendar

The Uxbridge School Committee will be reconsidering the district calendar in the coming weeks. With the direction from DESE that we need only 170 student days of school this year, with additional time for teacher training at the onset of the year, we will have to make some adjustments. 

Parent Town Hall Next Week

We are hosting a Parent Town Hall to discuss some the particulars of hybrid and remote learning, particularly as some questions have come up over the past few days. The High School's meeting will be at 7:00 p.m. next Wednesday. Specific information regarding call-in or Zoom link will be shared early next week.

Feel free to reach out to us if you have questions. Email is always best.

Be safe and stay well.
