Clubs and Activities

Both middle schools plan to continue to run clubs and activities remotely. To accommodate students traveling home. Clubs will begin at 3:00pm and run until 3:45pm. Students should just log on from home as soon as they can. I anticipate clubs will run on the same afternoons as they currently run. We will let you know if there are any adjustments to the after-school clubs schedule.

GUIDANCE COUNSELOR

Please contact your child’s guidance counselor if you have any overarching concerns whether i is attendance related or not. Specific class/assignment related questions or concerns should be directed to the particular teacher involved. Our counselor assignments are as follows:

• Mrs. Charig: Grade 6 & Teams 5-2 & 5-3 (charigm@chelmsford.k12.ma.us)
• Mrs. Seero: Grade 7 & Team 5-4 (seeroe@chelmsford.k12.ma.us)
• Mrs. Vining: Grade 8 & Team 5-1 (viningj@chelmsford.k12.ma.us)

ATTENDANCE

School starts at 8:19 am for all students. Remote students not logged in or Hybrid students not in class by 8:19 will be marked absent, until notification of a change has been received. If your student will arrive late or be dismissed from a remote learning class parents need to notify the main office via email mccarthy_attendance@chelmsford.k12.ma.us or call the attendance line 251-5122 and select option 1

NURSE

Remember to Contact the Nurse if Your Child Becomes Symptomatic

Remember to Contact the Nurse if Your Child Becomes Symptomatic

Please contact our nurse, Gina Clancy, if your child begins to show signs of coronavirus. It is real important for her to determine when symptoms begin and if the student was in the building during the period they are considered infectious. Also, please contact us if someone in your home tests positive and your child becomes considered a "close contact", which would require your student to become fully remote for 14 days. We recommend your child get tested 4-5 days after exposure to the person who tested positive

LUNCH

Lunch: The Federal Lunch Program will continue for the remainder of the school year. This means that all students will continue to receive a free bagged lunch daily. I will share additional information on how our lunch schedule will work once our schedule is finalized.

We are planning to keep students appropriately distanced in the cafeteria during lunch. To accomplish this we will be using other larger areas such as the gym to help with overflow. We will also allow students to eat outside on days when the weather cooperates.
