UPDATE FROM OUR NURSE

Vaccines are now available for children ages 12 and up. We strongly encourage vaccination of our students. All absences will be excused for vaccination or symptoms post vaccination. Please provide the office/nurse with proof of vaccination. If you are interested in one of the upcoming clinics at Nipmuc please sign up on the link below.

Here is the FDA fact sheet about the Emergency Use Authorization of the Pfizer vaccine for children of 12 years and older.

Our Miscoe Hill Grade 8 students are currently engaged in a project that empowers them to reflect on their interests and strengths to explore relevant career paths. Students recently completed the Strengths Explorer survey in Naviance, in which students are asked a series of reflection questions that generates a report with their Top 3 strengths. Naviance then uses the data from the Strengths Explorer to provide students with information on a wide range of fields and career pathways that are relevant to their report. Students spent the week before April reviewing potential career options and have selected one they would like to investigate further.

Now we need your help! The next step in this process is for students to interview someone in their field of choice. In the following form, you will find a list of careers that students have identified as their top choice. Please complete this simple form if you are interested in being interviewed by a student or a small group of students. Interviews will take place over Zoom and will last no more than 30 minutes. We are aiming to schedule the interviews for 1:45 PM during the school week; but if you are interested and unavailable at that time, we can likely work within your schedule. Please respond by the end of the week so we can begin scheduling interviews. We thank you in advance for your willingness to participate.
