The calendar now includes four delayed start days for students in grades 9, 11, & 12. The purpose of the delayed start is to provide better accommodations for MCAS testing at SRS in the spring.

The delayed start days will take place on March 28, 29 and May 16, 17. On those four days students in grades 9, 11 and 12 ONLY will come to school for a 10:30 start, all other students and all staff will report as normal.

Parent teacher conferences are an important opportunity for parents and teachers to connect and discuss student progress. Conferences are being held district-wide on Thursday, October 27, 2022. If you have not already set up a conference time, please reach out to your child's teacher.

On October 26, 2022, MCAS test results will be sent to families in the postal mail.

These results are from the spring 2022 next-generation MCAS tests that were given in English Language Arts and Mathematics to students in grades 3-8 and 10, grades 5 and 8 science and engineering and high school introductory Physics.

Our Math Leadership Team is hosting our first event to spread the joy of math to all STGRSD families!

Please join us for a night of fun in the SRS (7-12) Cafeteria! There will be a variety of games to enjoy together as a family.

There will be door prizes and raffles as well as light snacks and refreshments.

The Southwick Regional School Drama Club's 2022 Fall Play is the popular murder mystery Clue!

"Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery. The tale begins at a remote mansion, where six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects. Led by Wadsworth – the butler, Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock and Colonel Mustard race to find the killer as the body count stacks up. Clue is the comedy whodunit that will leave both cult-fans and newcomers in stitches as they try to figure out…WHO did it, WHERE, and with WHAT!” broadwaylicensing.com

The District Strategic Plan defines the vision, mission and core values of our district. Each year the strategic objectives and high impact initiatives of the plan are updated to meet the current needs of students. The 22/23 District Strategic plan is available on the district website. The site strategic plans for each school are in the process of being finalized and approved by the school committee.

As we look ahead to preparing the 23/24 District Strategic Plan, Superintendent Willard will be holding a series of listening sessions for families to gather feedback on the plan going forward. Please watch your email for information on those sessions as they are scheduled.

Be sure your child's school office has your latest contact information. Important updates and emergency notifications are sent to families via email, telephone and text messaging.
