Dear Parents,

The Montpelier Athletic Department has a new software program for registering student-athletes into sports. Please go to http://montpeliervt.gomyreg.com/info/, or go to: Co-Curricular - Athletics - Athletics Registration on the MHS website, Click on the Create New Account button to open your account providing us with emergency contacts, allergy/medical info & more so we can serve you better.

Don’t forget to enter your cell number with the carrier so we can text you with any last minute changes. You will never have to fill out paperwork for sports again and there will be much better communication through email and text messaging with coaches, parents and student-athletes that was not possible before.

Lastly when signing up your student-athlete please place the grade he or she is currently in this spring. On June 1st indicate the grade they will be entering the fall.

If you have any questions please contact:

Matt Link 802-225-8019

The schedule allows for study time in the morning and afternoon of each exam day. This will allow students time to review and prepare for exams. In the event students miss a scheduled exam, parent should contact the main office. Students are required to contact their teacher to discuss the possibility of a make-up exam time. Teachers are not required to allow a make-up exam unless they determine that there are extenuating circumstances.

Students are required to be in attendance only during the periods that they have an exam, but are encouraged to be in school during other “unassigned” periods and use a variety of spaces in the school for both individual and group study. The spaces available for study are the cafeteria, library, computer lab and in classrooms with the permission of individual teachers. Click here to read the full letter and view the exam schedule.

Students

·         From Matt McLane: Lilly Schwarz completed her CBL working with the Agency of Commerce and Community Development by doing a real fine job in a presentation that she gave to 20 Agency personnel and staff , including the Agency's Secretary and Deputy Secretary. She did a great job of making sense of multiple decades worth of census data for the Agency's use in economic and community development planning .Nice work Lilly

·         Ashley Perotte and Cristian Munger completed their educational journeys at MHS. Both students gave fantastic presentations and set a powerful example for all Solons.

·         From Brooke Pearson:  Just a quick summary of our team's trip to Atlanta.These kids (Nina, Martin, Jonah, Seth, and Mitchell) represented MHS with distinction and, in all respects, acquitted themselves very well indeed.  They played 15 matches, winning 5 and being close in a couple of others.  Their .333 record was very good considering that they are such a young team and that they were competing against state champion schools much larger than ours.  In addition to competing, they had a lot of fun in their free time.  We arrived at our hotel a little before noon on Friday, so had plenty of time to roam around and visit World of Coca-Cola before participating in practice rounds early in the evening.  All day Saturday and Sunday morning were spent competing.  Saturday evening, we had a fun dinner at a nearby restaurant, after which the boys hung out with kids from the Essex High School team (the other VT team competing) at the hotel pool.  On Sunday, after finishing our matches in the morning and before watching the final, championship round in the afternoon, Nina and Carolyn Herz (who chaperoned with me) visited the Margaret Mitchell House, while the boys and I went to Piedmont Park where the Atlanta Jazz Festival was underway and listened to a very good high school jazz band.

·         A Salute to musicians from MSMS and MHS.  Thanks for providing a musical celebration to wrap up the year!

·         Wednesday night was a big night for our new inductees into NHS and for our men’s lacrosse team--coming back from a 7-1 deficit.   

Faculty

·         We would like to honor Matt McLane for his tireless efforts to ensure meaningful learning for our students and for our community members.  Matt ensures that he supports community within our school walls as well; we would be hard pressed to find someone who is as positive and thoughtful.

Community

·         Jeff Stetter has devoted a considerable amount of pro bono design time and talent to help the Student Council think through and refine their cafeteria redesign project.  Jeff is an architect at Gossens Bachman firm in Montpelier (and Alex's dad) and his time has been greatly appreciated by all involved.  Thanks, Jeff.

·         Bill Carrigan donated his time to discuss investment fraud with students only a few hours after refereeing a lacrosse game on our field the night before. You are a renaissance man, Woody.
