Community Tailgate Cancelled

To ensure the safety of our friends, families, and fans, we have decided to cancel next weekend’s Community Tailgate. We are sorry for any inconvenience this might cause. The boys varsity and junior varsity football teams will play on Saturday, October 13, at times that have not yet been determined. Please check the school’s website early next week for game times.

Easthampton has recently been labeled a high risk area for mosquito-borne illnesses such as Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE). EEE is a rare viral infection that is dangerous to humans; it is spread through infected mosquito bites. The Department of Public Health has confirmed three cases of human EEE infection across Massachusetts this year. Officials also have reported 13 cases of another mosquito-transmitted disease, West Nile Virus, in Massachusetts.

Fine & Performing Arts Classrooms Request

Hello All,

This is a gentle reminder to the community that the Fine & Performing Arts classrooms and spaces are for those students and faculty involved in those programs.  With the visual arts in the Upper School, students pay a substantial studio fee per course for the supplies used in their classes.  In the Middle School, we have a budget for supplies to be used specifically for those classes.

Dining Hall Requests

As I am sure most of you have noticed, the dining hall has been busier than usual this year during lunch. Two factors contributing to this are the fact that you like the food we serve (thank you!) and the new academic schedule.  We are working at ways of easing the congestion so please bear with us.  In the meantime, you can help us by busing your tables and pushing your chairs in when you are finished eating. Please leave the tables the way you would want to find them if you were just coming in to eat.

Since the start of the school year we are missing about fifty (50) cereal bowls, fifty (50) teaspoons, forty (40) cups, and a multitude of coffee cups and assorted other flatware.  Please do not take dishes, cups or flatware from the dining hall.  Just because our dishes have a plastic feel to them does not mean that they are inexpensive or disposable.  If you happen to see any items mentioned above in your travels around campus please return them to the dining hall or send me an email so that I can retrieve them.

Thank you all in advance for your assistance in these matters.

Mr. Martin
