[MSS News] Holiday Recess Return

[Michael Bessette]

Good Morning:

In the past few days, I have had a number of individuals ask about the validity of the Branching Out - Dates to Remember calendar that indicates the return of students to the school on January 3rd and a Professional Development Day on January 10th.  This is indeed an accurate account of the calendar which was shifted in November by the School Board.  Since that shift, I have included that change in the calendar in the Dates to remember section of Branching Out.  Additionally, the Superintendent sent home via listserv the following on November 16th.  I hope this helps to clarify the shift the Board has made.  Thanks!

Hello Everyone:

It is hard to believe Thanksgiving is almost upon us. It seems like yesterday school had just begun.

A few announcements:
Secretary of State Gardner recently set the date of the NH Presidential Primary for Tuesday, January 10, 2012. The date of the primary impacts the school district, as the middle high school is the voting location for the community. Large voter turnout elections are a concern for the middle and high schools for a variety of reasons: ranging from instructional space, to student safety, to parking.  On Monday, the Hopkinton School Board supported the recommendation to adjust the calendar in lieu of the Presidential Primary:
	The Professional Development Day scheduled for Tuesday January 3, 2012 will be moved to Tuesday, January 10, 2012. 
	(January 3, 2012 will be a regular school day for all students. Students will not have school on January 10, 2012.)
