The focus of the School Capacity Sub-Committee is to aid the town in making the best decisions regarding the possible renovation, expansion and construction of schools within our community. We will be holding public forums during the month of May in order to provide the community with information regarding these projects and to answer questions and solicit feedback from the community.

The Anne Bradstreet Poetry Contest - Submissions due April 30th
 Our town is the home of America's first published poet, Anne Bradstreet (1612-1672). Anne arrived here at the very founding of the town in the early 1640's with her husband and their young children. She made her life in that frontier settlement, and made her mark in the world of poetry. Her first collection, "The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America", was widely read in America and England, an uncommon achievement for a woman in the post-Elizabethan English world.
Anne lived and raised her family - and wrote her poetry - right here. As a group of poets on the Poet Laureate Committee, Anne is an inspiration to all of us. This is why we named the contest after her.
In her spirit, we are inviting all members of the North Andover community to submit a poem on this theme:
"A New Vision for America - What is Your Dream?"
.
Since we’re poets, we bring you the rules – in rhyme!
 .
How do I enter? How does it work?
Fear not! We wrote a poem to clear up the murk!
Send us a poem on this special theme –
A New Vision for America – What Is Your Dream?
.
It can be about the grand or the very smallest of things –
It can be about people or places – what makes you sing?
We’re calling North Andover, the old and the young –
Enter Anne’s poetry contest, it’s new for 2021!
.
Use the contest email, choose the right category –
Open to adults, high school, middle, or elementary!
Tell us your dream for America – share the thoughts in your head –
We’ll invite all the winners – to read on a stage of blue white and red!

Important Update re: NAHS Student Learning Time
January 13, 2021 Dear North Andover High School students, parents and guardians, We are writing today with an important update to our message last week about the Massachusetts Department of Education’s new DESE Student Learning Time Regulations for daily live interaction with asynchronous students. We had notified you on January 8 that based on these new requirements, students on asynchronous days would have a minimum of 12 minutes of live interaction with teachers. Based on further discussion and valuable input from our educators, we have adjusted that model to a minimum of 20 minutes of live consecutive instruction. We all believe this additional time will provide a more educationally sound opportunity for our staff and students to connect every day. This will also increase our structured learning time to 36 hours. With this adjustment, students will be released for lunch at 1:30 p.m. The updated information and schedules are attached.
We continue to be so impressed at the creativity and flexibility of our educators, students, and parents in adapting to this new learning environment during the pandemic. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Sincerely, Dr. Gregg T. Gilligan, Superintendent Dr. James Mealey, Assistant Superintendent Lorene Marx, Assistant Superintendent Principal Chet Jackson, NAHS |
