Some big news for @SSVTSuper today! The Mass. School Building today approved the school for eligibility to their Capital Pipeline. A big step forward toward modernizing their facility & expanding student access. Grateful to @Mass_SBA and @MassTreasury for support!

Lemme' get this straight:
🏀 Ray Allen makes 40% of his *career* 3 pointers and is inducted into the hall of fame.

🏫 BUT, Frank gets 50% of the points in his class and it's an "F."

⁉�� So, maybe the points & percentages we often use in schools are a bit arbitrary?

Risks of kids out of school-loss of learning, impact of isolation, lack access to services, loss of parent job, nutrition insecurity, detection of child abuse. Your child might be fine. Others are not

Every Supt will say "I am doing the best I can to figure it all out" #BeKind

Vikings Baseball had the players to make a nice run this year. Hoop Captain Brian McClain would have been a great player to watch. Some good recognition from @BostonHeraldHS

@SouthShoreTec will not have April vacation this year and we will continue remote learning during that week (Tues-Fri 4/21-4/24). Last day of school moves to June 12. Stay safe and stay connected!

[Patrick O'Connor @PatrickMOConnor]

Great to stop by @SouthShoreTec today — the school has been using 3D printers to make face shields for local area hospitals & first responders. They’ve donated over 250 thus far and are now producing 75-80 a day. I’m really proud to see so many in our community stepping up.

[Hanson Fire @HansonFire]

We would like to thank South Shore Tech. for their donation of these face shields. These will help minimize the risk to our members. @KBoyleSSVT @SouthShoreTec @SSVTSuper
