“Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.”- Wilma Rudolph

Chromebook Collection (or Not Collection) Good afternoon everyone, I hope this email finds you and your family members doing well. All returning high school students are invited to keep their Chromebooks over this coming summer. This will allow our students to remain better connected to each other and Maynard High School staff members through the summer. Additionally, keeping Chromebooks over the summer will facilitate our students being able do summer enrichment activities that high school teachers have prepared. These summer enrichment activities will be posted on our school and district websites early next week. If a high school student is not returning to Maynard High School next year for whatever reason, or does not want the responsibility of keeping their Chromebook over the summer, then we do have two drop off days coming up. On Wednesday June 10th (Tomorrow) and Wednesday June 17th from 1:00-1:30pm Technology Director Adam Steiner will have tables set up in front of the Fowler School to collect electronic devices from students in all grades district wide. Again, high school students are invited to keep their Chromebooks over the summer, but the ability to turn them in does exist for students leaving the district or who would rather not keep them. Thank you for reading. Best regards, Chuck Caragianes

Saturday's Diploma Ceremony Good evening everyone, This coming Saturday June 13th is Diploma Day! Three groups of approximately 30 seniors each will arrive for the ceremony at three set times. The groups are listed below. Being on time and with the proper group is extremely important for all concerned. All graduates should be in their Caps and Gowns in their cars with a tassel attached and hanging to the right. The first group should arrive in the student parking lot no later than 8:30am sharp. There they will be organized by volunteer school staff members for the procession to the front of the high school with the first diploma awarded at 9:00am. The second group should arrive in the student parking lot no later than 10:00am sharp. There they will be organized by volunteer school staff members for the procession to the front of the high school with the first diploma awarded at 10:30am. The third group should arrive in the student parking lot no later than 11:30am sharp. There they will be organized by volunteer school staff members for the procession to the front of the high school with the first diploma awarded at 12:00pm. Upon arrival each graduate will receive 2 invitations for use by two guests at the Graduation Celebration on July 24th at 6:30pm at Alumni Field. Please store them safely. Under state guidelines for our ceremony it is essential that the following rules be followed on Saturday: Each graduate’s car may hold as many people as desired. There will be no bathrooms open at the school. No graduate or guests in their car may congregate with others in any way. Should anyone step out of their vehicle they must be masked and be outside the vehicle as briefly as possible. When arriving at the front of MHS to receive their diploma the graduate and not more than two guests may leave their car to receive each diploma. The graduate and two guests must be masked. Mr. Caragianes and Mr. Caruso, both of whom will be masked, will lay a diploma and any awards on a presentation table for the graduate and then they must move at least 6 feet away. The graduate and guests may then advance and pick up the diploma and any awards. Upon receiving their diploma the graduate’s tassel should be moved from the right to the left signifying that they are now a graduate of Maynard High School! The graduate and two guests may briefly take off their masks for a photograph with the diploma by the presentation table and then at a nearby site set up for another photograph. Upon completion of the photographs the graduate and guests must return to their car and head out of Tiger Drive to make room for the next graduate. All staff members in the presentation area will use hand sanitizer between graduates and sanitize any necessary surfaces. As mentioned in previous communications, the above rules are required by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts due to the COVID 19 pandemic and represent the greatest extent allowable for number of guests and opportunities for photographs without masks. Staff volunteers will be at the ceremony to assist and to celebrate along with the graduates. Please do not place these volunteers in a position where they have to act as rules enforcers. Thank you for reading and I’m looking forward to seeing you on Saturday morning.

June 5th has been declared Maynard High School Class of 2020 by the Maynard Board of Selectmen Congratulations to the Class of 2020!🎉

Good afternoon everyone, I hope this message finds you and your family members all doing well. The final 6 days of the 2019-2020 school year are ahead. With the abrupt closure of the public schools in mid-March due to the COVID 19 pandemic many students still have possessions in the building and have their books from the current year. In order to allow students the opportunity to get their belongings and to drop off school materials we will be having scheduled Drop Off/Pick Up days on June 10th, 11th and 15th following the specific procedure given below. First, I want to stress that this is a voluntary process. If individuals want to wait until the start of the 2020-2021 school year to drop off materials and pick up belongings we will be doing more days in late August. Second, we will not be collecting Chromebooks. Please do not bring them in. Enrichment activities will be offered for students over the summer by MHS, more on that in a message next week, and Chromebooks will be needed should students wish to do those activities. Now for the process: On Wednesday June 10th from 10:00am to Noon Juniors should enter through the Athletics Entrance doors of the building to drop off textbooks and other materials including sports equipment and uniforms. From there they will then get their possessions from their lockers. Face masks must be worn at all times. Two plastic bags per student are allowable. Social distancing must be maintained. Students should spend the least amount of time possible in the building. Entry and exit doors will be open to minimize contact with high touch areas. On Thursday June 11th from 10:00am to Noon Sophomores should enter through the Main Entrance doors of the building to drop off textbooks and other materials including sports equipment and uniforms. From there they will then get their possessions from their lockers. Face masks must be worn at all times. Two plastic bags per student are allowable. Social distancing must be maintained. Students should spend the least amount of time possible in the building. Entry and exit doors will be open to minimize contact with high touch areas. On Monday June 15th from 10:00am to Noon Freshmen should enter through the Athletics Entrance doors of the building to drop off textbooks and other materials including sports equipment and uniforms. From there they will then get their possessions from their lockers. Face masks must be worn at all times. Two plastic bags per student are allowable. Social distancing must be maintained. Students should spend the least amount of time possible in the building. Entry and exit doors will be open to minimize contact with high touch areas.

Senior Parade! ​Good afternoon everyone, I hope this message finds you well. Our Parade Route for our seniors has been coordinated and set by the Maynard Police and is shown below. This event could not have happened without the support of the Maynard Police under Chief Noble and the ongoing efforts of School Resource Officer Mirella Ruggerio. I cannot thank them enough. As a reminder, the Senior Parade is scheduled for this Friday June 2nd starting promptly at 2:05pm. Seniors should arrive to line up by 1:45pm and are allowed one car each with as many guests as can join them in that vehicle. Car decorations are encouraged! It is recommended that Seniors have someone else drive to allow them to enjoy the parade and ride without having to concentrate on the road. Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, no one will be allowed to exit their cars at the school or congregate in any way. The building will be locked and restrooms will not be available. The route is described below. Hope to see you on Friday! Best regards, Chuck Caragianes *********************************** The route runs from the front of Maynard High School, right onto Great Rd., left onto Parker St., left onto Waltham St.,straight on Summer St., left on Nason St., right on Main St., left on Great Rd., and ending at MHS.
