Grad Nite Live Preview-Saturday, June 2nd

MHS families and community members are invited to the Grad Nite Live community preview at MHS on Saturday, June 2nd from 7-9 PM.  The theme this year is particularly enjoyable for young families.  MHS seniors are excluded from the preview and have to wait until 11 PM, when the doors open for the graduates.

The Grad Nite Live Committee is a community volunteer group that gives this gift to our graduating seniors to keep them safe on graduation night.  The school is transformed to a particular theme and for the third year, we are auctioning off the artwork that volunteers have worked months to prepare.  The artwork may be perfect for some schools!!  Some may be perfect for bedrooms or play rooms!  All proceeds will benefit the class of 2019’s Grad Nite Live.  This is also an opportunity for Grad Nite to recruit new volunteers and donors, as it take hundreds of people and $25,000 to pull off this event each year.

We hope you can pop over to MHS on Saturday night.

Handicap Accessible Parking Spaces

Dear Members of the MPSD Community,

The School Committee and I would like to remind students, staff, parents and the community to please be respectful of the Handicapped Accessible Parking Spaces in each of our school parking lots.  These spaces are available for people who are in legitimate need of the space. Unfortunately, there have been a number of times when vehicles without appropriate disabled parking placards have parked in these spaces. 

At times it may seem trivial and inconsequential to pull into a handicapped accessible parking space to “quickly” drop off a student, pick up a student or just run into the building for a “second”.  Before using these spots illegally; however, we ask you to “stop and think” for just a moment about your actions and to respectfully only use a handicap parking spot for its intended use by law.

Thank you for your attention to this matter and for respecting this longstanding law.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey W. Granatino, Superintendent of Schools

Marshfield School Committee
