Keeping you informed on important dates and information.
January 2, 2024
Happy New Year! We hope everyone was able to enjoy some time off over the holidays. We are looking forward to having a great start to 2024. As we turn the calendar we also think of our soon-to-be graduates in Nipmuc's Class of 2024. We are excited to begin to celebrate our seniors in the months ahead. Senior students and families can expect further communication along with a planning document to be emailed by the end of next week. This will include important deadlines, upcoming events and other information leading up to graduation.

A Message from the School Nurse
We have noted an increase in flu illnesses during the past few weeks. Below are some resources and information that may help. As always, we recommend that you contact your child’s primary care provider or school nurse with any illness related concerns. The MA Department of Public Health offers this guidance for protecting yourself and others from getting sick.

Technology Savvy Volunteers Needed
Looking for ways to help out in our community? Nipmuc Junior Patrick Scott is currently working with the Mendon Senior Center to team up and start a program called "Senior Tech Talk". This is a time when senior citizens can work with teens to learn more about the constant evolving technology options and how to best use them in their personal lives. The first meeting will take place on January 17 at 2:30pm at the Mendon Senior Center. You can find out more information in the flyer below.
