dr maruszczakGood morning... Spring has sprung!
 
I have a quick reminder for all of our parents of sophomores.  The annual MCAS testing commences this week with the English language arts test administration on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings.  We have posted the student room assignments for the testing sessions in front of the cafeteria and the guidance office, so be sure your son/daughter knows where he/she is going.
 
As I am sure you are aware, MCAS is a high-stakes test, and passing it is a requirement for graduation from MHS.  We are very proud of our students' success on this test (93% were proficient or advanced in 2009), and I am very confident that our ELA teachers have done an outstanding job preparing this year's sophomores.  I ask of parents a couple of common-sense requests:  please make sure your son/daughter has gotten a good night's sleep and has eaten a nutritious breakfast.  Those simple steps can often go a long way in improving performance!
 
As always, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at (508) 261-7540 or via e-mail at Joseph.Maruszczak@mansfieldschools.com .
 
Have a great week!

4-hWe are pleased to announce that senior Joanna Rothchild has been recently named as a National Merit Finalist by the National Merit Scholarship Program of the College Board.  Joanna was named a National Merit Semi-Finalist last fall based upon her PSAT scores, which were among the top 1% of the 1.5 million students who took the test last year.  After completing a rigorous application process, Joanna now has National Merit Finalist status and is competing to earn a $2500 scholarship from the National Merit Scholarship Program.
 
Congratulations, Joanna, on this prestigious designation!

Mansfield High School Business Students are looking for client companies...
 
This semester, the business/marketing class at MHS is looking to develop a comprehensive marketing plan for local companies. If you think your company might be able to benefit from some free marketing advice from some energetic students, please email Ron Carlstrom at rcarlstrom@mansfieldbankonline.com .
 
The students will meet one on one with the owners of the business for a couple hours at the business' convenience.  After the meeting, the students will take the information back to class and develop a marketing plan to best suit the companies goals.
 
At the end of the semester, the students will present the plan to the owner(s) at the High School, and will be open for critique and suggestions.  The owner will then grade the students on different objectives, i.e. presentation, organization, usefulness, creativeness, etc.
 
This is a great opportunity to get some real world feedback from some of our next future business leaders!
