Hi everyone!
As we end the only full week of school in November for both middle school and high school, I want to wish good luck to our students running in the Nike Regional Championship and to our students auditioning for the music festival this weekend.

Resource List
As we head into the holiday season, it is always good to think of those who are less fortunate and who may need extra support. There are many ways to support through donation of goods, financial support or donating your time. Please use the following link to connect with organizations in the greater Concord community to help or if you are in need.
9th Grade Meetings
School counselors have begun meeting individually with freshmen to see how their year has started. These meetings will continue through November and into December. The counselors will also be going into Freshmen Science classes the two days before Thanksgiving break to discuss time-management, planning and organizing for academic, and life, success.
Cartwheel
Hopkinton Middle/High School is fortunate to be part of a pilot program over the next three years, along with four other public schools in New Hampshire, that will offer our students access to quality virtual mental health care. Through our partnership with Cartwheel, our community has access to mental health support, including counseling, webinars (see link below), and resources for parents and guardians.
