Neacacnewsletter 33Rd Annual Neacac Summer Institute 33RD ANNUAL NEACAC SUMMER INSTITUTE The 33rd Annual NEACAC Summer Institute was recently held on the NEACAC beautiful campus of Champlain Col- lege in Burlington, Vermont. Eighty- five new or nearly new secondary school and college or university admissions counselors converged on the campus July 28th for a four- day intensive series of presentations, skill development seminars, small group discussions, and networking opportunities. Attendees arrived from all six New England states as well as New Jersey, Washington, D.C., Maryland, Florida, Wisconsin, and New Mexico! Everyone in attendance genuinely engaged in the various sessions offered and took full advantage of the mentors and activities available to them. Before leaving Summer Institute, the attendees demonstrated their apprecia- tion for the experience by jointly giving NEACAC a gift of $150. Thank you! The Summer Institute faculty consisted of fifteen experienced professionals from NEACAC member colleges, universities, and secondary schools, including Anthony Berry (Trinity College), Jason Cloutier (Loyola University – Chicago), Jennifer Cluett (Worces- ter Polytechnic Institute), Michael Denning (Noble and Greenough School), Meg Farley (Pingree School), Janet Ferrari (Simmons College), Donald Fraser, Jr. (The Met School), Jayson Hodge (University of Connecticut), Mary McDonald (Portsmouth Abbey School), Jibril Salaam (BATEC – Boston), Suzanne Siano (St. Joseph’s High School), Steven Soba (Southern New Hampshire University), Joy St. John (Amherst College), and Co-Chairs Jim Richardson (College of the Holy Cross) and Jacquie Serafino (Dana Hall School). This year’s Summer Institute keynote speakers included current NACAC President Kim Johnston (Senior Associate Director of Admission, University of Maine), NEACAC President Bob Bardwell (Director of Guidance, Monson High School), John Mahoney (Director of Admission, Boston College) and Rod Skinner (Director of College Counsel- ing, Milton Academy). All four individuals welcomed the attendees to the profession, shared their perspectives on the field of college counseling, and offered nuggets of wisdom and advice that could only be learned over years of successful experience in the profession. Attendees also heard a presentation on FERPA matters given by Daryl Lapp, a Boston attorney and expert on FERPA issues. NEACAC is currently looking for new faculty members for Summer Institutes 2009 – 2011, particularly from secondary schools. (It is a three-year commitment.) Summer Institute faculty typically work throughout the previous year to develop and fine-tune a curriculum that will appeal to people brand new to the field as well as more expe- rienced professionals (6-18 months on the job). The curriculum includes sessions on time management, understanding transcripts and school profiles, travel and territory management, institutional marketing and strategic promotion, effective communication and public speaking skills, working through ethical issues or dilemmas, and a mock “selection of students” exercise which is designed to mimic a college or university admission committee. If you are interested in submitting a faculty application, please visit the NEACAC web site (www.neacac.org) and click on Publications and Registra- tion forms. Applications are due October 1, 2008. Host sites are also currently being sought for the 34th Annual Summer Institute in late July 2009. If you would like to submit a bid to host the 2009 Summer Institute, please contact the 2009 Summer Institute Chairperson, Jacquie Serafino (Dana Hall School) at [email protected] as soon as possible to discuss the details.

  • Massachusetts Grade 7 Immunization Survey Results 2013-2014
    Massachusetts Grade 7 Immunization Survey Results 2013‐2014 The Massachusetts Department of Public Health Immunization Program is pleased to make available the 2013‐2014 Massachusetts grade 7 immunization survey results by school. Please be aware that the data are limited in a number of ways, including those listed below. Data release standards do not allow for data to be shared for schools with fewer than 30 reported students in grade 7. Schools that reported fewer than 30 students in grade 7 are indicated (†). Not all schools return their survey. Schools without data due to non‐response are indicated (*). Data were collected in the fall, but immunization data are often updated throughout the year and rates (during the same school year) may be higher than reported due to additional children receiving immunizations or bringing records to school. Also, the student body is dynamic and as students arrive and leave school, the immunization rates are impacted. Children are allowed a medical or religious exemption to one or more vaccines. Children without the required number of doses of vaccine do not necessarily have an exemption on file. Children without a record of vaccination, but with serologic proof of immunity to certain diseases (measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis b and varicella), meet school entry requirements, but may not be counted as vaccinated. All data are self‐reported by the schools and discrepancies may exist. The Immunization Program continues to work with schools to resolve discrepancies and update immunization data,

  • An Open Letter on Behalf of Independent Schools of New England
    An Open Letter on Behalf of Independent Schools of New England, We, the heads of independent schools, comprising 176 schools in the New England region, stand in solidarity with our students and with the families of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The heart of our nation has been broken yet again by another mass shooting at an American school. We offer our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those who died and are grieving for the loss of life that occurred. We join with our colleagues in public, private, charter, independent, and faith-based schools demanding meaningful action to keep our students safe from gun violence on campuses and beyond. Many of our students, graduates, and families have joined the effort to ensure that this issue stays at the forefront of the national dialogue. We are all inspired by the students who have raised their voices to demand change. As school leaders we give our voices to this call for action. We come together out of compassion, responsibility, and our commitment to educate our children free of fear and violence. As school leaders, we pledge to do all in our power to keep our students safe. We call upon all elected representatives - each member of Congress, the President, and all others in positions of power at the governmental and private-sector level – to take action in making schools less vulnerable to violence, including sensible regulation of fi rearms. We are adding our voices to this dialogue as a demonstration to our students of our own commitment to doing better, to making their world safer.

  • Annual Report 2020 WE MATTER Our Mission
    MOTHER CAROLINE ACADEMY AND EDUCATION CENTER Annual Report 2020 WE MATTER Our Mission Founded in 1993, Mother Caroline Academy is a tuition-free, independent school for girls grades 4-8. We serve Boston families with limited resources. Our mission is to provide a high quality education that develops the individual gifts of each student and prepares her for success in competitive secondary schools and colleges. Originally created in the Catholic tradition, the school is now fully independent. We recognize the dignity, value, and assets of each person. The Academy emphasizes the importance of scholarship, leadership, and social and moral development. We Matter What a year this has been! With the abrupt school closings on March 15, 2020, our ability to come together as a team was imperative for our students and their families. We quickly realized we would not be returning to school for some time and made every effort to stay true to our mission: “by focusing on the needs of the whole family and by preserving a spirit of volunteerism and commitment among all those who aid, support and benefit from MCAEC”. In the days after the school closing, we were able to connect with many donors committing to continued support. Additionally, Phill and Elizabeth Gross offered to help us to achieve our gala goal through a match challenge. This funding, coupled with a Covid Emergency Fund, provided us the opportunity to supply each student with a computer, upgrade our school building with a Nurse’s pod and isolation rooms, new floors, PPE, handwashing stations, and sneeze guards.
