    Covid-19 Related Changes

    PORTSMOUTH ABBEY SCHOOL Covid-19 Related Changes The following information details how Portsmouth Abbey School made adjustments to respond to difficulty incurred by the pandemic. Academic Program and Grading 2019-2020: The Abbey is on a trimester system, thus 2/3 of the final grade for each class during the 2019-2020 school year was completed under normal educational circumstances (two ten- week terms, two final exams). The Abbey moved to distance learning for the final trimester after spring break 2020 in response to Covid-19 related restrictions. Students continued to take all of their respective courses and complete both synchronous and asynchronous work through various online platforms through the end of May, concluding instruction at the same time they would have done so under normal circumstances. While students did not take final exams, those taking AP courses were expected to take the AP exams offered online by the Col- lege Board. The Abbey maintained a full grading policy (A-F scale), and the spring trimester made up the usual 1/3 of the final year-end course grade. Co-curricular Program 2019-2020: Student leaders continued to work with classmates through on-line plat- forms. The Student Life Office held class elections: candidates wrote speeches, posted videos, and elections were held online. Prospective prefects, International Student leaders, and captains went through application and interview processes. While nearly all off campus/summer opportunities were cancelled, those students awarded Haney Fellowships were invited to revise and resubmit new plans in response to pandemic related hardships. Fall 2020: The Abbey plans on holding full in-person school and running the full range of co-curricular pro- gramming for those students who can come to campus.

    Massachusetts Kindergarten Immunization Survey Results 2017-2018

    Massachusetts Kindergarten Immunization Survey Results 2017-2018 The Massachusetts Department of Public Health Immunization Program is pleased to make available the 2017-2018 Massachusetts kindergarten immunization survey results by school. Please be aware that the data are limited in a number of ways, including those listed below. • All data are self-reported by schools and discrepancies may exist. The Immunization Program continues to work with schools to resolve discrepancies and update immunization data, when possible. • Data release standards do not allow for data to be shared for schools with fewer than 30 reported kindergarteners. Schools that submitted a survey and reported fewer than 30 kindergarteners are indicated (†). • Not all schools return their survey. Schools without data due to non-response are indicated (*). • Some schools returned surveys, however those surveys contained discrepancies leading to mathematically impossible rates. When possible, we work with schools to resolve data discrepancies. Schools where rates were withheld due to unresolved discrepancies are indicated (¶). • Data are 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. • This year the kindergarten survey had a hard deadline in mid-December, which may have impacted the ability of some schools to submit their survey. • 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.

Perhaps because of technological advancements, the world is moving toward digitized art and away Tfrom tedious, time-consuming arts like printmaking. But I love printmaking. I love sitting for hours, class after class, steadily carving out the image of a bird from a zinc plate, adding a myriad of details with great care and fastidious design. You could say I’m a perfectionist; even after six months of work, my plate wasn’t close to being done. But instead of being discouraged or frustrated with the sluggish progress, I pulled back to evaluate each step and proudly saw my hours of toil shape into an intricate, rich image. Ironically, what I find most fascinating and exciting about printmaking is the level of unpredictability when a print rolls through the press. You can control the image on your plate, you can control what colors you blend into the lines, and you can control what kind of paper your print will show up on. But once you place that paper on top of the plate, even with delicate and precise positioning, what comes out the other side is completely out of your control. Practically anything can happen. This print was no exception.
