Attention Students Grade 9-11: STUDENT SCHEDULING
This year, we are implementing a new method to complete student scheduling. With the addition of PowerSchool, there are some PowerSchool tools that we will use to develop student schedules. The first step is a non PowerSchool resource, but an old fashioned handout for students to complete. The document is called Course Selection (see below depending on current grade) with a parent/guardian. Then the student will meet with their academic teacher (see timeline below) to discuss their request and the teacher recommendation. If there is a conflict, the student will schedule an appointment with their guidance counselor. Please click the following links below to help you select your course next year.

- Step 3: April 1-5: If there are no conflicts with student requests and teacher recommendations, then the students will log into PowerSchool and “Accept” their recommendation. More information to follow. If there is a conflict, student will schedule a time to meet with their guidance counselor.
- Step 4: April 5-June 1: Once all requests and recommendations have been submitted and accepted, we will begin to build the schedule for the 2019-2020 school year. Students will have tentative schedules prior to leaving this school year.

Animal Science and Agricultural Mechanics & Diesel Technology
Senior Chelsea Botelho from Ag Mech made our Small Animal Science department a beautiful aquarium stand which they delivered it to us before February break. Our 55-gallon saltwater tank has cycled and is stabilized! Our marine animals our loving the new additional and so are our students! Come check out both our marine tanks in the Small Animal Science building, and admire Chelsea’s craftsmanship as well!

FFA Turf Mgt Team
On Tuesday three of our Landscape seniors competed in the FFA Turf Mgt. CDE at Essex Aggie. Even though they were one person short, they still placed third among a field of 11 teams. Team members include Alexia Whittle, Sadie Santsaver and Parker Kellard who placed second overall out of 44 participants. Congratulations on a job well done.

Most teenagers hope to spend the weekend catching up on sleep and spending time with friends. But this Saturday, students from Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School will instead be putting their quiz bowl skills to the test by competing in the Blue Lobster Bowl at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Eighteen teams from 10 Massachusetts schools will face off in the regional component of the 22nd annual National Ocean Sciences Bowl, an interdisciplinary ocean science education program of the Consortium for Ocean Leadership. The NOSB is a quiz-bowl style academic competition that tests students’ knowledge of ocean-related topics, including cross-disciplines of biology, chemistry, policy, physics and geology.
On Saturday, March 2, the Blue Lobster Bowl will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the Kirsch Auditorium at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at 32 Vassar St., Cambridge. Snow date is March 3.
The competition theme is “Observe the Ocean; Secure the Future.” The majority of the global ocean remains unexplored, yet it’s changing at a time when its role in supporting life on the planet is becoming more transparent every day. As these changes impact every aspect of society, the need for information on ocean patterns, conditions and processes is growing exponentially. High-quality data is critical for understanding ecosystem health, biodiversity, climate change, pollution, human health, maritime safety, and food, water, and energy security. Some of the competition questions will focus on this theme.
Students at the Blue Lobster Bowl aren’t the only ones testing their ocean science knowledge. Around the nation, young scholars will be competing in 23 other bowls in February and early March. The winner of each regional bowl will compete in the national finals competition April 11-14 in Washington, D.C.
The 2018 Blue Lobster Bowl winning team was Lexington High School, which came back after being defeated by Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School in 2017. For the second time, a team from the Bristol County Agricultural High School from Dighton won the 2018 McDowell Science Challenge, a longer, team-problem solving part of the Blue Lobster Bowl.
Supporters at home can follow the Blue Lobster Bowl Facebook page with an electronic scoreboard when the matches and their divisions are announced at the start of the competition. In April, supporters can also follow along with the national Finals competition on Twitter with the National Ocean Sciences Bowl @NOSBRocks and #NOSB19.
