Dear Melican Families -


Happy New Year! We hope you enjoyed the holidays. We are excited to welcome our students back for 2026.


Please remind students to bring Yondr pouches and charged chromebooks to school each day. We have few loaner chromebooks, and classrooms are only equipped to charge one or two chromebooks at a time. We do not want students to miss out on learning because they are unprepared. 


Please check the lost and found, which is located outside the front entrance. Unclaimed items will be donated. 


We have a technology engineering substitute beginning on January 20. Until then, Mr. Duffy, one of our building based subs, will be covering.

Wachusett Ski Club begins this Tuesday. We have an away basketball game on Tuesday (against Trottier) and a home basketball game on Thursday (against Charlton). Because the home games begin at 4:00, student spectators must leave at dismissal and return for the game. 


Please reach out with any questions.


Respectfully,


Michelle T. Karb, Principal

Gretchen M. Bean, Assistant Principal
