Good morning Cohasset Families,

Due to the anticipated timing of the turnover from rain to snow, all after-school and evening activities are canceled or postponed for today, Tuesday, March 14. The Recycled pARTS event at Cohasset Middle School and Cohasset High School is rescheduled for Monday, March 20 at 6:30PM. Any further rescheduling of activities will be communicated by the planners of those events. Please stay safe in the storm.

Important Information from Cohasset Police Regarding Closing of Beach Street from 9:00AM - 2:00PM on March 7 & March 8.

We do not anticipate this closing impacting our bus routes:

 On 03/07/2023 and 03/08/2023 National Grid will have a tree removal company and crane working on Beach Street between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. each day. During that time, Beach Street will be completely closed due to critical work that needs to be done. Police Officers will be present to facilitate safety. The crane that is being used, is expected to take up the entire width of the road. If you live on Beach Street, we ask for your patience as you may not be able to leave depending on where the crane is located. Please know that the work is expected to begin after school bus pickup and is scheduled to stop before afternoon dismissal each day. Thank you for your understanding.

Greetings Cohasset Families,

Please click on the link to access the Navigator Newsletter for 1/13/2023. Within this newsletter is an additional resource for talking with students regarding the recent news impacting Cohasset. This resource, which comes from Riverside Trauma Center, who is currently working with Cohasset school faculty and staff to support them and to guide them on working with students, is linked below:

Talking with Students about Traumatic Events

Our primary goal is to maintain our routines for our students, as we support students, families, and staff. We always stress the importance of adhering to normal routines during all difficult times, as children find comfort in knowing that schools are safe and supportive.

Please be mindful that schools are required to respect student and staff confidentiality rights, which prohibit us from being able to disseminate confidential information to the public.

Have a wonderful weekend and a nice Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Please take some time to reflect on Dr. King’s messages of peace, civil disobedience, courage, activism, and love. In a time when courage is needed to improve our society, Dr. King stands as a shining example of our potential to make true change and of our responsibility to make this world a better place.

Sincerely,

Patrick Sullivan, Ed.D.
