Kristin Nichols, M. Ed., a college admission professional, will lead a discussion of case studies for students and parents to learn about the college admission process. Due to upcoming changes to the SAT, this event is limited to current High School juniors ONLY and their parents. For more information on Kirstin Nichols, visit www.HPLFinc.org.

As we begin to look ahead to next year, I want to communicate a key change that will be taking place at Elmwood School. The purpose of my communication is to provide you with an overview of the change, a rationale for the change, and how the change will positively affect students.

Mr. Martineau announced today that he is a finalist for the position of Assistant Superintendent for the Northborough-Southborough Public Schools. Although he continues to enjoy his work in Hopkinton, this career opportunity was one that he felt compelled to explore given the proximity to his home. We wish Mr. Martineau well in the process and congratulate him for this exciting career opportunity.
