High School of Choice-8th Grade Balloting

Happy New Year 8th Grade Families. 

The Balloting process will begin next week and will be posted on the district website.  If you need any support with the process or have any questions about Duggan High School, please come visit my zoom during crew all next week, or at lunch on Tuesday, or we can schedule a time. https://springfieldpublicschools.zoom.us/j/5989183606

The districts is hosting an information night on Thursday 1/7/20 from 5:30 to 7:00. Below is the link to website.
https://www.springfieldpublicschools.com/news/News/high_school_info_night_january_7th

I hope you consider balloting Duggan number 1.  I would love to work with your student throughout their high school career.  In our high school we have 90 seats for the 9th grade and we have been filling up and carrying a wait list.

At Duggan High we have similar opportunities that the larger schools offer in a smaller more personal environment. All of our high school students take college preparatory coursework that will prepare them for all future careers.  Below are just a few highlights:
- Honors and Advance Placement tracks for qualifying students
- Full athletic program
- Internships
- Dual enrollment
- Career Counseling
- Clubs and Organizations (NHS, GSA, Nursing, Gaming, are just a few)
- Career Pathways for Health, Education, Engineering, and Law

Letter From Principal

Dear Duggan Academy Families, 
 
We hope all of you are doing well.  We at Duggan Academy are excited to begin the school year, and our teachers and administrators are getting ready to make this an excellent remote learning experience for your student. During this time of social distancing we want to ensure that each of our new 6th graders and returning students continue to have access to high-quality curriculum and assignments. 
 
We plan to deliver instruction through a virtual learning environment, and we need your support to ensure the success of our efforts!
 
 
Last spring there was more flexibility to our attendance and grading policy.  This fall, grades will return to the standard A-F grading system, and we will no longer use the Pass-Fail grading system. We will also ensure that classes are mostly a daily live experience for your child. Even though we will not physically be together inside our school and classrooms for now, you can still expect your child will receive a high-quality education in a safe, supportive, and successful environment. 
 
If you have any questions, please call me at 413-439-5458. 
 
We believe that ALL students –without exception-can achieve at high levels, and we are committed to ensuring each students’ continuous growth.  
 
Thank you and we hope to “Feel the Love” on our upcoming zoom meetings! 
 
 
Michael Calvanese
Executive Principal 
John J. Duggan Academy
