The Triton Regional Middle School in partnership with students, families, and the community is committed to the development of independent learners who respect differences and value academic excellence. A highly qualified staff nurtures intellectual, social, emotional, and physical growth in the pursuit of developing responsible citizens and lifelong learners.
We hope your summer is going well and we are excited to see students again on September 7th when we start school.
We wanted to reach out with some start of school information for our incoming 7th and 8th graders:
Locker Night: Wednesday September 1st from 1pm to 6pm, we will have an expanded “Locker Night”. Normally this is a 7th grade event but this year, given what we went through last year with the Covid-19 Pandemic, we wanted to open it up to the entire school! This will be an on-going, drop in event where all students can come to Triton to see the building, find their locker, and meet us and some of the teachers. Students and families can spend as much time as they wish exploring the middle school. We hope to also give out Chromebooks to all students in attendance. Please do not worry if you are unable to make it on this day. All students will be provided all the information and materials they need over the first days of school. Please be aware that we will be in masks for this indoor event.
Opening Day –Tuesday September 7th
Our school day is 7:42am to 2:13pm. On the first day of school, students should proceed to their homerooms by 7:40. Faculty and staff members will be on hand to answer any questions and to point you in the right direction.
Masks – Masks must be worn to school. Mask breaks will take take place throughout the day.
Lunch – Lunch times are 10:45-11:13 or 11:29-11:57 except those Mondays when we have our 90 minute early release You may bring your own or get a free breakfast/lunch from the Cafeteria. A monthly menu will be posted on the school’s website.
Homeroom/G Period Study/Schedules – The homeroom/G period study assignments and class schedules will be available in the ASPEN portal. Information on accessing this portal will be coming soon from our Technology Department. On the first day, schedules will be handed out in homerooms by teachers. Students will be given time to fill in their schedules and to go over expectations. Class assignments were created to meet both student’s individual needs as well as to keep classes balanced for size, gender, etc. Schedules will be available on Aspen as well.
As we move toward the opening of school, I am sure there will be some updated information to share. Until then please enjoy the rest of your summer and we look forward to seeing everyone soon!
Regards,
Al

Dress Code:
With the warmer days upon us, we would like you and your student(s) to be aware of the Student Dress Code which can be found in our Handbook which is on the middle school website at: https://www.tritonschools.
The following guidelines apply:
• There is an expectation that students dress in a manner that is appropriate for a place of work and study. Clothing is to be clean, comfortable, practical and in reasonably good repair.
• There is an expectation that school attire properly covers the body. Extremely tight fitting or unreasonably skimpy clothing is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, backless or strapless tops, shorts or skirts shorter than the fingertip length of that student‘s extended arm, and other garments that reveal midriff, cleavage or undergarments. Any tank top straps must be at least two fingers in width.
School issued team uniforms may be worn at individual coaches’ discretion.
• Clothing worn to school which causes disruption or distraction to the educational process is
prohibited. Such clothing may materially or substantially interfere with the operations of the
school. Articles of clothing, jewelry, etc. may cause disruption or distraction to the educational process if they display inappropriate language, any depiction of weapons, gang related flags or colors, insignias, or designs such as those advertising alcohol, drugs or sexual material, or containing slurs regarding race, ethnicity, religion, disabilities, or sexual orientation.
• Footwear must be worn at all times. The School Committee encourages the wearing of footwear that provides healthy support and protection through the school day. • Outdoor clothing such as hats, coats, and jackets, is not to be worn in the building except in times of unusually low building temperature. Such clothing should be stored in lockers during the school day. Wearing or carrying hats is prohibited (hats must be secured in backpacks or lockers). Hoods or bandannas (worn or displayed) may not be worn in the school building at any time. Outdoor clothing that is worn indoors (including hats) may be taken from the students during the school day and returned to the student at the end of the school day. Triton School District will hold no responsibility or involvement should there be a theft or loss of any such clothing.
• Some areas such as technology education, science, and physical education may have specific dress requirements to ensure the personal safety of the student.
Under Massachusetts General law Chapter 71, Section 83, school authorities may intervene if student dress is not consistent with reasonable standards of safety, health, and cleanliness. Staff persons should send violators to the office. Responses to non-compliance with this policy may include, but are not limited to, requiring the student to wear clean alternative clothing supplied by the school or requiring the student’s family to bring appropriate clothing to the school.

A Message From The Nurse:
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Massachusetts General Law, chapter 76, section 15 outlines school immunization regulations for students entering grade seven. The above law mandates that all students not in compliance with these regulations be excluded from school. To avoid this situation for your child, the appropriate documentation must be provided to the Middle School Nurse by Tuesday October 5, 2021, or your child will be excluded from school beginning Tuesday, October 5.
Please send all documentation to the Triton Middle School Nurse via US Mail or Fax to the address/number listed above. You may also bring this information to the middle school office over the summer. If you have not complied with this law by providing proof that your child has received the proper immunizations, please do not send your child to school beginning on Tuesday, October 5, 2021. The school is required by law to send your child home if he/she is sent to school on this day and each day thereafter while remaining out of compliance with this immunization law.
The required immunizations for your child to enter 7th grade are as follows:
1 dose Tdap (Tetanus) if more than 5 years since last DTap, DT, or Td vaccine
1 dose MenACYW (Meningitis)
Immunization Exemptions: There are two situations in which children who are not appropriately immunized may be admitted to school:
A medical exemption is allowed if a physician submits documentation attesting that an immunization is medically contraindicated.
A religious exemption is allowed if a parent or guardian submits a written statement that immunizations conflict with their sincere religious beliefs.

For missing immunizations, please notify your child’s physician. For students without a physician, immunizations are available from the Haverhill Public Health Nurse at 978-374-2390, extension 15. Please Contact the Middle School Nurse for questions/concerns. .
Sincerely,
Claudia Small, RN, BSN, NCSN
