Happy New Year and Exam Week Info

Happy New Year to Revere High School’s students and families!

One of the beautiful things about the school year is that several watershed moments allow students to put their focus on achieving reachable, short-term goals to make progress toward their long-range priorities. Winter Break is seen as the unofficial start of the year's second half, but it is more like making base camp before the final push to the mountain’s summit. At our PLC Day Class Meetings, I shared with our students that I break up their high school journey into eight semester-long segments. Each semester we have an opportunity to finalize credits, balance our ledgers, reflect on our progress toward our post-high school goals, adjust our plan, and start fresh with a new semester. Some semesters go smoothly, and some struggle, but they all end together. This finality is essential. It gives our students a chance to bank credits and positive experiences without the fear of moving backward, but it also stops the perpetuation of a negative impact from unfortunate circumstances or poor choices. Once the semester is over, we must move forward. 

Winter Break gives our students a chance to rest, refocus, and take control of what they have power over at the end of the first semester. When we return to school on Wednesday, January 4, 2023, we have eight school days before we start semester exams. Remind your student to take advantage of this opportunity to complete any missing assignments, earn all the points they can, prepare for their semester exams, and gain positive momentum and self-esteem for the second half of the school year. Students will be off of school on Monday, January 16, in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and on Friday, January 20, so our staff can grade exams, finalize report cards, and participate in professional development. Exams will be given in most classes between Tuesday, January 17, and Thursday, January 19. Here is the exam schedule:

PERIOD 7 EXAM (12:56 pm - 2:37 pm)


Since each student has a different order of classes, we will be adopting an open campus concept during exam week. Here are our rules and expectations:

  1. Students must report to all classes that they have an exam in during the time and period assigned. Attendance will be taken each exam period. If your student is absent from school during a period that they have an exam, the parent must call them off.

  2. Most classes will have exams, but there will be no exams for a few of our performance-based courses and study halls. If your student is enrolled in a class that will not give an exam, they do not have to be on campus, and you do not have to call them off of school. 

  3. Bus transportation will remain on its regular schedule. We will provide supervision in our cafeteria for students who must remain on campus during regular school hours. 

  4. Our cafeteria will have a regular lunch service on Tuesday, January 17, but we will offer limited service on the other exam days. 

  5. Since there are multiple exams on Tuesday and a traditional 5th-period class, we expect students only to enter and leave the building once during the day. For Tuesday, the 5th period is not optional, and students must remain in the building for lunches.  

  6. If you need clarification that your student needs to attend a specific exam period, please email that teacher directly. For all other questions, feel free to email or call me.

Have a wonderful start to 2023, and Go Minutemen!

  Hello, Students and Families from the Revere High School Classes of 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027! I hope that everyone is enjoying their summer. While the building is relatively quiet now, the sounds of the band practicing and the coaches' whistles will fill the air in just a few weeks. The 2023-24 school year is jammed packed with exciting events and opportunities for our students. I wanted to get you a few of the most critical dates so you can put them on your calendars. Transparent and effective communication is my goal. Any essential and timely information will be emailed to all parent/guardian registered accounts. I have also set up three avenues to connect and inform the parents, students, and community of all the wonderful things happening at RHS. We will use the RHS Calendar at the top of the Revere High School website ( https://www.revereschools.org ) as a constantly updated platform for all non-athletic events. This calendar is specific to the high school and is separate

August 1st RHS Family Message

  August 1, 2023 Happy August, Revere High School!!! I am so excited for the 2023-24 school year. We have so many amazing opportunities planned for our students and families. On June 28th, I emailed a list of important dates and general information regarding events that kick off the school year. If you are new to us or have misplaced the email, you can always find my parent/family communication archived at https://minutemenprincipal.blogspot.com/ As families are starting to prepare for the first day of school, buying supplies, and shopping for clothes, I want to share with you a few things. Drawstring bags are allowed in class, but backpacks are not - Revere High School is growing in numbers, and space is at a premium. Since many of our classes will be near capacity, there is not enough space for students to bring large, bulky bags to each class. Students may use a drawstring bag to help keep items organized, but they will be encouraged to keep most of their supplies in their locker
