PTO - Supporting our Children!



I wish to thank the Chocksett PTO for their continued support for our many student activities and resources.

The PTO is looking to fill some board positions for the upcoming 12-13 school year. This is a wonderful opportunity to be directly involved in our school. The PTO provides the school with a wide variety of educational programs, school enrichment activities and clubs, and also much needed equipment and supplies for our classrooms.

Please consider helping out!  It doesn't take much time and it is so beneficial to our school!
We have many great volunteers in place to help.

If you have any questions, or would like to help out, please let us know by contacting
Sue Segalla, PTO Co-President @ (978-422-7793) or Margaret Morgan, Principal, at margaret_morgan@wrsd.net.

It is hard to believe that the end of the school year is rapidly approaching. The following is a listing of the Grade 8 end of year activities. Thank you to Ms. Petit and Ms. Mitchell, class advisors, and their colleagues for their work with the grade 8 class in organizing these events.

Upcoming Dates to Remember:

June 14th – 8th Grade Class Picnic
June 14th – Graduation 6:30 pm – Dance immediately following until 9:30 pm

 Class Picnic, Graduation and Dance:
It is hard to believe that Graduation is only a few weeks away.  There is so much to be done before the big day.  The Graduation Dance will immediately follow the Graduation Ceremony, and will run until 9:30 pm.

Graduation starts promptly at 6:30 pm in the Chocksett Gymnasium.  Students should arrive at 6:00 pm and meet their teachers in the Houghton Cafeteria.

If you would like to volunteer, chaperone the dance, or make a donation for the class picnic, please contact Ms. Mitchell (Kathy_Mitchell@wrsd.net) or Mrs. Petit (Marybeth_Petit@wrsd.net).

Six Flags Field Trip:
The 8th Grade field trip to Six Flags will take place on Tuesday, June 12th with a rain date of Wednesday June 13th.  The student’s admission includes the park admission fee, Water Park, and a lunch voucher.  If the rain date is needed a notification call will be sent via Connect Ed.
Students need to be at Chocksett at 7:45 am.  We depart at 8:00am SHARP!

Students must wear their class t-shirt the day of the field trip.

Lockers are available at Six Flags for a fee if students wish to bring dry clothing to change into for the bus ride home.

Food or drink may not be brought into the park.

All Chocksett Middle School handbook rules apply during this trip.

Student Recital - BRAVO!


On the evening of May 3rd, the Chocksett Theater was filled with incredible music. The audience was awed by the varied and inspiring student solo and/or duo performances; vocal and instrumental. 






A special thank you to Mrs. Basiul and Mrs Busby for their dedicated work in helping to prepare students for this second annual event. Congratulations to all participants!
