Welcome from Principal Mike Flanagan
I would like to take this opportunity to reintroduce myself to the Tyngsborough Public Schools. As a former teacher and administrator in Tyngsborough, it is with tremendous pride that I return as the principal of your middle school and high school. In two short years away, the Tyngsborough Public Schools have seen much change. What I am most pleased about is our continued commitment to student achievement.
Summer Reading and Study Guides
Summer reading is required for all students attending Tyngsborough High School for the 2010-11 school year.
All students will be tested in their English classes during the first week of school (test dates: Weds., Sept. 1, in all freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior English classes; Thursday, Sept. 2, for junior and senior students scheduled for English during periods 5A or 6A).
Reading counts for 10% of each student's Term 1 English grade (5% per book).
Study questions will be available online through the school website from the second week of June through the end of the summer (students may use these during test-taking in September; no other notes such as plot summaries from Sparknotes will be permitted):
