Please report your student absent from school using the Attendance Absence Form located in PowerSchool. If you would like to have your student's absence excused, written documentation needs to be sent in to the main office within 10 days of the absence. This can be a signed note from a parent regarding the absence (due to extenuating circumstance) or a note confirming the absence by a licensed medical professional. If you need to dismiss your student early, written notification needs to be provided. This can be in the form of a note signed by a parent or guardian or an email to Nicole Cadigan at ncadigan@milforded.org. Thank you!

The Numeracy Support Center at Foran is available during every period of the day and one of Foran's math teachers is in there to help students with any mathematical questions. Students can drop in to Numeracy at any time during their study hall, no appointment needed. They can stay for as little or as long as they need to get their work done. All students need is a pass from their subject teacher to come and receive help on homework assignments, SAT prep, or anything else math related. The Numeracy Center is located in room 329 before you enter green hall.

For a little back-to-school fun students in Ms Hudson’s photo classes worked in teams to create spaghellow lions. A spaghellow lion isn’t a newly discovered species, it’s a lion created out of marshmallows and spaghetti. Working under a time constraint, each team had the same amount of marshmallow and pasta, but they could add additional materials as they desired. Even though teams were given specific protocols to follow, they has tons of creative freedom. Similar to artist Andy Goldsworthy, the photos are the only lasting evidence of their creations. Enjoy and Welcome Back Foran!

Lions created by Kyle Amos, Sophia Ayoub, Maddie Blue, Sidney Jean-Baptiste, Vivian Marcello, Amelia McGonigle, Riley Smith, Elizabeth Walsh, Austin Weiss
