From Teresa Murphy
Superintendent of Schools

I am thrilled to announce that the MA Teachers Association has selected our Mansfield Buildings & Grounds Association -- that is, our key team of custodians -- to showcase in their upcoming statewide publication. They are being recognized for the fine work they do, and I would add, particularly the outstanding commitment to our students, staff and schools that they have shown during the Covid 19 crisis. Congratulations!
**************
Also...
School Nurses are also very public figures for us at this time.
They are distributing the school bagged meals.
In addition, some of the school nurses are also working with Fire Chief Desrosier by rotating at the Fire Station to help with the management of the Covid 19 data.
For example, they check in with individuals who are quarantined, and they reach out to the close contacts of individuals.
This is not work that is generally taken on by school nurses, but these school professionals are registered nurses and by helping with the meal program and with EMS they are performing valuable public health services to our community.
To these people and the many others who work behind the scenes,
Thank You!

Vaping Help

Nearly 5 million U.S. teens use tobacco and few widely available and accessible resources designed for teens exist to help them stop. As a tobacco quitline provider helping thousands of people quit tobacco every year, National Jewish Health has launched an enhanced tobacco and vaping cessation program for teens under age 18 who want to stop using tobacco products, especially electronic cigarettes like JUUL.
The My Life, My Quit program combines best practices for youth tobacco cessation adapted to include vaping and new ways to reach a coach using live text messaging or online chat.
