MHS Principal Mastrangelo and Superintendent Dr. Sippel greet and introduce them to operations at Malden’s secondary education hub
By Steve Freker
The students have already returned and the nearly 2,000 matriculating at Malden High School for the past several weeks are off to a great start. It was time for the parents and caregivers to check in and make a visit this past Thursday night, September 19, with Malden High School eighth-year Principal Chris Mastrangelo, his staff and representatives from central administration. Included was Malden Superintendent of Schools Dr. Timothy Sippel, who was on hand to meet some of those who attended.
A two-hour session was held to introduce the parents and caregivers to operations at Malden’s secondary education hub. As has been the case at similar events, Malden High School has hosted already this year and toward the end of last year, this was a well-attended and productive event, according to Mastrangelo.
“We had just over 300 parents, caregivers and other family members in attendance,” the MHS Principal said. “It was great to see so many of our students’ family members take the time to come and see what Malden High School is about and with whom their students are interacting each day.”
The evening started in the historic Jenkins Auditorium at the school with a presentation by Mastrangelo, who used slides to introduce key staff members and to pass along pertinent information on how the school day is set up, along with new initiatives underway this year at the school.
Following the principal’s presentation, parents and caregivers were guided to follow their students’ schedules and visit each classroom where the classes are held. Educators in the classrooms gave synopses of their classes to the visitors and entertained brief questions when possible.
“It was a great night. The parents and caregivers were welcomed and informed and that is a key focal point of our school and our district as a whole this year – more and better communication,” Mastrangelo said. “We appreciate all the efforts made by our educators and staff which all contributed to our success for the evening.”
