Schoolwide silent reading starts the academic day. Specialty classes are offered to students on a rotating basis. Lunch and recess provide an opportunity for students to relax, eat, and mingle with other students. The day closes with a wrap up of the day's lessons. Homework, an integral part of the academic instruction, is assigned daily in support of teaching and learning.
Buses arrive, children depart, and the day has ended.
There were 619 students enrolled at the end of the 1999-2000 school year. Bilingual Education programs are offered in Other and Spanish. Our school needs improvement in meeting this district goal. The MCAS was designed to measure how well students, schools, and districts are performing on the state's learning standards contained in the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. These graphs show the growth for the same group of students who were in our school for the entire 1999-2000 school year.
