Family Perception Survey
The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education requires all school districts to administer an annual self evaluation and school perception survey.
The purpose of the evaluation is to document the district's efforts to create and maintain a school system that is non-discriminatory and accessible to all.
We invite you to complete this 10 minute survey as your voice is critical to inform this process and to understand the current state of equity within the district and your school. This survey is anonymous and will be used to surface trends so that we can continue to create a more equitable, inclusive, and accessible learning environment for each member of our community.
The survey is open from now until May 13, 2024.

A Visit With a Scientist
Miss Shruhan's 4th graders participated in the Skype A Scientist program today. They had a Zoom meeting with a scientist from Salisbury University in Maryland who is studying bat sounds. They connected this to their learning on animal structures and adaptations. The kiddos had the opportunity to ask questions and learned about what it is like to be a scientist.
