Dear Westborough Community,
As we appreciate this beautiful weather and round out the final weeks of the school year, I’d like to share several items with you.
At a recent meeting of the School Committee, the Social Studies Curriculum Review report was presented. This report was compiled by Assistant Superintendent Dr. Daniel Mayer based on the work of two committees appointed to study the updated History and Social Science Frameworks recently released by the state. These committees, consisting of Teachers, Department Heads, and Dr. Mayer, were tasked with determining the ways in which Westborough should update the district’s history and social science programs. The report provides the findings and recommendations from both committees.
I would also like to provide clarification around the Full Day Kindergarten study that was recently undertaken. Although the School Committee has voted in concept to move toward free full day kindergarten, it has not been implemented for the 2019-2020 school year. Once a plan has been finalized, the details will be shared.
