Dear Parents & Caregivers:
Happy Spring! It is so nice to welcome the additional sunlight and the range of weather that evolves into April showers for the crocuses to bloom.
The Westborough Student Services Team offers a wide array of resources, supports, and services to ensure that students develop the necessary skills to access the curriculum in the most inclusive and least restrictive learning environment. Utilizing a skill-based approach toward student learning fosters the development of the whole child, while maximizing individual student potential.
Thank you for your continued support. The Student Services Team is extremely grateful for the commitment, collaboration, and feedback that we receive from families and caregivers to further inform and improve our practice. If questions arise, please contact your child’s homeroom teacher, special education liaison, counselor, or Student Services Coordinator. Here is a direct link to the annual Parent's Notice of Procedural Safeguards. If you have questions or concerns specific to your child’s IEP, or services, please feel free to contact your child’s school special education liaison.
A core value of the Westborough Public Schools is supporting the diversity, equity and inclusion of all students and we look forward to meeting and supporting the unique needs of our students exactly where they are.
Warm regards,
Sherrie
