Greetings Westborough Families,

I hope everyone had a restful and relaxing summer! The start of a new school year is always an exciting time, filled with the anticipation of welcoming students back to school.

As we prepare for the year ahead, I want to take a moment to recognize and thank the many people who have worked throughout the summer.  A special thank you goes to our Extended School Year (ESY) staff for the time, energy, and care they devoted to supporting our students throughout the summer. Their dedication helped students maintain skills, engage in routines, and stay connected to their school community.

I am also grateful to the many staff members who have spent their summer preparing for the year ahead…from planning and developing schedules to coordinating services and transportation, preparing classrooms, hiring new staff, and making sure our schools are ready for staff and students. Thank you for all you have done to help us start the school year!

The beginning of a school year always brings a renewed sense of possibility. It is an opportunity to build relationships, set goals, try new things, and create learning environments where every student feels welcomed, supported, and valued.

The Student Services team looks forward to partnering with our students, families, and staff throughout the coming year. We remain committed to providing the resources, supports, and services necessary for students to access learning in an equitable, inclusive environment. We are looking forward to a wonderful school year together!

Meg
