Race to the TopRace to the Top - Memorandum of Agreement

Westford applied for and received federal money for the Race to the Top Grant. This will be paid over 4 years. This grant asks states to focus on four assurances - standards; great teachers and leaders; school turnaround and data systems. Click here for more information.
curriculum2.jpgCommon Core State Standards?
When we refer to the Common Core State Standards, we are using shorthand for the revised Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks in English Language Arts and Mathematics, which incorporate these standards.

Massachusetts is one of more than 40 states which have adopted the Common Core State Standards into their curriculum frameworks in English Language Arts and Mathematics.


Field Trip Cancellation
Field trips are funded via parent donations and provide valuable educational benefits to students.  If there is a significant influenza outbreak in our school system, it may be necessary to cancel a field trip at the last minute.  Many organizations require prepayment for a field trip and do not offer refunds.  Therefore, in the event of a cancellation, a refund to parents may not be possible.  If a cancellation occurs and an organization offers a refund, we will make every effort to reschedule the trip or plan another field trip of equal educational value.
