RSBC: Elementary Building Project Update:

If you missed last week’s forum on enrollment choice and grade level changes, the presentation and recording are available at RobinsonSchoolProject.com. Within the slides are two brief surveys to help rank the decision criteria on what enrollment size the project should be and whether the preschool program should be centralized. We will accept inputs until 9/21, before the School Committee considers their vote. Save the date for our next forum, Wednesday, Oct 14, at 6:30pm on Zoom and at Stony. Thank you! 

Next School Committee Meeting 9/22

How big should a new school be? Join us on 9/22 at 7pm at the Millennium building or online for our next meeting, where we’ll discuss enrollment options for the Robinson School Building project. This is the first of three meetings in which the Committee will discuss whether a new school building should accommodate 470, 705, or 1,065 students. The Committee will vote on the final enrollment decision on 10/19. If you have questions or opinions to share, now is the time! 

Questions? Feedback? Drop by early from 6 to 7pm in person for office hours with a committee member or email us at school-committee@westfordma.gov. We’d love to hear from you!
