Greenfield Schools: 2008-2009
Moving Forward with Vision & Innovation

WELCOME BACK TO GREENFIELD'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS

We are busy planning for school opening with a commitment to choice, advancement, technology, and great teaching. We've worked to keep the programs our residents and students prize: responsive classroom; high school athletics under the direction of our Athletic Director, Mike Kuchieski; the extended learning program; literacy coordinators; and a strong commitment to instrumental and choral music beginning in grade 4.

School configuration for 2008-2009 has been carefully reconsidered and we will open as follows:

•Grades K-3 will be at Newton School and Federal Street.
•Grade 4 will be at Federal Street and the Middle School (parents--if you have a strong preference please call 772-1311).
•Grades 5-8 will be at the Middle School.
•Grades 9-12 will be at the High School.
•The Academy of Early Learning for students ages 3 and 4 will be at North Parish.

All over the country schools, towns, and cities are struggling with less funding and increased costs. Families are struggling, also. Fewer and fewer families have school-age children.

We will continue to provide quality public education with energy and talent but also with innovation and restructuring. Just like our families, we will see how we can be more efficient.

I wish all our students and teachers a wonderful school start. Some people will be in new surroundings but after a few days these will be familiar surroundings.
