15 | ACTON-BOXBOROUGH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT | ANNUAL REPORT 2023–2024
During the 2023–2024 school year, students in Luther Conant Elementary School continued to grow, learn and celebrate their accomplishments. Kindergarten through Sixth Grade teachers and students invested many hours in the new EL curriculum; implementing and embracing this com- prehensive, research-informed, core language arts program that engages teachers and students through compelling, real-world content. Both students and teachers expressed an excitement for continuing implementation next year. • The month of March was filled with celebrations of all things literacy. Conant School had reading contests, author visits, recorded read alouds by special guests, and the creation of a bulletin board that creatively listed the favorite book title of every Conant student. • Conant specialists, classroom teachers, instructional coaches and special educators collaborated to refine the expectations, protocols and expected outcomes within an MTSS (Multi-Tiered Systems of Support) model based on shared responsibility for students and an effective use of universally collected data. Through the use of regular data team meetings students who needed additional support were identified and placed in targeted instructional groups for intensive support. • The Conant Student Council and Green Team members were a positive school community presence throughout the school year. Conant students, who were elected or chosen to be a part of these important leadership groups, contributed to the school and wider community through supply drives, public education announcements and local service projects. There was also a great deal of community building and fun at Conant School this year. The second annual Fall Fest was again a favorite of students and staff, the PTO sponsored Conant Carnival was attended by many families despite the unstable weather, and everyone’s favorite Conant tradition, Polar Pride , was an event that did not disappoint. The Luther Conant School also welcomed a new principal this year, Dr. Tricia O’Reilly, who is delighted to be part of such a special community.
