DEAR ACTON AND BOXBOROUGH COMMUNITY,
I’m proud to share highlights from the 2024–2025 school year. Our students and staff achieved so much despite funding constraints . Thanks to our amazing community, here’s what we accomplished: District-wide, we:
• Completed our Vision of a Graduate , focusing on Adaptability , Communication , Collaboration , Intellectual Curiosity , and Integrity . • Improved student outcomes with “Forefront,” a tool for using data for literacy and math support via MTSS . • Introduced Tiered Systems of Support at the Junior High and piloted a schedule to add support time into students’ days. • Expanded access to advanced coursework at the high school. • Improved student attendance district-wide. • Implemented the first pre-K-12 Social Emotional Learning and Bullying Prevention curriculum , Second Step . • Trained all grades 4-12 students on identifying and interrupting hate and bias speech . • Made special education processes clearer for families with new IEP forms. • Successfully supported a growing number of diverse students and families . • Strengthened cybersecurity and began planning for responsible AI use.
• Completed final borrowing for the Boardwalk Campus at a favorable 3% interest rate. • Rebuilt financial reserves and restored several key staff positions through successful community advocacy for increased state funding. This is a lot for one year and I encourage you to read the full annual report for more school-specific highlights! This year showcased the incredible strength of our Acton-Boxborough community.
