Overview: At Schofield, staff, students and parents work together to create and maintain a positive and enriching environment for children to learn and grow. Parent involvement and communications between home and school receive top priority. The Schofield community benefits in many ways from an active and supportive Schofield PTO. Some of these benefits include significant physical improvements such as the new playground and renovated inner courtyard. Other enhancements are ongoing throughout each year. For example, the Creative Arts Committee provides many wonderful events to enhance the curriculum, as well as a Science Residency across K-5. Recent Accomplishments: • Wellesley Public Schools is utilizing a Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) framework to strengthen and support academic and social-emotional learning for all students.
