Overview: First and foremost, the mission of Sprague School is to enable all students to become committed, confident, and caring people who think and communicate about feelings, concepts, and ideas. We do this through an educational program that extends the principles and values of the system’s other six elementary schools. Starting with a common curriculum that establishes learning goals for each grade in each subject, our faculty takes time to carve individual paths for the range of different learners within our school. Alongside our academic goals, our expectations for building community have the following values at their core: Help, Effort, Appreciation, Respect, and Teamwork. Altogether, they are known as Sprague’s HEART values. 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. The district’s collective focus is on rigorous core instruction, as well as enrichment and intervention, to support all students in achieving benchmark expectations. • English Language Learner education is now provided in all elementary schools. • Equity Facilitators lead professional learning on diversity, equity, and inclusion to provide training on educational equity in schools.
