Emma Hart Willard SchoolSalvatore Urso - Principal Dear Willard Families, We are excited to launch this new website as one way to communicate with you. Mr. Clapp, our Webmaster, is working with all members of the school community to refine and revise the information on these pages to develop a useful and “easy to use” tool. Please visit the site throughout the year for any new updates and changes. The 2008 – 2009 school year is off to a good start and our staff members are working hard to support your children to become the best readers, writers, mathematicians, musicians, artists, scientists, athletes, and thinkers they can be. Our school goal will target literacy as stated below: Our students will continue to increase their reading comprehension with a focus on examining the content and structure of text and making reader/text connections. The percentage of students at Willard School in grades 3, 4, and 5 who demonstrate mastery of Strands C and D of the CMT will increase 10% from the spring of 2008 to the spring of 2009. Additionally, the percentage of Willard School Students who achieve the grade level benchmark on the DRA2 will increase 10% at each grade level from the fall of 2008 to the spring of 2009. We hope you and your children have a great school year and look forward to a positive partnership in the common goal of maximizing the achievement of all of our students. Sincerely, Salvatore Urso Jen Derick |
