Worcester Elementary School

Welcome to Worcester Elementary School! The curriculum at the elementary school level includes: English language arts (reading, writing, listening, and speaking), mathematics, science, and social studies. The keystone to our elementary program is a balanced literacy approach that emphasizes the acquisition of a scope and sequence of skills and strategies within the context of reading and writing to ensure that our students become lifelong learners and problem solvers. A developmental guidance curriculum is taught by counselors at all grade levels. Beyond the regular day, the elementary schools have a co-curricular program that includes special area teachers in art, vocal music, instrumental music, specialized curricular areas, health and physical education, speech therapy and English as a second language. Instructional assistants support teaching efforts in many ways. All classrooms are equipped with networked computers for enrichment in language arts and mathematics.

Worcester Elementary School is committed to providing students with a high-quality education within a welcoming and nurturing environment.  

Our Worcester Wolves understand their role in maintaining a safe learning environment, demonstrate respect for all, and assume responsibility for leading the PACK with:
