Somerset District and Curriculum
Somerset Public Schools contain five schools and 2,700 students. With the new Somerset Berkley Regional High School comes innovative and unique academic opportunities for students. The school’s library media center offers students the opportunity to communicate with students from countries around the world through the VHS Collaborative. This distance-learning program also gives challenge-seeking students the opportunity to take courses that are not available in the traditional classrooms.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Somerset District Curriculum
In the traditional classroom, students are able to take unique English classes such as Creative Fiction and Nonfiction, Science Fiction and Fantasy in Print and Non-Print Media, and Modern Literary Criticism. For high school students who are struggling in reading and writing, the school’s reading specialist provides direct instruction through an intensive reading intervention program. The math curriculum prepares students for the real, math-based world in which they live and offers accelerated course options for students who wish to pursue math, science, or a related discipline in college.
Somerset also incorporates technology into the curriculum and has developed a set of High Priority Standards for grades K-8 based on the Massachusetts Technology Literacy Standards. The technology domains for grades K-5, which are the high priority areas, are basic operations (such as keyboarding), word processing, the Internet, ethics in using technology, Internet safety, and research. More complex domains such as databases, spreadsheets, and multimedia are included in the standards for grades 6-8.

In addition to obtaining information about registration, school hours, and school meals, parents were able to meet with the new principals at South and Chase Elementary schools.
- Ribbon Cut to Signal New High School’s Opening - Just before the 2014-15 school year began, there was a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of the new Somerset Berkley Regional High School. The school has a four-column design, with the façade constructed to resemble the old high school for familiarity purposes. The vice chairman of the Building Committee said the building was finished within the timeframe and budget.

Chalk Talk: What Do Kindergarteners Learn in ELA?
According to the Common Core Standards, in reading, kindergarten students should be able to ask and answer questions about key details in texts; retell parts of stories, including key details; and identify features such as characters, setting, and main events. They will likely need prompting and support from teachers in order to recognize and understand these key ideas and details from texts. On their own, in terms of the craft and structure of texts, they should be able to ask if they do not understand any words and recognize types of text (like storybooks and poetry). Again, with prompting and support, they can integrate some knowledge of and ideas about the text, such as discussing the relationship between illustrations and text in a story. Kindergarten students will have to demonstrate their foundational skills, which show their understanding of concepts of print, the alphabetic principle, and other grammatical conventions. They will be able to demonstrate their understanding of the organization and basic features of texts (such as reading from left to right, top to bottom, and page to page).
