Stoughton District and Curriculum
Stoughton Public Schools consist of seven schools and 3,800 studwnts. There are five elementary schools with grades K-5, a middle school, and a high school. The district’s mission is to challenge students to excel and reach their maximum potential in an educational environment. Dawe Elementary expresses its guiding beliefs in a unique way by creating a vertical acrostic poem with each letter in the word dragons (the name of the district’s teams) representing a different belief: diversity, respect and responsibility, achievement, goals, opportunities, never give up, and safety.
We currently cover the following Stoughton-area school district: Stoughton Public Schools.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Stoughton District Curriculum
Stoughton Public Schools utilize the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks as well as the ISTE NETS for Students and Teachers (technology standards). The elementary grades use the Lexia Core 5 and Reading Street (Pearson) programs for literacy instruction and which helps students progress through reading levels at their pace. Goals of the literacy program is to develop fluency in all types of genre and to provide students with opportunities to respond to their reading in both writing and discussion.
As of now, the district continues to assess students using the MCAS state standardized test, and school board members are undecided as to whether or not they would like to transition over to the PARCC assessment, which better prepares students for college and their careers and aligns with the Common Core Standards. The new standards include objectives for developing skills such as creativity, collaboration and innovative thinking.

Keeping Informed: Recent Stoughton Educational News
- Graduating Elementary Students Welcome New Students in Unique Fashion - Ten graduating fifth grade students from Dawe Elementary School recorded a commercial welcoming future kindergarten students to the school and explaining the school’s classes, activities, and programs. In addition to the commercial being available on YouTube, it ran on a local cable TV channel. The talented students worked with the school’s technology teacher and district’s media director in planning, storyboarding, scripting, filming, and editing the commercial—a process that took several months to complete.

Chalk Talk: Educational Jargon: Performance
A student’s performance refers to his/her ability to apply his/her learning of the content in some way. Performances may include acting out a skit, giving an oral presentation, completing a written exam, designing a poster or PowerPoint presentation, writing a report, creating a newspaper, writing a journal, creating a video, etc. Basically, in educational terms, a performance is an action that shows whether or not the student met the objectives and standards of a lesson. Performances are linked to assessments; for example, an oral presentation is an assessment, while the student actually giving that presentation represents that child’s performance. Of course, student performances can be good or bad depending upon the criteria set for them and their understanding of the material that was taught.
