Millbury District and Curriculum
Millbury Public Schools consist of three schools and approximately 1,800 students. The district’s mission is to provide a safe environment where everyone is accepting of each other and that prepares students to contribute in a way that makes the world a better place for themselves and the generation that follows them. According to Millbury Public Schools’ Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment, the curricular focuses for the 2014-15 school year include the implementation of a new math curriculum in grades K-8, the third year of the Millbury Educator Evaluation System, and the construction of a district-wide professional development committee.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Millbury District Curriculum
Millbury’s elementary level learners participate in an English language arts curriculum that helps them acquire effective writing abilities. Students learn how to introduce a topic effectively, including developing an introductory paragraph that summarizes the points the writer will discuss. Making transitions from one idea to the next is another primary point of emphasis. Learners develop the necessary vocabulary to make those transitions in a seamless manner. Developing key ideas and details is a skill students acquire as well.
High school students in Millbury take part in a social studies curriculum that explores the period between World War I and World War II. Learners examine the manner in which World War I ended, and how that conflict propelled the United States into the position of global superpower. The 1920s are explored as well, with students identifying the social and cultural shifts that occurred throughout the Roaring 20s. The Great Depression is also a topic of discussion. Learners identify the causes of the market crash and how the New Deal and other programs under President Roosevelt helped, in part, to extract the country from the depression.

- Millbury Names New Superintendent - After conducting a lengthy and thorough search involving dozens of candidates, Millbury Public Schools named 43-year-old Greg Myers their superintendent. He had previously been a principal, assistant principal, English teacher, and athletic director at other districts. Myers is known for being collaborative and easy to work with, favoring a student-centered approach, and having a strong grasp of new initiatives such as Common Core and PARCC. The most important thing for the new superintendent, who hopes to retire at Millbury, is to always do what is in the best interest of the students.

Chalk Talk: Notes and Letters to Parents
Traditional elementary classrooms often send notes and letters home to parents on a daily basis. This is a way for schools and teachers to connect with parents and send them reminders. Some of these materials may be generated by the school, while teachers will also send home personalized letters and notes. Parents will be sent papers asking them to volunteer for field trips, holiday parties, and just in the classroom in general. They will also be reminded when these events take place. They will also have to sign permission slips for students to attend field trips and participate in certain school or classroom events; they may have to give their permission for students to eat food in the classroom. Parents will be sent home cafeteria lunch menus and forms to add funds to their child’s lunch account. They will receive information about open house and parent-teacher conferences. All classroom teachers should have a regularly updated class newsletter that details what students are working on in the different content areas.
