Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Westford District Curriculum

The district uses the Common Core State Standards, which it explains as a revision of the Massachusetts Curriculum Framework to imbed the national standards. Eighteen classrooms in five schools in the district have been used as field PARCC assessment sites, and this standardized test may be fully implemented in the district in 2016. The PARCC assessment aligns with the new more rigorous standards and prepares students for college and their future careers.

Westford Academy places a strong emphasis on Advanced Placement education, offering such courses in studio art, biology, physics, chemistry, calculus, statistics, computer science, English literature, psychology, U.S. history, and several foreign languages. Also, students must complete a minimum number of these electives in order to be eligible for graduation their senior year. It is important to give students such a variety of course offerings to ensure that they are able to explore their future interests before entering college.

Keeping Informed: Recent Westford Educational News

  • Westford Brothers Awarded for Sustainable Sprinkler - Two brothers, 14 and 15 years of age, who would be attending Westford Academy, recently were awarded $1,000 for their water-saving sprinkler, which they entered in a global online Google Science Fair competition. Their sprinkler uses Machine Learning technology that allows its irrigation controller to decide when to shut off during unnecessary times, such as when it is raining. In comparison to a traditional timer-based sprinkler, the boys’ design saved 81 percent of water and a lot of money on their parents’ water bill!
  • Class of 2014 Graduation Stirs Up Mixed Emotions - Westford Academy saw 411 students graduate in 2014, and the ceremony was not without great nostalgia. One of the graduates was quite a bit different than all the others, as a 94-year-old woman finally received the high school diploma she had been dreaming of for decades; she had dropped out of high school at the age of 16 during the Great Depression in order to take a job in a factory. An impressive 98 percent of the graduates will attend college.
  • More about the Eldest Graduate - The 94-year-old Genevieve, who was mentioned in the article above, had only one regret in her life: that she hadn’t completed high school at Westford after her family wanted her to leave school to work in a factory 78 years earlier. Genevieve had watched each of her three children graduate from Westford Academy. The elder outreach coordinator of the Council reached out to Westford Academy after a conversation with Genevieve, and she began taking classes in April.

Chalk Talk: Prepping for the SAT

One of the most stressful times for many high school students is in preparing for the SAT college entrance exam. Students and their parents take this test very seriously, as their score are large factors in determining whether or not they are accepted to the colleges of their choice. Even if test takers are strong in reading, writing, and math—the subjects covered on the SAT—the test still requires preparation, as topics often differ from those taught in the classroom. There is not much time for high school teachers to provide instruction on the SAT—plus it does not fit in with schools’ curricula—so generally, the only prep that students receive is their experience taking the PSAT (practice exam) and perhaps a brief background on the SAT in their English and math classes. Students should always invest in at least one SAT prep book—editions are put out and annually updated by CollegeBoard, Kaplan, among others—that provide information on the content and format of the test, test-taking tips, and practice tests. Parents and students can read reviews on the books to see which they feel are the best before purchasing.
