Curriculum and Program Development

The Boxford Elementary Schools maintain a website that contains detailed information
about our ongoing initiatives in curriculum, instruction and professional development.
These web-based resources can be located at
http://www.tritownschoolunion.com/district/curriculum-0.

Educators continue to implement lessons that align with the Massachusetts Frameworks
in English Language Arts and Mathematics and have participated in ongoing professional
development to support these subject areas since the adoption of the revised standards in
2010. The roll-out of the Fundations Language Word Study program is complete with the
implementation of the program in grade three. The Tri-Town Reading Committee began
developing Reading Units of Study for grades K-2. Teachers have volunteered to pilot
individual units and provide feedback to those developing the units. Massachusetts
officially adopted new Science and Technology/Engineering standards in spring of 2016.
The Tri-Town Science Committee spent the year evaluating Science programs and
identified two programs to pilot. The pilot took place in the fall of 2016 and the
Committee has made the recommendation to adopt the Scott Foresman Science program
for Pre-K, Inspire Science for Grades K-5 and iScience for Grade 6.

The Tri-Town School Union leadership team and the Masconomet leadership team meet
regularly throughout the school year to collaborate and communicate about curriculum,
