West Elementary School Goals

Our primary goals are to provide children with a foundation for lifelong learning and to challenge each child to reach his or her maximum potential

In concert with these goals are the recommendations set forth in the Massachusetts Common Core of Learning. If children are to succeed in the 21st century and meet the challenge of the future:

  • They will need to communicate effectively with others through reading, speaking, computing, the arts, and technology;
  • They will need to respect and understand people of different backgrounds in our diverse society;
  • They will need to understand environmental and other issues with world-wide implications;
  • They will need to make informed decisions for themselves, their families, their communities, and our country;
  • They will need to contribute to our society; and
  • They will need to take responsibility for their own behavior.
