Massachusetts STEM Week takes place from October 21-25 this year. We will be highlighting examples of the great work being done in our classrooms throughout the Stoughton Public Schools focusing on areas of science, technology, engineering, and math. STEM Week is an annual statewide effort to boost the interest, awareness, and ability for all learners to envision themselves in STEM education and employment opportunities. The theme for STEM Week this year is “STEM starts now” – at any age you can learn about STEM, from our youngest learners to adult learners. SPS offers a wide variety of STEM opportunities from PreK-12. Every student in SPS takes technology and engineering each year from K-5, STEM class in grades 6-8, and then students can choose engineering or computer science pathways in addition to the many math, business, and science courses offered at SHS. All of these courses are designed to expose students to real life applications and opportunities as well as prepare them for higher education or career skills. Be sure to check our social media pages this week to see examples of STEM education right here in the Stoughton Public Schools!
The Jones Early Childhood Center's PTO is hosting a "Touch a Truck" event this coming Saturday, October 26 from 10am-1pm at the Jones (rear parking lot via Park Ave.).

New or this school year, the Jones Early Childhood Center has a PTO (Parent Teacher Organization)!
Before the start of preschool, the Jones Early Childhood Center held an open house to give students and families a chance to visit the school and meet their teachers. Families could also stop by a table to find out about the new Jones Early Childhood Center PTO and pick up a Table Talks box from our friends at the Stoughton OASIS Coalition.
