Sprague School Council

  • The law requires K-12 public schools to have a School Council

  • The law outlines four major areas of responsibility for councils:

 a.)Adopting educational goals for the school that are consistent with local educational policies and         statewide student performance standards

b.)Identifying the educational needs of students attending the school

c.)Reviewing the annual school building budget

d.)Formulating a school improvement plan

  • The council consists of staff members and parents of students within the school

  • The council can also include a community member

  • Sprague School is in need of 2 parents to join our School Council – please email me at petrowskyl@wellesleyps.org, if interested.  We would love to have you!

 

Peer Mentoring

The Peer Mentoring program pairs selected Wellesley High School students with interested Sprague students.  Once a week, high school mentors come to Sprague to help students with homework and other needs.  This is a great opportunity for your child to receive additional help with homework after school on a regular basis! It also allows children to build a positive and supportive relationship with a local high school student.
