Online Class Etiquette from EWSD

Teachers need your help in supervising and monitoring online behavior as students interact with new tools and methods.
- You have the right to tell us that you do not want your child to have their video camera enabled for video/audio conferencing (notify your teacher)
- Students should dress as they would when attending school
- Students should join the video conference from an appropriate space in the home (such as at a kitchen table, desk, common space, etc., not laying/sitting on their bed or walking around with the computer in their hands)
- Students should refrain from “showing their classmates around the house”

Our curriculum places the child at the center of learning as parents, faculty and staff join to support their academic, physical, social and emotional growth.

Summit Street School is one of five elementary schools in the Essex Westford School District. A neighborhood-based school, it serves 245 children in preschool through third grade.

Summer Session Success!

Students are able to make up for the lost time in the classroom caused by COVID, can try to get ahead, or learn skills they are interested in through enrichment classes.
