The Hadley Elementary School is an average
size elementary school (PreK-6) located in the small suburban
town of Hadley, Massachusetts. Our kindergarten - grade 6
student population has averaged about 330 students each year
for the period 2000-2008. Current K-6 student enrollment is
329 students with an average class size of 21 students.
It is our unwavering belief that every
child enrolled in Hadley Elementary School is capable of
becoming a successful learner regardless of his/her life
experiences or circumstances, but not necessarily at the same
pace or in the same way. Therefore, every student entrusted
to our tutelage will be treated as a valued learner who
possesses innate and unique learning potential. Given this
belief as the premise and motivating influence for our work as
educators, our school mission is to provide a safe and
supportive learning environment where we offer high quality
educational opportunities for diverse student learners to
achieve their individual potential, thus preparing them to
assume a contributory role as productive members in our
democratic society.
At
Hadley Elementary School there is frequent, ongoing, and
effective communication between and among administrators,
teachers, and staff who work with synergy and in harmony to
fulfill our school mission. The curriculum for each grade
level is developed, regularly and continuously updated, and
taught in alignment with the Massachusetts Department of
Education’s Curriculum Frameworks/Learning Standards for the
purpose of attaining high student academic achievement and
performance.
The
Hadley Elementary School teaching faculty and support staff
are provided opportunities for ongoing training and
professional development requisite for developing and
maintaining a high level of professional competence, skill,
and performance effectiveness.
Spring 2008 MCAS test results for grades
3-6 continued to be strong, enabling Hadley Elementary School
to make its 2008 Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for both
English Language Arts and Mathematics – a measure of
improvement toward student proficiency required by the Federal
No Child Left Behind Act. Having made our 2008
AYP kept in tact HES’ record of attaining its annual AYP every
year since its inception in 2000. Such strong student
academic performance reflects the conscientious efforts of
Hadley Elementary School’s highly qualified and skillful
teachers, bright and committed student learners, and
supportive parents.
