After considerable study of all factors entering into the school housing situation in Chelmsford, your committee recommends that the town take the necessary steps to embark upon the construction of a 1200-pupil junior high school immediately and has prepared the follow- ing article for your consideration at the special town meeting to be held in the High School Auditorium, Monday, January 7, 1963, 8:00 P.M.


To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate or transfer from some account the sum of Seventy-Five Hundred Dollars ($7,500.00) to be used by the Elementary School Needs Committee for the purpose of securing preliminary plans, speci- fications and cost for the construction of a Junior High School and for such additions or alterations as may be necessary to renovate the old High School and the McFarlin School buildings for elementary school purposes.


Favorable action on this article will enable your School Needs Committee to begin architectural planning and cost estimating in order that plans and specifications for the new building may be presented to the Town as early in the year as possible.


The Committee also decided to ask for a small sum incorporated in the total amount to study the costs and to plan for work necessary at the old high school and McFarlin buildings on Billerica Road to make them suitable for elementary usage.

The School Committee of the Town of Chelmsford herewith presents its report for the year ending December 31, 1962, to the citizens of the Town.


This report has been prepared to provide the citizens of the Town with a description of progress in areas important to the operation of the school system and to provide some insight concerning new needs which result from growth and change.


Steadily increasing pupil enrollments and changing educational standards continue to impose new problems and requirements on our educational system.


STUDENT ENROLLMENT


Over-all school enrollment continues to increase sharply and will continue to do so until the current building rate levels off. The following table, in addition to showing the rapid population growth over the past years, is also the basis of some specific predictions of the school system's future size and, consequently, future needs.

Attention is called to the report of the Elementary School Needs and Building Committee published in this Annual Report of the Town and to its specific recommendations which the School Committee recom- mends that the citizens of the Town follow. Its non-school committee members: Mr. Cristy Pettee, Chairman; Mr. Philip E. Campbell, Secre- tary; Mr. Charles D. Harrington and Mr. Howard E. Humphrey, are to be commended for the outstanding work which they are doing.


SCHOOL PLANT


The South Row School is scheduled to open about the middle of January. For those pupils who are housed in temporary quarters or over-sized classes, it should be an exhilarating experience to move into their own new building.


Construction of the addition to the Senior High School is moving ahead on schedule. The expected date of completion has been set tenta- tively for early summer. The opening of these new facilities will avoid the possibility of double sessions in the high school next fall.


It is now abundantly clear that the unusual immigration of students into the lower grades will cause a shortage of classrooms in both the elementary and junior high school areas by September of 1964. The report of the Elementary School Needs and Building Committee indicate, in some detail, the future building problems faced by the Town. The building of a new junior high school would cushion the impact of in- creased enrollment at all levels. It is the hope of the School Committee that the Town will take action at the Special Town Meeting in January to appropriate an amount sufficient to secure preliminary plans, speci- fications and cost for the construction of a junior high school building and for such additions or alterations as may be necessary to renovate the old High School and McFarlin School buildings for elementary school purposes.


The construction of the proposed junior high school building will fill the gap in educational facilities that now exists between the elemen- tary and high school areas. Thus, the educational needs of students with differing levels of abilities will be taken care of better. In addition, this will provide solutions to such problems as the heating system, limited gymnasium facilities, inadequate cafeteria facilities, covered way be- tween the two buildings, etc. Action on these problems was deferred be- cause of the cost involved. It is the desire of the School Committee not to expend money on items which are classified as "temporary" until final action can be taken as to the best utilization of the old High School and McFarlin School buildings.

In common with other communities, Chelmsford continues to feel the pressures being generated by the universal competition for qualified and competent teachers. The supply of trained teachers continues to fall short of a rapidly expanding demand, and the result has been a continued upward movement in teaching and administration salary schedules.


The School Committee recognizes and approves the work of the administrative and teaching staff which is striving constantly to improve the quality of education and the encouragement of high standards within the school system. Because of the work of these people, the Chelmsford schools have gained a respected position for providing children with a broad, sound, and well-balanced education.


IN-SERVICE TRAINING


The School Committee provides in-service professional courses planned around specific subject areas to meet the needs of teachers on the job. This action was justified for two reasons: (1) Changes that have occurred in basic subject content and (2) Curricular changes that require extended knowledge on the part of the teachers.


In mathematics two courses have been available. Professor J. Frank- lin Fitzgerald of Boston University is completing a course in Modern Math for all Junior and Senior High teachers. The course emphasized the School Mathematics Study Group (SMSG) Program. In addition to such exploratory work, teachers are given ample opportunity to develop activities, experiences, and materials for use in their classrooms.


Professor Fitzgerald has also started a course in Modern Mathe- matics for all elementary school teachers. These teachers, too, are given ample opportunities to develop related activities, experiences and mate- rials for use in their own classrooms.


Next fall, a course in the Language Arts is planned for the elemen- tary teachers. This important subject area includes reading, oral and written language, spelling and handwriting.


In-service courses are an important investment in education that will benefit the children of Chelmsford. The "released time" which is


134


ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


allowed for these in-service programs allows a greater period of time for the teachers to work together. This is necessary if each teacher is to be kept informed about the program in other grades and schools about the context of courses and about methods of instructions.


CURRICULUM


Our purpose of education remains the same - to emphasize quality education in order to challenge the intellectual skills of every student. Thus, the four major educational areas continually receiving specific study and attention are Curriculum and Content of Courses, Quality and Effectiveness of Teaching, Recognition and Encouragement of Students, and Development of Intellectual Leadership.


EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION


Educational closed circuit television is now stimulating supplement- ary instruction to many of the classrooms in science, social studies, guidance and music.


Educational TV will improve the quality of education in the school system to a great degree. It is making possible many different kinds of improved learning opportunities which could not otherwise be provided for the children in the school system. In terms of increased efficiency in the use of personnel, materials, and resources - including better, fuller use of existing and future school plant - the Town's investment in its closed circuit television facilities is, to a large degree a self-liquid- ating investment.


Television is enabling administration to regroup a large number of pupils for a "team-teaching" approach, thus taking a greater advantage of individual teaching talents, skills, and abilities, and making better use of visual aids, instructional materials, and physical resources. It will make it possible to substantially reduce over-all work load and planning load for a large number of teachers, thus providing more available time to these teachers for more careful and thorough lesson preparation.


IN GENERAL


Reading, the first of the traditional three R's, still continues to be the first concern of our elementary schools. However, reading in schools cuts across all subject matter and is no longer an isolated school subject. Content subjects involve many new mental concepts to be gathered from the text each day. Our classroom teachers are constantly alert to see that children are learning to read with meaning. Most noteworthy is the stress placed on the teaching of phonics and the necessary develop- ment of the student's word power. With the rapid changes in our world of today, and as understanding and interpretation become increasingly important, schools must also train children to become critical readers.


Earlier exposure to mathematical concepts is general through all twelve grades. In the elementary grades, arithmetic is taught in mean- ingful and thought-provoking situations. Emphasis in teaching is upon the development of meaning, accuracy, and speed in both oral and written


135


ANNUAL, TOWN REPORT


.


Li


computations. Quantitative, directional and positional ideas in time and space are being developed, even in the primary grades. Experimental work employing the Cuisenaire Rod System is being carried on in one of the elementary schools.


Modern mathematics and algebra are being introduced in the junior high school curriculum. This will enable these students when they are high school seniors to be ready for a full year of work in an area of mathematics which is not now a part of the curriculum.


Several high school classes are using the School Mathematics Study Group approach with much success.


All courses of study are being very closely coordinated as element- ary, junior high and senior high principals, coordinators, and department heads work to develop programs for the entire Chelmsford School Sys- tem. An increasingly effective science program, which will include an additional science course in the high school curriculum, is one accomplish- ment of this group of school administrators.


Other areas presently under study are French, English and Social Studies.


The "team teaching" room in the addition to the High School will be used to combine classes for lectures and demonstrations by members of the various departments and will enable us to provide many different kinds of improved learning opportunities as well as increased use of personnel and resources.


Reports of the elementary principals and supervisors reveal varied procedures in challenging the "fast learning" children with positive results being realized. Rather than try to make individuals conform to a standard pattern, we are attempting to challenge every child in terms


136


ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


of his own unique abilities. Team learning, specialties, and other activities to provide for children at all ability levels are beginning to be much more common in our elementary grades.


Administrational leadership, combined with effective, cooperative work on the part of the teachers and supervisors, has been the basis for educational progress. There is a close relationship among all school personnel.


CORRECTIVE SPEECH PROGRAM


For the first time, we have the services of a full -time speech therapist in the elementary grades. As most of the minor speech difficulties show a gratifying response through a speech improvement program, emphasis has been placed on this type of program with the therapist guiding the classroom teacher. The most serious speech difficulties are handled directly by the speech therapist or, in extreme cases, referred to other agencies. This new service while gratifying to parent and teacher is most valuable to the child concerned.


ENRICHMENT COURSES


Summer School Sessions and Saturday Morning Classes continue to be both popular and self-supporting. These classes are planned to provide an opportunity for enrichment and serious study, not to serve as a tutoring or a "cramming" period.


GUIDANCE


It is interesting to note that 51% of last year's graduating class at Chelmsford High School have gone on for further education. This per- centage ranks high in the State.


Test data analyses continue to be used to identify weaknesses and strengths of the instructional program.


In order to guide students into the right courses, to evaluate the abilities of students to take these courses, to spot the under-achiever and to help him find the causes of the underachievement, and to help him to realize his potential, we have a staff of five professionals-three in the Guidance Office at the High School and two in the Guidance Office at the Junior High School. Great care has been taken to provide a suf- ficiently flexible pupil placement program.


Throughout the year, conferences are held by admissions officers from various colleges who meet with interested students for the purpose of orientation and explanation of admission requirements.


Chelmsford High School is one of the 1,500 testing centers for College Entrance Examination Boards in the United States. While it is primarily set up for our Chelmsford students, it does accommodate others from the surrounding areas.


SPECIAL EDUCATION


In the pursuit of our goal of providing facilities and curricula for all of the children and the recognition that every child is important, the Chelmsford School System has gained recognition for its classes for the


137


ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


mentally retarded children. To a large measure, this fact must be attri- buted to the teachers of these children who, in addition to their patience and skill in working with the handicapped, are dedicated to their pro- fession.


At present there are thirty-seven children enrolled in four separate classes, one at the Steadman Street School, one at the Westlands School, and two at the Junior High School. As the children progress to the classes at the Junior High School, a class must be established at the Senior High School level which would provide a suitable work-study program to aid them in developing useful skills and the ability to gain employment in the future.


SPECIAL NOTE CITIZENS COMMITTEE


The Citizens Advisory Committee, established last year and serving as a study group for the School Committee, has contributed much toward the establishment of a better educational system in Chelmsford. Its fifteen members have completed their first two projects which have been accepted by the School Committee.


The first project, a study of the need for an Adult Education Pro- gram resulted in the adoption of an evening program of education by the School Committee. The Adult Education Program offers courses in two areas: namely, Vocational and General Education. The Vocational courses offered are: Basic Sewing, Advanced Sewing, Cake Decorating, Knitting, Furniture Refinishing, and Slip Covers. The General Education division offers courses in: Beginning Typing, Advanced Typing, Short- hand, French, Art, Investments, Woodworking, and Public Speaking. At the present time, there are over 425 adults enrolled in this program. Mr. Frederick G. Bardsley, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, is Director of the program.


The second project was the compilation and distribution to the teachers in The Chelmsford Public School System of a Community Re- source Manual. This manual consists of a list of over 90 residents of Chelmsford who are willing to come into the classrooms and present a talk or show slides on such subjects as: Science, art, travel, vocations, foreign languages and hobbies. These presentations are used to sup- plement and enrich classroom teaching.


CAFETERIA


The School Lunch Program has shown considerable growth this year. Cafeteria receipts totaled $107,969.32 with an additional $45,350.32 reimbursed from the State and Federal Funds for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1962.


FEDERAL FUNDS


Chelmsford Public Schools are presently receiving several types of Federal Funds which are to be used for the direct improvement of the school system.


138


ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


Under Public Law 874 which provides financial assistance for these local educational agencies upon which the Federal Government has placed financial burdens determined under the provision of the Act, Chelmsford received $59,710.00.


Under Public Law 864, commonly known as the National Defense Education Act, Chelmsford received on a matching basis $17,738.21. These funds were received for projects submitted under Title III, "Enrichment and Strengthening Math, Science and Foreign Language," and Title V, "Improving School Guidance Programs." These Projects, prepared in cooperation with department heads, supervisors, principals and School Committee were designed to strengthen the science, math, and foreign language areas.


These funds have made possible the "Language Lab" in the Junior High School, television and special equipment for the improvement of science and mathematics, and materials and special services for the Guidance Department.


To a large degree these Federal Funds have made possible the great improvement in the educational standards of the Chelmsford School System as one of the criteria for a good school system are the materials and aids used in its instructional program. This has been accomplished through the use of these funds without any direct effect on the tax rate. Without this aid, it would have been most difficult to have attained our present high educational standards.


The Town again was most fortunate to have received $140,000.00 under Public Law 815 to be used for equipping the new school. This grant had made it possible for the school system to receive furniture and equipment, especially designed for today's teaching. The children and teachers are most fortunate to have the type and kind of equipment which will make conceptual learning less difficult.


IN MEMORIAM


PATRICK J. WELCH, Head Custodian at the North Elementary School was accidentally killed on September 8, 1962. His untimely death put an end to a career dedicated to the services of the chil- dren of Chelmsford, a career in which he earned the respect and affection of all - children - fellow workers - parents.


IN CONCLUSION


During the past several years a conscientious attempt has been made to improve school and parent communications. Special bulletins, schedules of special events, and other items of parent interest have been sent home or published. School-parent activities included: PTA meetings, Parent Orientation meetings, Open House, Science Fair, Parent Conferences, Annual Play, Talent Show, Music Concerts and special elementary pro- grams. Excellent attendance at these affairs indicated strong parent interest and appreciation of the overall school program. Throughout the


139


ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


year many individual conferences have been held by parents with teachers, guidance counselors and administrators. It is a definite policy of the school to encourage these individual conferences.


We are grateful to all who have assisted us in any way-all Town Boards and Committees, the Police, Fire and Highway Departments, the Parent-Teacher Associations, the School Building Committee, the Citi- zens Committee, and all interested citizens.


This report should not close without a word of appreciation for the devotion, professional alertness and competence of the personnel. Chelmsford schools form an enviable physical environment, but without the personnel, there could be no schools. Chelmsford's schools have a reputation for excellence as evidenced every year by the new families moving here because of the educational advantages. Maintaining and improving this quality is the responsibility of the personnel of the school system.


BUDGET ANALYSIS


This year's proposed budget again reflects the growth in school population as well as improved teaching services. The impact of the cur- rent building in the Town is reflected in the provision, among others for an additional 26 teachers.


The School Committee shares the general concern over the fact that adequate support of our public school system appears to involve the imposition of an increasingly heavy burden on our local tax structure. This concern has prompted us to attempt every possible economy in operations which does not threaten to impair our present educational standards or facilities. We still consider it our duty, however, to work for the continued maintenance and improvement of our standards.
