ACTON SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT 1953


The School Board respectfully submits the following re- port for the year 1953.


Firstly we wish to thank the several town departments and officers for their ready help in carrying out requests made by the School Department. We should also like to express our appreciation to the Finance Board for its advice and co- operation on matters of vital interest to the Town. Finally we should like to thank and congratulate the School Build- ing Committee for its untiring work and interest in school affairs, as evidenced by the fine Elementary school addition which was occupied in September.


With the completion of this building the housing of Acton's school children has been greatly improved, and we have been able for the first time in a number of years to move out of make-shift quarters. We feel, however, that it is only fair to say that we believe the school housing problem is one to which we can never write "finis". With this in mind we hope to see a plan formulated which will allow the abandonment of the three present village school buildings, within the forsee- able future, and the establishment of modern facilities to re- place them.


This year has seen the inauguration of the Two Platoon System at the High School level, because of increased en- rollment. We should like to thank the parents of children affected by this change for their help in making it work as well as it has worked. We do not, however, look upon the two session day as desirable, and we sincerely hope that an adequate overall housing situation in the near future will enable the schools to operate on the single session plan.


Your committee has endeavored to maintain the physical properties of the school department in a good state of repair. Our major job this year has been the installation of a new sewage field at the eastern end of the high school.


In concluding we wish to congratulate the individual members of the School Staff and the Superintendent of


4


Schools for their fine work in improving the quality and range of instruction offered to the Town's young folk, and for their increasing interest in better liaison with the parents of the children entrusted to them.

Housing


In Setember 1953 the opening of the new eight-room primary school and the operation of the Junior-Senior High School on a two-shift basis made it possible to house the Acton school population in regular school facilities for the first time in several years. However, the establishment of a new Sixth Grade at the Center in September 1954 will make it neces- sary to use the firehouse classroom again, and an additional section of the Third or Fifth Grade would have to be housed in an improvised classroom. To take care of the 100 pupil Third Grades of September 1955 and thereafter, and to re-

lieve the pressure on the village schools, it would seem desir- able to add at least four rooms to the present primary school so that it can house all of our Third Grade pupils as well as those in Grades One and Two. This would make the eleven rooms in the village schools available for Grades Four, Five, and Six, which will soon reach four-section proportions.


Two hundred and ninety nine pupils are using the high school building, with Grades Seven and Eight attending from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00, and the Senior High classes meeting from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. The two-shift plan should take care of the 330 students who will be in the Junior-Senior High classes in September, 1954 but will not provide space for the 400 enrollment anticipated in September 1955. Assuming that the Nagog Regional High School is ready for operation in September 1956, then some sort of improvisation beyond the two-shift plan would be necessary for only one year.


Instruction


The staff salary schedule, which recognizes training, ex- perience, and special duties, has been adjusted to changing economic conditions, and action of your school committee has now placed Acton in a position to retain able teachers even though their work has evoked tempting offers from other school systems. Illustrating this change for the benefit of Acton children is the contrast between the 35% teacher turnover of the summer of 1948 and the loss of only two faculty members to better paying positions in the summer of 1953. These two teachers, Miss Joan Dwane, and Mr. Joseph Sheehan, both resigned to accept appointments in their home towns of Norwood and Cambridge.

Future Additions to Faculty


Present indications are that an additional Commercial Teacher will be required for the High School, and that a third Sixth Grade, to take care of the advancing three-section 90-pupil Fifth Grade, will have to be established at the Center. Consideration has also been given to the possibility of having to establish a fifth section of the First Grade and a fourth section of the Third Grade in September. Due to increasing number of aliens eligible for naturalization in the town, provision has been made for starting an Americaniza- tion class in the fall, and if such a class is established, the State will pay one-half the cost of the teacher.


Books and Supplies


Acton school children are adequately supplied with texts, workbooks, paper, pencils, and other educational material, but in the interests of economy teachers are expected to exercise careful control over textbooks and the use of "ex- pendable" supplies. Efforts by the teacher to ration "ex- pendables" and the loss or misplacement of books and sup- plies by students sometimes give rise to erroneous reports that the schools are not providing certain items.


Plant Operation and Maintenance


The "two-shift" custodial plan for the high-primary unit has worked out successfully, with Head Custodian Louis Leveroni on duty mornings and afternoons and his assistant, Ole Garthe, working afternoons and evenings. This system has allowed for the cleaning of the High School after the Senior High pupils leave at 4:30. and has provided custodial service while a variety of evening activities takes place.


The "two-shift" operation of the High School has over- loaded the building in many ways and has emphasized its


15


shortcomings as far as lighting, sound transmission, sewage disposal, ventilation, and heating are concerned. Emergency changes in the electrical circuits and the sewage disposal systems were carried out during 1953, and the hot water supply situation was improved, but it has been evident for some time that a major rehabilitation project should be under- taken at the earliest opportunity. In addition, since popu- lation pressure precludes the abandonment of the three village schools until the distant future, prudent management indi- cates that these should be maintained at maximum efficiency. Consequently, the School Committee has made budget pro- visions for securing engineering and architectural advice on the problem of improving our existing school facilities.


Auxiliary Agencies


Transportation. One of the most expensive aspects of the Two-Shift operation of the High School has been the in- crease in school bus costs made necessary by extra trips at noon, early morning, and late afternoon. Carrying out the policy of providing transportation for the large majority of Acton youngsters and thereby reducing the "walking-on- the-highway" hazard is expensive, but it pays dividends in safety, and fortunately the State makes a substantial con- tribution toward this cost.


Cafeteria. Under the capable management of Mrs. Anne Rimbach, assisted by Mrs. Minnie Campbell and Mrs. Bertha Tucker and a staff of junior and senior high volunteer girl workers, the new cafeteria has been operated at no expense to the town since its opening in September. The lunch room serves an average of two hundred well-balanced meals daily, each constituting one-third of a child's daily nutritional re- quirements, and a substantial Federal-State subsidy plus the use of surplus government commodities help to keep the cost of each meal down to twenty-five cents. Since Sep- tember the cafeteria and village school milk funds have been handled by Mrs. Rimbach through the Special School Lunch Account of the Town Treasurer, and this consolidation has


16


made it possible to dispense with the $200 local subsidy hitherto provided each year by a "Special School Lunch Account Article" in the Annual Town Meeting Warrant.


Capital Outlay


Purchase of school "sentinel" signs to be placed at the side of the roadways at the various schools is contemplated now that the regulations of the State Department of Public Utilities allow the use of certain approved warning signs of this type. Another addition to school safety will be the in- stallation of chain link fence along Nagog Hill Road from the Center School driveway.


School Department Policies


To clarify specific areas of misunderstanding regarding school policies this portion of the Report will be devoted to answering some important recurring questions :


Are the children who take the cafeteria meal required to eat everything on their plates?


No, but "seconds" are not given until the main com- ponents of the meal have been finished.


What determines whether or not the No School Signal will be sounded?


Driving conditions, because most Acton students are transported to school. Parents can appraise the weather and other circumstances involved in getting their children to schcol, and should feel free to make their own decisions. Heavy rain does not make a significant decrease in Acton's school attendance.


How do the schools guard against releasing a child into the custody of an improper person?


By checking back on telephone calls purporting to come from a parent, and by making sure that the child knows the


17


person to whom he is released. If a child is to vary his usual schedule he should present a note authorizing this, and if he is to be called for by someone unknown to the teacher the teacher should be notified in advance.


How can I guard against the child's losing things at school?


Print his name on his lunch-box, on each rubber and overshoe, and on all popular-styled clothing. Every year large amounts of valuable unclaimed clothing are given to the Save the Children Federation, and countless pencils, fountain pens, wallets, etc. are disposed of at a special auction.


How should I arrange for a conference with a teacher?


Teachers welcome conferences with parents because such meetings offer the most effective way of developing home- school cooperation. However, adequate conferences cannot be held during chance meetings at PTA or other social func- tions, and should be held at the school where records and samples of work are available. Appointments may be made directly with the teacher or through the building principal, and if necessary, arrangements will be made for conferences at times other than school hours. To provide for the conduct of classes while the teacher is conferring with a parent, the school department will arrange to have substitute teachers available on Wednesdays. This will allow regular teachers to leave their classes for pre-arranged appointments, and one half hour will be allotted for each conference.


Is there a curriculum guide for the work done in the lower grades?


Yes, the Primary and Elementary Grade Curriculum Guides published by the Massachusetts Department of Edu- cation.


Do the Acton schools have a program of achievement and ability testing?


18


Yes. Guidance Directors Ruth Proctor and Maureen Conlon and the members of the faculty give standard tests as a basis for individualized instruction, remedial work. and grouping in the Junior High School. 11th Grade testing by the Boston University Testing Bureau provides valuable data used in the educational and vocational counseling of Juniors and Seniors.


What have been the accomplishments of the Acton Physi- cal Education program besides producing championship teams?


The championship teams have been a development of an "Athletics for All" program which is rapidly expanding in spite of the obstacles imposed by the "two-shift" system at the high school. Acton maintains Junior Varsity, Junior High, and Elementary School teams, as well as the Varsity squads, and is represented in interscholastic competition in Field Hockey, Soccer, Rifle Shooting, Basketball, and Base- ball.


Can a student prepare for any college at Acton High School?


Yes, recent AHS graduates are now attending Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston University, New Hampshire University, University of Massachusetts, Simmons, Framingham, Bridgewater, and Lowell State Teach- ers Colleges, and many other collegiate institutions.


Is group insurance available for Acton school children?


Yes. $1.25 a year premium for participation in liberal- benefit group accident insurance plan.


Reading Improvement


The remedial work started in 1950 by Mrs. Katherine Foley on a part-time basis, and expanded last year by Miss


19


Maureen Conlon as a full-time teacher, was so successful in helping many youngsters to overcome a variety of reading difficulties, that it has been expanded again by utilizing the services of both teachers. Since there has long been a great need for special help for those whose abilities lie in non- academic directions, the new arrangement will allow Miss Conlon to devote mornings to the individualized development of certain skills outside of the scope of the ordinary class.


Acton people are taking an increasing pride in their school system which through its faculty is constantly striving to implement the policies established by the School Commit- tee. Chosen directly by the voters and in close touch with the people of the Town, the six School-Committeemen are charged by the Commonwealth with the serious responsibility of providing the education of the community's children, and their oft-expressed conviction that Acton youngsters "deserve the best" augurs well for our boys and girls. Association with the present committee-members has been a source of inspiration for all members of the staff, and continuation of such fine support on the policy level should enable the Acton schools to move closer to worthy educational goals in 1954. .
