2024 District Report Card

Every year, each public school and school district in Massachusetts receives a report card.

Updated Title IX Grievance Procedures

As a result of recent rulings at the federal level, public schools are required to update their Title IX grievance procedures. Shawsheen's updated procedures can be viewed at the link below. That link is also available on the Principal page of the school website.
