Choosing an Elementary School

Here are notes on the schools we've been looking at for next year.

Lesley Ellis
Loved it

Atrium
Nice, but not as nice as Lesley Ellis

Hosmer
617-926-7765
Secretaries: Deborah Brown, Terry Stafford

Talked to Terry:

January town-wide information night.

Pre-K: two-year program with same teachers, first year Pre-K paying $5800/year, second year K not paying. Must be 4 by Sept. 7. Music, art, gym, eat in cafeteria. 8:15-2:30.

Class size 15-18 with one teacher and one teacher's aide. (need to talk to Principal to find out if aide is there all the time – may be a special ed aide).

Can a student enter the Pre-K/K as K?
Not normal but sometimes a child might move in if there's a slot open.

To observe, talk to guidance dept. Jessica Maloney is out on maternity leave. 617-926-7743 or 44.

Registration opens in January. First come first served. $580 deposit. 7-8 slots. Priority placement to fall birthdays. Be prepared to do deposit at the meeting.

Hosmer also has 2 Ks, a K-1, and a K-1-2. Try to stay around 18/class. Most classes have an aide all the time.
