Welcome To The Aborn Elementary School

“Students come to school… seeking themselves. Like all humans, they are looking for a sense of their own meanings, roles, and possibilities.”   Tomlinson and McTighe

At the Aborn elementary school we never forget the above fact. It is our job and our mission, to work closely with parents and other members of the community to create students who enjoy the process of learning, attain the 21st century skills they need to lead successful lives, and in that process, discover their talents and ultimately themselves.  

We do this within the context of standards-based instruction and assessment, as well as a mindful focus on developing a character that includes responsibility, good decision-making, and empathy for others. These are things that students will carry with them throughout their lives.

Our staff members value the following responsive approaches to teaching:

  • Find ways to get to know students
  • Incorporate opportunities for small group teaching and activities into weekly routines
  • Teach to the high end and state expectations clearly
  • Offer multiple ways to explore learning
  • Teach with different learning styles in mind
  • Frequently monitor student understanding.

We welcome you to join us in our efforts to guide the journey of our next generation.
Feel free to peruse the pages of our website, which we will be updating throughout the year.

If you have any questions or contributions, feel free to contact us!

Sincerely,

List Public Notice to comply with P.L. 107-1 10, Section1111 (h) (6) (A)
 

The Federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 requires school districts that receive federal Title I funding to notify parents of their right to know the professional qualifications of the classroom teachers who instruct their child.

As a recipient of these funds, the Lynn Public Schools will provide you with this information in a timely manner if you request it. Specifically, you have the right to request the following information about each of your child's classroom teachers.

• Whether the teacher meets the state qualifications and licensing criteria for the grades and subjects he/she teaches.

• Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or provisional status because of special circumstances.

• The teacher's college major, whether the teacher has any advanced degrees, and the field of discipline of the certification or degree.

• Whether paraprofessionals provide services to your child and, if so, their qualifications.

The Lynn Public School System is committed to providing quality instruction for all students and does so by employing the most qualified individuals to teach and support each student in the classroom. If you would like information about the qualifications of your child's teachers, you may contact the principal of your child's school.

  Lynn Schools Healthy Meals Program
The Lynn School Food Service Program is comprised of a partnership between Preferred Meals Systems and Chartwells. Over the past five years some of their accomplishments include: adding more Balanced Choice meals and "Better for you" snacks;  adding more fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains to our menus at all grade levels. Removing all fried foods from the menu and zero trans-fat in all foods. Look fore more exciting changes to come in the near future. Click here for School Lunch Menus and Food Program
  Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System
The Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) is designed to meet the requirements of the Education Reform Law of 1993. This law specifies that the testing program must

- Test all public school students in Massachusetts, including students with disabilities and English Language Learner students;
- Measure performance based on the Massachusetts Curriculum Framework learning standards;
- Report on the performance of individual students, schools, and districts.

As required by the Education Reform Law, students must pass the grade 10 tests in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics and one of the four high school Science and Technology Engineering tests as one condition of eligibility for a high school diploma (in addition to fulfilling local requirements).

In addition, the MCAS program is used to hold schools and districts accountable, on a yearly basis, for the progress they have made toward the objective of the No Child Left Behind Law that all students be proficient in Reading and Mathematics by 2014. http://www.doe.mass.edu/mcas/

  Mass DOE School and District Profiles
The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education collects a variety of data from schools and districts in the state, some of which is published as a School or District Profile. Directories, reports and people from individual organizations can also be found here.

MCAS | 2013 - Updated Friday, March 22, 2013

There are currently many changes going on at the state and national levels in regard to curriculum, instruction, and assessment. These changes have a direct connection to, and impact on, what is happening in our district, school, and classrooms. Expectations are becoming more rigorous as there is a much greater emphasis on making sure that students who leave our doors are ready for middle school, high school, and ultimately, for the college or career of their choice.

Within the pages of our MCAS Analysis document (below) you will find an analysis of each grade level’s performance on the 2012 MCAS from a school-wide perspective. As often as possible, the PIM team and I have tried to report previous year’s data to better see trends, achievements, and gaps. We work together to review data through our own unique lenses and then share that perspective for the purpose of improving student programming and achievement. Download the document below for complete details.

Please check back here for MCAS preparation tips, schedules and more as they become available.
