Currently, the Agawam Public Schools does not have a parent-led SEPAC; and the special education department is looking for parent leaders to partner with. A meeting will be held on Tuesday, December 17th at 6:00 p.m. in the Peirce Conference Room of the Agawam Public Library.

Happy National Custodian Day!

Congratulations to the William P. Sapelli School who has been named a school of recognition by the Department of Secondary and Elementary Education as part of its annual accountability reporting process. The Department identifies a small number of Schools of Recognition. These schools demonstrate high achievement and high growth and meet or exceed accountability targets. Congratulations to the staff, students, and families of Sapelli school for all the hard work and commitment that went into reaching 93% of their targets on last year’s MCAS test, attendance, and language acquisition.

District Staff was busy all day yesterday attending Professional Development getting ready for the 2024 - 2025 school year.

Thank you to the Agawam High School Marching Band , Cheerleaders, and Colorguard for welcoming back our staff yesterday in style. It was a great way to start off the 2024-2025 school year. We were lucky to have student volunteers involved in our Convocation. Thank you to all who participated.
