Community input played a vital role in shaping the vision for a new Parker Middle School. Students, parents and other stakeholders from around Chelmsford came together to share what they value in learning. All that information helped establish the framework for the educational plan and design for the new building. The video below shares more detail about the amount of work and collaboration that went into making the decision.

Chelmsford Public Schools is developing a new strategic plan to guide their work over the next several years. This plan will shape their priorities for teaching and learning, student support, and how we serve our families and community.

To get it right, they need to hear from you. They invite all students, families, staff, and community members to take a short survey (at the link below or scan the QR code) about what is working well in our schools and where they can improve. It takes about 5 minutes, and your responses will be anonymous.

Your feedback will go directly into their needs assessment and help shape the priorities in the final plan. The survey will close on Friday, October 30.

Thank you for your time and for your continued support of Chelmsford’s students.

First opening 60 years ago in 1967, the current Parker Middle School building has reached the end of its useful life. Although the facilities department has done a tremendous job keeping the building operational, it is in need of costly updates and upgrades. This video explains how a new school would not only help the district address overcrowding, but also allow us to better deliver a 21st century education for our students.
