The Old Turnpike School currently
contains grades five through eight
under the supervision of Principal
William Petrick.
Our Pre-Kindergarten program,
entails four educational areas that
are dedicated to the new Tewksbury
Preschool, which houses two programs
for students classified as preschool
disabled, and offers speech
language, occupational therapy,
physical therapy and social skills
training.
Our
fifth graders are using a new
semi-departmentalized schedule which
has built in more academic time for
Social Studies and Science. Grades
six through eight have a modified
block schedule that uses subject
area specialists.
Our six-day cycle and activity periods have
provided opportunities for our
students to take advantage of
various music, art, guidance,
computer and geography offerings as
well as required GEPA and essential
skill reviews.
We
endeavor to encourage an enthusiasm
for learning, promote personal
excellence, and nurture an
appreciation and respect for oneself
and others.
