Somerville Public Schools invites parents and guardians to participate in interactive Listening Sessions with SPS administrators, including two new evening sessions in January and February. Each 90-minute session will have a different focus and will be a chance for you to share what's working well and how we can improve.
Our November session was very well-attended and highly informative - please consider joining us for a future Listening Session!
