Curriculum Overview

In the Hampden Wilbraham Regional School District we value our partnership with families in supporting all aspects of your child’s education and growth.

We encourage home-school communication with teachers reaching out to families and families checking in on their child's progress with the teacher.

Learning standards are established by grade level and are an indication of what a student should know and be able to do at the end of that school year. 
The academic areas will feature proficiency levels of: M, P, B, or N.

  • M= Mastery

    indicates that a student demonstrates understanding of the knowledge and skills of the standard consistently and independently with learning materials that are at grade level.  For example, independently asking and answering questions in a fictional text that is appropriate for the end of grade 2. 

  • P= Progressing

    ndicates that a student is on track to master the skill by the end of the year and is performing at a level appropriate for that time of the school year. They will continue to practice this learning and expand their understanding over the school year.  Most students will be progressing in their understanding of standards in the first few terms. 

  • B= Beginning to Progress

    Indicates that a student is approaching the expected track for development of the knowledge and skills of that standard; additional supports and time to build that understanding is needed. 

  • N= Not Yet Demonstrating Progress

    Indicates that the student has not shown evidence of understanding of the knowledge and skills; significant supports are needed to help the student make progress towards mastery.
