Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Saugus District Curriculum
The district provides curriculum maps for each content area and grade level. The curriculum maps are broken down into units—each including the relevant state standards, learning objectives, essential questions, teacher resources, media and technology resources, activities, and assessments. All grade levels have transitioned to much different math instruction with the adoption of the Common Core State Standards—this includes the use of a new textbook in the elementary grades.
In middle school, there is a focus on the Standards for Mathematical Practice, which are essential for student success in math. These standards include making sense of problems and being persistent in solving them, reasoning, constructing valid arguments and critiquing others, modeling with math in everyday situations, using mathematical tools strategically, being precise, and being able to describe mathematical thinking.

Keeping Informed: Recent Saugus Educational News
- Science Class Has Fun During Engineering Lesson - As an end-of the-year activity, students in a fourth grade science class at Veterans Memorial Elementary School performed the famous egg dropping experimenting in which the goal was to protect the eggs so that they would not break upon hitting the ground from a very high place. The students were responsible for designing their protection for their eggs, including deciding on the best materials to use. While the custodian dropped the eggs from the school’s roof, students waited anxiously to see the results.
- Sixth Grader Honored by State Representative - A sixth grade student at Belmonte Middle School took a trip to the Massachusetts State House to receive an award from the Massachusetts Letters about Literature program given to her by Representative Donald Wong, R-Saugus. Letters about Literature is a strong aspect of a national reading and writing program sponsored by the Library of Congress. The honoree was within the top two percent of letters written in 2014.

SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son’s math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son’s confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What’s particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

Chalk Talk: Educational Jargon: Praise
Praise is an educator’s verbal acknowledgement of good work or behavior by a student, group, or entire class. It may sound like a simple term, but the manner in which praise is given is a very important—yet often overlooked—part of education. Teachers will often say “great job” to their students, but this is not specific enough, as students may not know the reasoning for that praise. An example of praise that lets a student know exactly what he/she did right is as follows: “I liked how you used a diagram to represent how you solved the problem.” This type of praise not only can build students’ self-confidence but allows them to repeat such actions in the future since they can understand the source of the praise. Praise can also be referred to as [positive] feedback.
