Process underway to name new elementary school; community input sought

by | Jan 29, 2024 | Education,

The School Committee, in keeping with its Policy FF-Naming of Facilities or Events, is beginning the process of naming the Elmwood School replacement building, which will be a Grade 2-4 school situated next to the Marathon Elementary School on Hayden Rowe Street.

At its regularly scheduled meeting on Jan. 18, the School Committee publicly announced its intent to name the new building. Now, the committee is seeking community input.

Two opportunities at regular School Committee meetings will be available for community members to share suggestions for the name of the new building: Thursday, Feb. 1, and Thursday, Feb. 15.

People also can share suggestions with the superintendent — or ask questions about the process — by email at ccavanaugh@hopkinton.k12.ma.us or gwagar@hopkinton.k12.ma.us.

The official naming of the Elmwood replacement school will take place at the School Committee meeting on March 21.
