They’re back! While students will be joining us on Thursday, West Springfield Public Schools teachers and staff officially kicked off the 2026–2027 school year at Convocation.

Bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and ready for a busy year ahead, our educators gathered to reconnect, prepare, and recommit to the students and families they serve each day.

West Springfield is an award-winning community because of the people who make it special—and our strong public schools are a major part of that story. We are grateful for the teachers, administrators, support staff, and school leaders whose dedication helps our students learn, grow, and thrive.

Please join us in wishing the entire West Springfield Public Schools community a wonderful school year! 🍎💙🤍

Ready to conquer middle school drop-off next week? This one is for you.

There is just one week until summer break comes to an end—and we have a new traffic pattern for student drop-off at the middle school.

Please take a few minutes to review the updated route before the first day of school. Planning ahead, following posted signs and staff directions, and allowing a little extra time will help keep arrival safe, orderly, and efficient for students, families, buses, and our surrounding neighborhood.

Thank you for doing your part to help everyone start the school year safely and smoothly! 🎒🚗

Dreams really do come true. ⚾💙

The entire West Springfield Public Schools community is incredibly proud to congratulate Chris Torres on being selected in the 2026 Major League Baseball Draft!

His journey has been one of talent, perseverance, and countless hours of hard work. During his senior year at West Springfield High School, he helped lead the Terriers to a Western Massachusetts Championship, creating memories that our community will never forget.

What an incredible reflection of the talent that comes from our schools. Congratulations on this well-deserved accomplishment! We can’t wait to watch what comes next and will be cheering you on every step of the way.

Once a Terrier, always a Terrier! 🐾💙
