Activity Fees 2026-2027

August 2026  Dear Westborough Families: We are excited to kick off another year of student activities! Our goal is to foster and support the participation of all students in our vibrant programs, from clubs and music to theater and athletics. To help make this broad array of opportunities possible, we rely on activity fees. These contributions help us cover essential costs such as uniforms, transportation, supplies, and stipends for our dedicated coaches and advisors. We are so proud of the diverse activities available to our students and are grateful for your partnership in making them a success.  Please click on the link below to view the full Activity Fees Letter with detailed information for 2026-2027.

Welcome to the 2026-2027 School Year

Dear Westborough Families: I am so excited to welcome you to the 2026-2027 school year! Our school leaders, administrative staff, technology department, and facilities crew have been working throughout the summer to ensure our buildings are safe, clean, and well-equipped, and that everything is ready for the start of school. We just can’t wait to see the students! This year, our theme across the district is  connection and belonging . We believe that every student, family, and staff member should feel seen, safe, and valued in our school community. When each individual feels that they truly belong, they are better positioned to learn, grow, and thrive alongside their peers. As we look ahead, I want to highlight three key initiatives that reflect our commitment to supporting both a sense of belonging and a continued focus on academic excellence: Bell-to-bell phone-free initiative:  To foster deeper interpersonal connections and minimize distractions, we are implementing a phone-free environment during the school day for grades 7 through 12. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this has on student engagement and classroom interaction. Renewed focus on literacy:  We are sharpening our focus on literacy in our early grades to ensure every student builds the strong foundational skills necessary for long-term success. Responsible AI Integration:  We are continuing our ongoing work to ensure that the district’s approach to Artificial Intelligence supports and safeguards the learning process, keeping the human connection at the heart of our classrooms. On a practical note, within the next couple of days, you will receive a reminder to review and either confirm or update important information in PowerSchool, including handbook sign-offs, emergency contacts, and health information. Please review this information promptly when it arrives. We look forward to seeing your children soon. Thank you for your continued partnership, support, and trust. Sincerely, Allison F. Borchers Superintendent Westborough Public Schools borchersa@westboroughk12.org (508) 836-7700, ext. 2010
