The Common
Dear Nashoba Families,
It is with great pleasure that I announce to you that the next principal of the Mary Rowlandson Elementary School will be Scott Blanchard.
Throughout the entire search process, Mr. Blanchard distinguished himself as a highly skilled administrator who holds the needs of students close to his heart. He demonstrated his capabilities as a visionary leader with his deep understanding of teaching and learning that will lead the Mary Rowlandson Elementary School to continued growth and academic excellence.
The feedback I received from the faculty, staff and students, as well as the community, was overwhelmingly supportive of Mr. Blanchard. It was frankly a mandate that Mr. Blanchard be chosen as the next principal. I couldn't agree more. As a humble leader, his dedication and commitment to Lancaster is tremendous, and I am confident he will be an outstanding principal for our students. Please join me in congratulating Scott Blanchard as the next principal of the Mary Rowlandson Elementary School.
I wish you all a wonderful weekend.
Peace,
Kirk Downing

A Snapshot of Nashoba's Full Day of Professional Learning, March 17th
Next Friday, the Nashoba Regional School District will convene for a full day of professional development for our Nashoba learning community, Pave Your Path, Nashoba! From inspiring speakers, including Nashoba's very own graduates and faculty, to interactive workshops, faculty and staff will explore new ideas, techniques, and innovative practices to deepen understanding in a collective effort to bring our Strategic Plan to life and create an even more impactful learning experience for our students.
The goal for this year's Full Day of Professional Learning is to provide Nashoba educators with...
- A snapshot of life after graduation from the perspective of our very own Nashoba graduates. Where are you now, Nashoba?
- Professional Development directly connected to our NRSD Strategic Plan and our Portrait of a Nashoba Graduate competencies
- A model of professional learning reflective of the UDL framework through choice in content and learning format along 7 learning paths: Pave Your Own Path, Curriculum Design and Alignment, Universal Design for Learning, Diversity/Equity/Inclusion/Belonging, Social Emotional Learning, Digital Tools to Support Learning, and Portrait of a Nashoba Graduate
Opening Session, Voices of Nashoba
This year, the Nashoba Regional School District will welcome the voices of Nashoba graduates to help bring our Portrait of a Nashoba Graduate to life. Abbie McCaffrey '14 and Paul Theriault '18 will share their Nashoba journey and how they have paved their path after graduation. Following our graduate speakers, we will showcase the premiere of our Voices of Nashoba video, a video representing a wide range of Nashoba graduates who will provide additional insight into the skills and competencies necessary for happiness and success in life after Nashoba.
