“In a global economy where the most valuable skill you can sell is your knowledge, a good education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity – it is  a prerequisite.  The countries that out-teach us today will out-compete us tomorrow.”

-President Barack Obama, February 24, 2009

School Choice 2010-2011 Print E-mail
Written by Robin Hamlett   

Parents are cordially invited to consider making a choice to enroll their child in the Gill-Montague Regional School District.  We know that parents are currently making important decisions about where their children will attend school next year.  We support the rights of parents to pursue the best possible education for their children and we believe our schools offer excellent education at every level.

We are now accepting applications for Intra and Inter School Choice students for the 2010-2011 school year.  Available seats will be published by May 1st.  Applications received by May 28th will be given first preference.  Applications received after May 28, 2010 will still be considered and we will be accepting choice students into our schools on an on-going basis.

District families who apply prior to May 28th for intra-district choice will be given preference over out of district applicants.  Applicants with siblings at a given school will be given preference over those without siblings.  If there are more applicants than seats for a given school and grade level a random drawing will be conducted and a waiting list will be established.

Any additional questions please contact Robin Hamlett at the Office of the Superintendent, 413-863-9324 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
