Welcome to Sheffield Elementary School

Our school serves a student body of about 240 elementary students in grades 2–5. We are a Title I school located in Turners Falls, MA, and we offer free lunch and breakfast to all of our students. Our enthusiastic teachers and administrators are dedicated to providing the very best educational experiences. Our motto is Sheffield Pride!

This new website  is intended to be a convenient resource for parents, students, teachers, and community members of Sheffield Elementary School. We invite you to explore it to learn more about our school, and we hope you will lt us know if you have ideas about how it could be improved.

  the morning when the temperature is 20 degrees or warmer so make sure your child is dressed appropriately for being
  outside.
  · Again as the weather gets colder, please remind your child not to share hats so we minimize the spread of lice.
