WESTBOROUGH – The 2024-2025 school year kicked off on Thursday, Aug. 22, with an orientation for new staffers.
Held at the library at Mill Pond Elementary School, the session included remarks from Allison Borchers, the new superintendent for Westborough Public Schools, and School Committee Chair Stephen Doret.
The new staffers also had a chance to talk about themselves, and their experiences. In response to what they did over the summer, one staffer became engaged, one got married, two went to Ireland, one did volunteer work in France, and one went to Munich, Germany.
“I love the process, and the chance to meet the staff,” said Chaya Rangaraj, a teacher who came to WPS from St. Bernadette’s in Northborough.
This year, she will be teaching fifth grade at Mill Pond.
“It’s very well organized,” said Christopher Dros, a math teacher who will be teaching at the high school.
Last year, he taught at Grafton High School.
The first day for staff and students is Wednesday, Aug. 28.
