There are many exciting events planned throughout each school year.

We hope that you attend as many activities as possible. We would love to see you here!

The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.

To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programs of international education and rigorous assessment.

These programs encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.

WELCOME BROCKTON PARENTS & FAMILIES!

The Brockton Public Schools is pleased and proud to offer a very active, extensive and beneficial parent involvement program. We sincerely believe in the home-school-community partnership where all stakeholders come together to provide the most rewarding and enriching program for our city's children.

Parents are enthusiastically invited to visit the schools and get to know the teachers and administrators and to attend PAC/PTO or PTA meetings. Parents are encouraged to consider serving as school volunteers in our Partners in Excellence (PIE) program or possibly seeking a seat on their child's School Improvement Council or signing up for a series of helpful workshops at our Parents' Academy! Our parents have come well beyond the "bake sale" days, although fund-raising is still a necessary and worthwhile activity which helps provide extra-curricular opportunities for our school children.

Thousands of Brockton families and community members have bridged the home-school gap and joined our successful and collaborative effort.

If you have questions or wish to volunteer, please contact your school's Administrative Team or the Parent Information Center.

Thank you!

Plouffe Academy 2014-2016 School Improvement Plan

Every Brockton Public School has an individual School Improvement Plan, a two‐year strategic plan for schools to follow to achieve academic and non-academic goals. The plans are developed among school leadership, faculty and staff and serve as a blueprint for success.

School Improvement plans require school personnel to set challenging goals for student performance, and must articulate the strategies the school staff will use to reach their targets.

In addition to approving each school’s SIP, Central Office conducts three to four “Walk Throughs” per school per year to gather data and provide feedback to site-level leaders about how effectively the plans are being implemented. What’s exciting about this is that everyone recognizes the importance of this kind of feedback and is actively supporting this kind of valuable work – principals, teachers, administrators and union officials.
