Mansfield Public Schools

Dear Mansfield Families,

I would like to begin by expressing my sincere gratitude for the partnership and support you show for our schools and students. Over the past week, as we launched our Strategic Planning process, I had the opportunity to participate in focus group conversations with families, students, staff, and community members. In these discussions, I heard many examples of the meaningful relationships that exist across our schools and the ways our educators work collaboratively with students and families to support our students. Your continued engagement and commitment help strengthen our schools and reflect the shared values that guide our work.

As we look ahead, Mansfield Public Schools has begun the development of a new Strategic Plan. A team of approximately 30 individuals including district leaders, staff members, students, parents, and School Committee representatives will work together to review district information and data to identify four to five broad priority areas that will guide our future direction. This process is an important opportunity to reflect on our strengths, consider areas for growth, and ensure that we continue to provide high-quality learning experiences and a strong sense of belonging for every student.

An essential part of this process is hearing directly from our families. I encourage you to take a few minutes to complete the strategic planning survey and share your perspective. The survey will take approximately 10–15 minutes to complete, and your feedback will help shape the priorities that guide our work in the years ahead.

Please click on this link to take the survey.

Thank you for your continued partnership and for contributing your voice to this important process. Together, we will build on the strong foundation of our mission, vision, and core values as we plan for the future of Mansfield Public Schools.

Warm regards,

Superintendent of Schools

March is Youth Arts Month. Youth Art Month is celebrated nationally each March and emphasizes the value of art education for all children and encourages support for quality art programs in schools. Arts education embodies critical, analytical, and conceptual thinking and allows for exploration of varied cultures, concepts and perspectives to prepare students to be better global citizens.

Mansfield High School is proud to announce that it will recognize Youth Art Month with displays of student artwork at several locations around Mansfield starting with the Mansfield Public Library and Council on Aging from March 5-31, 2026. Other locations will include Hometown Bakery and Bluestone Bank. The artwork created by students from grades 9-12, are enrolled in art classes at the high school. The works were selected by art teachers Jennifer Martinelli, Kerry McIntyre, Cheyenne Frausto and Derek Harding.
