Details: The Acton Public Schools School News Page

The Acton Public Schools is introducing a centralized web page where you can find out what is on the calendars of all the Acton-Boxborough Regional Public Schools. All the information you need is now in one convenient place.

When you go to the School News page, at the top of the page, you find a monthly calendar and a pop-up menu that lists the various Acton-Boxborough schools. Use the arrows at the top of the calendar to select a month, then use the pop-up menu to select the school whose events you want displayed. Then click on the LIST button to the right of the pop-up menu. All the events which have been entered into the School Events database for that month will list out.

To get back to the pop-up menu page in order to find out the events at another Acton-Boxborough school, click on the BACK button of your browser. When the pop-up menu page displays again, select another school and click on LIST.

NOTE: The sponsors of events are responsible for entering up-coming events in the Event Database. If the School News page does not list an event, it may be because the sponsor has not yet entered that event into the Database.
