What’s new at EWS?

As part of our ongoing Safety update the District has made the following changes at EWS..  The new entry hall window into the main office is operational and new safety doors and windows have been added to our lobby.  We will also have a new visit pass system so please be ready to have your ID scanned each time you visit us.  

These updates would not have been possible without the commitment of the Marshfield School Committee, the collaboration of MPD and town meeting funding.  Thank you for helping to make EWS even safer.

In addition, EWS will be welcoming three Preschool classes which have been moved from MES.  These are district-wide Integrated Preschool Programs housed at EWS.  For information regarding these programs please contact the Early Childhood Office (located at DWS):

The District has rolled out a new website which will have an app for parents to put on their phones where youl will be notified of any school updates.  More informaiton will be coming from our tech department.  Please be patient with us as we roll out our new webiste, it has a different look and we are currently being trained on how to use it.    EWS      MPSD
