• We set the bar high for students, so it is right that we set the bar higher for ourselves as educators. That means leading from a place of collaboration, celebration, love, and an unrelenting drive to provide the highest quality public education for every student who joins us at the Roland Hayes School.

    Educators at Hayes School are engaged in constant school-wide conversations around mindset, the complex and intricate connections between teaching practice and student outcomes, and how to nurture classroom and school cultures in which students feel in control of their own learning.  As parents and grandparents, you also have a powerful perspective on this work, and we welcome your insights on the joys, struggles, and growth your child experiences during the school year.

    The Hayes School faculty has received a number of prestigious grants and awards, and has been recognized for their excellence in teaching locally and nationally. The school fosters community in many ways, including: fall Field Day. student affinity groups, providing support for our Gay- Lesbian-Transgender-Straight Alliance (grades 6-8), hosting a Young Scholars Program for students of color (grades 4-8), by electing representatives in grades 4-8 to serve on Student Council, and much more. A number of school-wide events are held throughout the year as well as author visits, performances, and our own middle school play. Each class has a partnership with an older or younger grade and share in joint activities throughout the year.  Student Council representatives help coordinate the Holiday Toy Drive and food drive for the Brookline Pantry. Students in grade four are in charge of recycling and a third grade class manages the Lost and Found. 

    The PTO plays an important role in the school and organizes many events to encourage parent participation. Family events include a Welcome Back Social, Family Game Night, Family Book Clubs, International Night, Art Show!, and the Mayfair. All families are members of the PTO.

    We enjoy teaching your children, and cherish our time with them.

    Sincerely, 

    Dr. Asa Sevelius, Principal
