I EXITUS: The year 1973 will mark the end of double sessions. What will be the changes in the Sutton School System? SPENCE: The biggest change will be the movement of grades 6, 7, and 8 to the present elementary school, which will then be called the middle school, and the movement of grades K - 5 into the new elementary school. All music programs and most of the assembly programs will then be conducted at the new school. As it stands now, most group activities upset the gym program because it is necessary to set up chairs. The auditorium in the new school seats 361 people, and has a large stage which will be used for plays and concerts If small groups or clubs need a room for meet- ings, they may use the elementary conference rooms or the teacher's dining room after school. 32 Gordon J Spence Superintendent EXITUS: How will the middle school change? SPEN CE: The movement of the junior high to the present elementary school will' result in the reduction of the number of students per class. These students will be required to take courses in art, music, drama, home ec, and woodworking. The students will attend these classes every day for one quarter. In this way the students are involved continuously. The middle school will also hold assemblies in the elementary school. Seventh and eighth grade gym classes will be held in the elementary school before those students arrive. EXITUS: What were the reasons for the loss of accreditation and will accreditation be re- tumed to Sutton schools? SPENCE: Loss of accreditation was due to the lack of facilities and double sessions. The New England Association of Colleges and Sec- ondary Schools felt that Sutton students were not being exposed to the same advantages that other school systems maintain. To regain accreditation we must send in a self-evalua- tion and invite a visiting team to evaluate the high school. They will recommend to the as- sociation whether or not Sutton High School should be accredited. At the present we have been recognized as a candidate for accredita- tion. This is the first step towards accredita- tion. Sutton became a recognized candidate because the community had made a commit- ment to build a new elementary school and renovate the high school.
