Superintendent Stefan Czaporowski and Mayor Michael McCabe are asking the public to stay off the new athletic fields at Westfield High School while they are still under construction.
Czaporowski said the city asked the school district to get the word out due to the increase in trespassing at the site. He said that some people have pushed through the fencing and gates to use the track, causing concern and even some confrontations between members of the public and the general contractor’s staff.
“What’s happening is people are going in there. It’s an active construction site, and I don’t want anybody getting hurt,” Czaporowski said.
A similar message was sent by McCabe’s office, asking the public to respect the No Trespassing signs. “Although construction is progressing, the project has not yet been completed or accepted by the City and Westfield Public Schools. Until that time, the site remains under the control of the contractor and is closed to the public,” the city said.
“Unauthorized access to the construction site presents safety and liability concerns and may damage the playing surface or other project components before installation is complete,” the city continued. “The area is posted No Trespassing, and those restrictions remain in effect until the project has been officially completed and opened.”
Christopher Rogers, director of operations and safety for Westfield Public Schools, said, at this time, no teams, coaches, players, or community members are permitted on the field for the safety of everyone involved and the protection of the new playing surface and surrounding infrastructure.
“We know everyone is eager to get out on the new field, and we share that excitement. However, entering the site before the project is complete could delay construction, damage the new facility, or create unnecessary safety risks,” Rogers said.
“Thank you for your cooperation and support as we work to complete this outstanding facility for our students and the Westfield community,” said Rogers.

For the third year in a row, Armbrook Village residents teamed up with Westfield High School students at the end of the school year for the “Past Meets Present” initiative.
“This intergenerational program allows today’s seniors and students to connect and learn from one another’s experiences,” said Armbrook Director of Community Relations Jayda Handzel.
This year, 26 freshmen in social studies teacher Nicole Hamel’s AP history class invited 12 seniors from Armbrook to come to the school over several visits and bring objects from their lives that were important to them. The seniors were paired up with students who wrote about the artifacts and the history and importance behind them.
Between high school trophies and keepsakes from the 1994 Paris Olympic Games, the Westfield students were deeply drawn to not only which items each senior brought in, but also the personal meaning that they held, Handzel said.
Students then got their chance to present to seniors, faculty, and family in a museum-style exhibit, in which each student shared what they learned from their conversations with the seniors. Not only were students able to enhance their history knowledge, but seniors also learned about their neighbors’ past experiences, contributing to Armbrook Village’s goal of building connection and community, she said.
The Past Meets Present Initiative took off in 2024, when Armbrook Village partnered with Westfield High School’s AP History class, taught by Nicole Hamel, to bring their Dementia Friendly training to younger generations. In an effort to promote understanding and compassion toward those living with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, Armbrook Village worked to make Westfield the first dementia friendly city on the east coast in 2014. Since then, Armbrook has hosted numerous trainings for students, healthcare workers and the general public.
“The Past Meets Present Project cultivates a sense of purpose within our residents. Not only does it positively affect our residents, but it also has a lasting impact on the students, teaching them empathy, patience, and a deeper understanding of how the things that they learn about in textbooks actually were real-life experiences,” Handzel said.

Welcome Class of 2030! Please join us for Freshman Orientation on August 26, 2026 from 9-11 AM.
We are proud to recognize the hard work and academic achievements of our Honor Roll students.
Westfield Public Schools and Offices are closed on Friday, July 3, 2026, in observance of Independence Day. Happy Birthday, America!
Please see the attached information regarding Summer Credit Recovery.
After a year-long focus on attendance, Superintendent Stefan Czaporowski and Christopher Rogers, director of operations and safety, said they met their goals to improve the daily attendance rate and reduce chronic absenteeism.
“We did well. We met our goals,” said Rogers, who runs the District Attendance Task Force that meets monthly throughout the year. School Committee member Kathleen Hillman and a representative from each school are on the team. He said they review data, share their best practices and collaborate.
Czaporowski said the total daily attendance rate improved to 93.4% this school year, compared to an average daily rate of 92.7% in the 2024-25 school year.
Rogers said a year ago, chronic absenteeism was at 20.8%. He said the goal for this year was to reduce it to 19.5%, and they ultimately achieved 17.6%. “We’re basically almost 2% lower than our goals,” he said.
Looking at chronic absenteeism in sub-groups, the rate of chronic absenteeism for students in special education dropped from 28.5% last year to 25% this year. “We met that goal of exactly 25%.”
Rogers said the district beat its goal for English language learners as a group, which had a chronic absenteeism rate of 30% last year and ended up at 23% this year.
“Part of the reason we focused specifically on special education and English language learners was the achievement gap; looking at attendance, we believe that had something to do with it. Our goal was to get high needs kids in their classes,” Czaporowski said.
One of the strategies they used was home visits with mentors and other staff members to understand what barriers were keeping students from coming to school. “By going to the homes, we learned why students weren’t coming,” Czaporowski said.
“The task force will continue its work,” said Czaporowski. “I also give a lot of credit to our principals and their site teams. They made a big push on attendance this year, along with the district. Each team came up with strategies to get their kids in school.”
“Attendance will remain a focus for us as we move forward. We know that for students that come regularly to school, socially, emotionally and academically, their potential for growth increases exponentially,” Czaporowski said. “It was a very good year, and we look forward to welcoming everybody back in the fall.”

On June 15, the Westfield Community-Based Transition Program hosted its annual Bridge to Adulthood Ceremony to celebrate four graduates who are all aging out of the program.
The evening ceremony’s honorees included Ibrahim Al Nageeb, Chris Barber, Finley Gilmet and Jocelyn Monjares-Abundes.
According to organizers, the program supports students with disabilities who have aged out of the traditional school system but require additional assistance in developing the skills needed for independent adult living.
“The transition from student to adult life is a significant milestone. Our program is designed for students aged 18 to 22, focusing on the individual vision for each student,” said Carolyn Busiere, head teacher of the Westfield Community-Based Transition Program. “Whether that involves functional academics, independent living or professional internships.”
Through the program, students gain valuable real-world experiences and opportunities to build independence. Participants are also able to take part in inclusive college and educational programs through partnerships with Westfield State University’s Inclusive Postsecondary Education program and Holyoke Community College’s Massachusetts Inclusive Postsecondary Education program.
These partnerships provide students with meaningful educational experiences, opportunities for social engagement, and career preparation as they transition into adulthood, according to leaders of the program.
In addition to educational and career-focused opportunities, students participate in a variety of daily activities designed to strengthen their independence and life skills. These experiences include visits to local organizations and attractions such as the YMCA and the Springfield Science Museum, daily walks, participation in a sewing club and other community-based activities.
The Bridge to Adulthood Ceremony was held at Shaker Farms Country Club, where students, faculty, and family members gathered to celebrate the graduates’ accomplishments. The event featured speeches recognizing each student’s achievements, a dinner that included chicken parmesan, meatballs, pasta, salad, rolls, beverages and dessert, and a heartfelt slideshow showcasing memorable moments and milestones from each graduate’s journey through the program.
Busiere concluded the ceremony with words of encouragement for the graduates.
“To our students aging out, your individual differences are not just traits; they are your greatest strengths,” said Busiere. “You are lifelong learners and productive members of this community. As you move forward into this new chapter, keep smiling and continue to make a positive impact on the world around you.”

Not. This. Time. The Chicopee Comprehensive Colts beat two of the state’s premier boys volleyball teams during the regular season, knocking off Westfield and Agawam in back-to-back contests. The Bombers were more than ready for the rematch.

One year ago, a senior pitcher by the name of Shea Hurley led the Westfield High School softball team to a Western Massachusetts championship. Without their field general, the Bombers stumbled to a 2-7 start this season.
Westfield finished strong down the stretch, winning three of its final four games, and then made some noise in the PVIAC tournament with a thrilling quarterfinal win over Longmeadow and a narrow defeat to eventual runner-up Agawam.
Although it was the end to Westfield’s quest to defend its Western Mass crown, it has not deterred them from attempting to make yet another run.
Westfield pitcher Hailey Zanolli tossed a two-hitter, allowing just one run and no walks while striking out 10 batters, outdueling Gabrianna Arigghi to help the No. 31 Bombers advance past No. 34 Bristol Plymouth, 3-1, in a Division 2 state tournament preliminary round game on Friday.
Westfield advances to play second-seeded Marshfield (18-2) in the Round of 32 on the road Sunday at 1 p.m.
