Mission Statement

The Agawam Public Schools’ District Mission is that all students who attend the Agawam Public Schools will graduate from high school, college, be career ready, and have the skills necessary to become productive members of an ever changing global society. For many students this journey begins here at the elementary level.

About Our School

William P. Sapelli Elementary School houses approximately 385 students in grades K-4. The staff and parents of William P. Sapelli School are committed to providing quality academic and social experiences in a safe environment to enable all students to learn and be successful. 

Visitors & Security

One of the best ways to provide a safe environment in which to learn is to know who is in the building at all times. Many thanks to everyone for their understanding with our sign-in procedures. Our buzzer system allows us to keep our doors locked throughout the school day. To enter the building, you must press a button outside the main entrance doors, this will alert the office to your presence and then we will ask for your name and the nature of your visit. We will then grant access to our visitors by pressing a button to unlock the door. Once inside, walk into the office, around the corner to the left. You will be asked to sign our office log, and will be given an identification badge in exchange for your car keys or license.

 Report Student Absence

Please call the school if your child is going to be absent. Call the main number at 413-821-0582.
You may then select the option "Absentee Mailbox" (press 1) from the automated menu.
If you need to speak directly to the office, press 7.
 
If you do not call the school, you will receive an automated phone call reporting your child absent from school.
 
Please do not call the nurse's office to report your child's absence. Thank You.
