Black Rock School

A Nuturing Community Where Childen Are Primary!

Black Rock Elementary School is a Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 3 school of approximately 250 students that is nestled within the lovely hills of Litchfield County. We actively support students in their learning, academic, and social development. We are fortunate to have a knowledgeable, dedicated staff that supports our students in fostering a positive collaboration with a wonderful parent base. Each year, our school selects goals for our own emphasis on learning. It also allows us to focus our energies on a common purpose and establish a cooperative community working together for student success. Our goals for the 2025-2026 school year are:


  • Improve student learning outcomes in language arts and mathematics
  • Engage in continuous professional growth and improvement
  • Partner with parents and the community at large in supporting the children of Thomaston
  • Adopt a districtwide curriculum alignment policy requiring POG competencies in all PreK–12 ELA curriculum documents by June 2026
  • Adopt a streamlined family-school communication policy by June 2026


The purpose of our goals is to enhance the learning experience for all students at Black Rock School. It also allows us to direct our energies towards a common goal and establish a cooperative community working together for student success.
