PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Pittsfield Public Schools have launched an interactive map to help inform families about their students' elementary placements for the fall. 

Interim Superintendent Latifah Phillips walked the School Committee through it last week. The map allows family members to input their address or click on a street cluster to see how they are affected by the closure of Morningside Community School in the fall. 

Students will be reassigned to Allendale, Capeless, Egremont, and Williams elementary schools. 

"Everyone got a letter, but this is just an additional tool," Phillips said. 

"And especially as families are moving into Pittsfield, they would be able to go on to this, put in their address, and no matter where you live in the city, it will let you know." 

She used the Mercer Administration Building at 269 First St. as an example; this address was assigned to Morningside this year and Williams next year. 

Based on the interactive map, the attendance area bounded by Tyler Street, Woodlawn Avenue, Perrine Avenue, North Street, and Springside Park, where students previously attended Morningside, will be assigned to Allendale. 

Morningside students who live between Tyler Street, North Street, and the railroad tracks next to East Street will attend Williams.
