WE'RE RIDE COMMENDED !!!
Only 28 public schools in RI are Commended, and only 18 elementary schools.
Commended Schools are the schools that are the highest performing in the state. You may recall that we were Commended three years in a row during the final years of the NECAP Assessment. After we transitioned to PARCC, we were not rated as Commended for three years. We have worked hard as a learning community to achieve Commended Status again and we are proud of this accomplishment!
# 4 Elementary School in RI for NECAP Science Scores
Additionally, the Chariho District scored as the #3 district in the state.
Wow, we have come so far as a district and we need to keep reminding others in the state!
Lice Prevention Reminders
Here are some helpful ways to decrease exposure and increase identification.
- Ask your child to keep their coat/sweatshirt in their backpack at school
- Remind your child not to share hats, clothing, hairbrushes etc. with classmates
- Ask your child if their head is itchy
- Periodically check your child for lice at home. Use a bright light and check various parts of their head.
If you find lice or nits, you are encouraged to call our school nurse Mrs. Coulson. She has a wealth of tips and strategies that you can use at home immediately. We also know of a new local business where lice can be treated and eradicated.
