Weekly Update
Hello Captain Isaac Paine School Families, please join us in thanking Dr. Barnes for all of his years of service and wishing him well in his future endeavors. As you surely know, Dr. Barnes has been a cornerstone of the Foster Glocester Regional School Department, the Foster School Department, and the entire community for more than three decades. His service spans from classroom teacher, to assistant superintendent, to superintendent, and everything else in between. His accomplishments are too great to list here and they have touched all of our schools, staff, students, and families. We will always remember Dr. Barnes as someone who cared greatly for his staff and students and worked tirelessly for all of us. Thank you Dr. Barnes for all you have done and all who you have touched. You will be missed!
As always, thank you for your support,
Dr. Audette
