All of the components of stop-motion animation will be covered. From capturing your series of pictures to learning basic video and audio editing techniques, all to create a finished animated video!
This program is open to students in grades 5-12. Registration is requested to guarantee your seat.Friday, February 24 - Slider Puzzle Design - all day in YA

SurveyWorks - Family Survey
Dear Parents:
The Rhode Island Department of Education is currently administering its annual SurveyWorks Family Survey, which is an opportunity for family members to provide feedback about our school community and our children’s opportunities to learn. The survey results are most useful when all families participate, so I am writing to ask you to participate in this survey.
Your views on matters like the safety of your child at school, the way students are taught, the condition of the school, and how connected you feel to this school are important. By taking this short survey, you can help our school leadership and school community to make improvements. Responses are anonymous and cannot be linked to any individual; no one can tie your responses back to you.
You can take the short survey online between January 17 and March 31. To take the survey, visit: CLICK HERE. Choose your school from the dropdown list. Thank you
SurveyWorks - encuesta familiar
Estimados padres:
El Departamento de Educación de Rhode Island está realizando su Encuesta anual para padres en SurveyWorks, una oportunidad para que los padres nos hagan llegar comentarios sobre nuestra escuela y sobre las oportunidades de aprendizaje de nuestros niños. Los resultados de la encuesta son más valiosos cuando participan todos los padres, por lo que le estoy escribiendo para pedirle que participe en esta encuesta.
Son muy importantes sus puntos de vista sobre la seguridad de sus hijos en la escuela, las formas en que se imparte enseñanza a sus hijos, las condiciones de la escuela y qué grado de conexión tiene usted con esta escuela. Al completar esta breve encuesta, ayudará al liderazgo de nuestra escuela y a nuestra organización de padres-maestros a introducir mejoras en nuestra escuela. Las respuestas son anónimas y no pueden vincularse con ninguna persona; nadie puede relacionar sus respuestas con usted.
Usted podrá completar esta breve encuesta en línea o en papel, entre del 17 de enero al 31 de marzo. Para tomar la encuesta, visite: bit.ly/ridefamily . Seleccione la escuela el siguiente cuadro y después selecione el idioma en la parte izquierda de arriba.Muchas gracias,

Updated Scholarship List - 02/17/23
CLICK HERE for a list of current scholarships!
Many of the scholarships listed are online scholarships. The general rule is if the scholarship listed has a link that means the application is online. If the scholarship on the list does not have an online link then the paper application is in Guidance in the filing cabinet under the "Scholarship" sign! (To the right of Ms. Gorman's desk)
For every scholarship you apply for you will need to fill out a Blue Transcript Request form. Those forms are available in Guidance on the table in front of Ms. Gorman's desk. If you are not able to come to Guidance you can email Ms. Gorman @ joanngorman@npsri.net and she will forward you an electronic fillable form.
