Charlestown School Updates
For members of our learning community - October 19th, 2018
Progress Reports Issued Today
There are NO scheduled parent conferences days this year in the school calendar. Conferences will be scheduled following parent requests to teachers. Please contact your child's teacher if you have any concerns or questions and/or would like to meet in person to discuss your child.
Teachers will be nominating some students for Student of the Trimester. We recognize students who have demonstrated perseverance towards personal learning goals. We celebrate some students at the end of each trimester during a special breakfast reception. I look forward to recognizing some of our students in early December.

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. We have worked hard as a learning community to achieve Commended Status again and we are proud of this accomplishment!
Last Spring, our 3rd and 4th graders participated in RICAS testing. We were impressed with the effort of our students during the four days of testing. RICAS results have been delayed. We are hopeful that we will retain our Commended Status.
