Evacuation Drill Today
Today, we held our first evacuation drill. We have two predeterminate locations that we can go to if we need to leave school property due to an emergency or safety issue. Please take with your child about our drills this morning and assure them that all practices help to keep them safe.
We are required to conduct regular safety drills at least monthly.

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 will be shared soon.
We are hopeful that we will retain our Commended Status.
