SurveyWorks 2022 is Live!
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.
You can take the short survey online between February 28th and March 31.
To take the survey, click the button below and choose your school from the dropdown list.
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.
Last year, more than 119,000 educators, students, and parents participated in #SurveyWorks. This year, let's make SurveyWorks even bigger!

A Note from Narragansett Prevention Partnership |
|
Dear Parents/Guardians:
February is American Heart Month, which makes this the perfect time to continue talking about vaping. Vapes, like cigarettes, contain nicotine, a dangerous and highly addictive chemical. Among other things, nicotine causes an increase in blood pressure and heart rate and a build-up of plaque in arteries, which can lead to a heart attack. According to research published by the American College of Cardiology, people who vape were one-third more likely to suffer a stroke and 56% more likely to have a heart attack than non-users. This becomes particularly important because one JUUL pod or disposable Puff Bar contains 20 cigarettes (1 pack!) worth of nicotine. It is also important to note that nicotine stays in the human system for 6-8 hours after use. READ MORE

NHD Call for Judges
NPS is looking for community judges for the 2022 National History Day contest scheduled for Tuesday, March 8, 2022.
The goal of NHD is to provide young people with a high-quality, educational experience. Students choose a research topic under a theme, this year being “Debate and Diplomacy in History” and work individually or in groups to create a website, documentary, exhibit, performance or paper to display their thesis and research.
As a judge, your spoken and written comments on their ability to defend a thesis are fundamental to making the History Day contest a learning process. By acting as a judge, you will also help the NHD committee to select two projects from your assigned category to represent the Pier School on Saturday, April 9, 2022 at the Rhode Island State-Level NHD Contest hosted by the Rhode Island Historical Society.
