It is that time of year again for school alerts regarding closings due to weather. However, the RIBA system is used for other school closings as well. If you have not signed up for a text or email alert, the following link https://my.textcaster.com/asa/Default.aspx?ID=6d6b22e1-242f-46b3-ae4f-e01582e9a14c can be used. This is our method of letting you know when school is closed or delayed. You can also find the information on turnto10 or your favorite local stations. We begin exams this Thursday, 1/17. They run up and including next Wednesday 1/23. Monday, 1/21 the school is closed. Please plan to pick up your students from 11:00 AM on each day of exams. They should be in silent study each day in the library and will be released when you arrive to pick them up. If you are not here right at the close of each exam session, just text them when you arrive. If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email. Parent conferences will be held on March 7 from 5-7 at the high school. There will be more information when the date gets closer. For planning purposes, April 9, 2019, all grade 10 students will be taking the PSAT and the grade 11 students the SAT and must report to school at the regular time. Both tests are mandatory state assessment requirements. The students taking the SAT and PSAT will be released at the completion of the testing period. Lunches will be available at the end of the session and students may take the regular scheduled buses at 1:37 if they do not have a ride when the testing period is over. Grade 9 students will have the day away from school and may use the time to complete some of their graduation required 10 hours of community service. Our Grade 12 students will also have time away from school and they may use choose to complete any loose ends on their senior projects they will be presenting in May. All teachers will be available should either group need any support.

Bank of America Student Leaders®, has just launched their application for the upcoming year and is hoping to recruit high school Juniors and Seniors through this partnership. The Student Leaders® program helps connect 225 community-minded high school juniors and seniors from across the country to employment, skills development, and community service. Five Rhode Island students are selected locally and awarded a paid summer internship with a local Boys and Girls Club and participate in a national leadership summit in Washington, D.C. The Student Leaders Summit focuses on skill building and creating a more civically engaged society. Students with a passion for leadership, a need to build confidence, or simply a desire to improve their community should check Naviance for details.

Today Juniors learned about paid summer internship opportunities as part of the PrepareRI initiative. Interested students can see Mrs. Mayne in guidance for application (which opens December 3rd) information.

Join Mr. Ward and Mr. Krom on Monday evening, starting at 6:30PM, in the auditorium for an informal Q&A around financial aid and sending students off to college.

DID YOU KNOW?....Using e-cigarettes and other vaping products is not a proven method for quitting smoking. E-cigarettes and other vaping devices would be a preferred alternative to traditional cigarettes when used exclusively as a replacement and only among smokers who have been unable to quit smoking using proven, medically approved methods. However, there is little evidence that they reliably reduce cigarette smoking or lead to smoking cessation. In fact, the nicotine contained in e-cigarettes and other vaping products may actually perpetuate addiction, in some cases making it even harder to quit smoking.
