What’s happening in June?
Field days, graduations, end-of-the-year family dances, picnics, and events! June is always a hectic and exciting time! We have our last two Literacy Nights this month, and our last food pantry Open Shopping Hour for this school year will be taking place on June 1st from 6 - 7 PM.
Please watch our social media and school websites for updates regarding summer learning requirements, suggested school supply lists, community events happening throughout the summer, and much more!
What’s Happening in Our Schools?
We had a wonderful round of coffee hours in May, some new faces, great feedback, innovative ideas, and as always, wonderful conversation. One of the ideas that came about was more ideas for local field trips for our students as bussing becomes more of a challenge due to pricing and time limits. Please click here and use this form to share your ideas for field trip locations. We look forward to continuing regular casual monthly discussions next year!
We are sharing all sorts of end-of-the-year fun on our Instagram and Facebook accounts, give us a Follow if you haven’t already! Keep an eye on the Warwick Public Schools website for job opportunities this summer and next year!

Love is reading one more book. In this exuberant board book, many different families are shown in happy activity, from an early-morning wake-up to a kiss before bed.”
