News and Events

If you have not yet completed your child’s Beginning-of-Year (BOY) Forms in PowerSchool, please do so as soon as possible. These forms provide our school with the most current and important information about your child, including contact and health information. Keeping these forms up to date helps us make sure we have the information we need to best support and care for your child throughout the school year. Thank you for taking a few minutes to complete them!

Thank You, Springbrook Families!

A huge thank you to all of our families who joined us for Open House last night!

Your enthusiasm and support truly help make Springbrook such a special place to be!

We also want to give a big thank you to our amazing PTO for hosting our first Book Fair of the school year! It was a huge success, and we are so grateful for all the time, effort, and excitement they put into making it happen.

We are so thankful for our wonderful Springbrook community!

 Every Family Can Help

 

Good Morning WPS Families,

We hope that you have all been able to enjoy some rest and relaxation over these too-short summer months.  We are beyond excited to be gearing up to welcome our students back beginning next Tuesday!

With record-breaking achievement gains being made and expanded Career and Technical Education and Advanced Placement opportunities available at WHS, new principal leadership at both WMS and Springbrook Elementary, and a bright and beautiful State Street School opening, SY 26-27 promises to be another exciting and productive year.

Please continue to keep an eye out for announcements and information from your child’s principal and/or teachers for the latest on everything you’ll need to know about transportation, arrival and dismissal procedures, behavioral and academic expectations and more. And please do not hesitate to reach out to our team with any questions that may remain.

Please also be reminded that in accordance with Rhode Island General Law, WPS has a new policy taking effect with respect to electronic communication devices. All smart phones, smart watches, air pods (or similar) are to be off and away for the entirety of the school day. We hope parents will join us as we work to redirect our students away from social media distraction and back toward more authentic socialization and renewed focus on learning and growing together in real life.

As many are aware, I am retiring at the end of next week. The Central Administration team and the School Committee are currently working together to plan next steps for identifying and hiring the district’s next superintendent. Since 2017, it has been my honor and privilege to serve this community and I look forward to watching WPS continue to grow and thrive; albeit, from a different perspective.

Thank you and best wishes for a great 26-27 in Bulldog Nation.

 

Sincerly,

Mark Garceau, Superintendent
