NS Students at Special Olympics Youth Forum
On Saturday, January 21 eight students from North Smithfield High School, Avery Beatty, Cara Figuerido, Ainslie Gibbs, Amanda Guilmette, Kelsey Henault, Ashley Fontaine, Tara Bergeron, April Godin, Jonathan Krupski, attended the Special Olympics Rhode Island Youth Forum. Students from schools throughout Rhode Island joined together on this day to achieve the ultimate goal of changing misconceptions and negative stereotypes about people with intellectual disabilities and educating students about the value and talents of every human being. The day consisted of many interactive workshops, guest speakers, team building and leadership activities. Our students learned about ways to improve our Unified Sports Program including the “Fans in the Stands” for the sports events, information regarding Spread the Word to End the Word campaign and ways to promote positive interactions between ALL students.
Student Scheduling, Mid-term Exams, SurveyWorks
Attached below are three important documents. The first two (SurveyWorks and student scheduling) were sent home with students on Thursday, January 5th. The mid-term exam schedule will be mailed home. Please review each of these documents carefully.
The SurveyWorks survey is distributed by the RI Department of Education. The information received from these surveys is used to determine future decisions by the state and by local districts. It is strongly encouraged that all parents take the time to fill out this important survey.
The scheduling document includes important information about how students will go about choosing their classes for next year. It is strongly encouraged that all parents and students review this document carefully and follow the directions.
