Principal’s Flyer #26: February 26, 2023
Dear Warrior Students & Families:
We hope you’ve had a wonderful winter break, and that our students are feeling recharged and ready for the upcoming stretch of the school year between this coming Monday until April break, which begins the week of April 17th. This span of the year between winter and spring break marks a major stretch of uninterrupted learning, and is the time of year in which students’ academic growth accelerates. We’re very much looking forward to this great stretch, and hope you are too.
To kick off our week, we’re celebrating the Nationals Bound Cheer Team which held its annual Cheer Camp for 92 little Warriors across three days over break! And we’re also celebrating Jacob Pervier, who finished 4th at states in freestyle swim. Congratulations to these outstanding student athletes!
New Website and Warrior Media Live |
Just a reminder that as of last Friday, our new Warrior Website and application are now live. Here’s a picture of what your screen will look like if you are looking to download the Narragansett Application on Iphone/Android. A couple quick reminders as well:
The High School Facebook Page has changed to NRHS Warriors. The Principal’s Page is no longer active.
In addition to our App and Website, this is where you’ll find updates via social media.
We will continue to send our weekly memos via email for the next couple weeks, but please be advised that you can find them on the School News portion of our website.
