Narragansett Regional High School

Principal’s Flyer #30: March 23, 2025

Dear Students & Families:

We sincerely hope you’ve enjoyed the weekend and are buoyed by the spring season.  With spring’s arrival we also welcome the start of MCAS spring testing.  Grade 10 students are reminded that we will take MCAS on Tuesday (3/25) and Wednesday (3/26) of this week.  Thanks for keeping up with the MCAS section of the memo below to demystify the logistics.  I’ve heard elementary principals remind students about MCAS in a low-key but helpful way that is applicable to all grades…students: relax, no stress and do your best, just show what you know.  We ask that students taking MCAS remember to bring fully charged chromebooks to school, arrive on time, and get a good night’s sleep! 

Don’t forget that our Little Mermaid Production (April 4, 5, & 6th) tickets are now available for purchase.  See additional information on the second page of this memo.  All families are reminded that this Friday is a half day for students.  As always on half days, dismissal will occur at 11:10 AM.  And finally, shout out to Ms. Guild’s Grade 8 students, who attended a field trip to learn more about sustainable farming as it intersects with their course readings.  Nice job also Warriors on not letting a little rain dampen your spirits on the field trip!

Attention Students in Grades 8-11…It is time to purchase a 2025 yearbook! Please reserve your copy today at:
