Wawaloam School

Wawaloam Families, Currently, we have 188 families that participated in the Survey Works survey and are able to participate in the gift certificate raffle. Please help us reach our participation goal of 100% by the end of this month. It's not too late!! If you are a NEW participant email us or send in a note to let us know you took the survey so you can be added to the raffle. This will be our last big push to try to increase the number of families participating in the school survey distributed by the RI Department of Education. These survey results are used for many purposes! We are able to look at your responses and know where our strengths lie and where we need to work harder. The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and your participation is essential. Make sure your voice is heard. You can take the short survey online until the window closes on March 31.

So much fun on day 101!

Exeter – West Greenwich School District Kindergarten Registration 2021-2022 February 1- April 30 Tuesday through Thursday Hours 10:00 am-2:00 pm Registration packets are available online at our website: http://wawaloam.ewgrsd.org/ or Wawaloam School

Dear Wawaloam School Community, We know that moving to Distance Learning is not what we would choose for our students, but it was the best decision. Since Thanksgiving, we have had more confirmed staff cases of Covid and thankfully additional staff/student quarantine measures were not required because our school was closed during their infectious periods. However, with additional staff members testing positive and their return to school dates from quarantine scheduled throughout next week- staffing will continue to present a challenge at Wawaloam School. For that reason, we are continuing the Distance Learning status for Wawaloam for next week and will have a return date for in-person learning on Monday, December 14. This date is assuming there are no additional confirmed cases that make opening and staffing our school a challenge. This decision was made this morning and we wanted to get this information to you as soon as possible for planning purposes. We appreciate your understanding and recognition that this decision is made in the best interest of the health and safety for our school community. Melissa Marino
