As you are aware by now, beginning on Monday, March 23, our East Greenwich School District is moving to distance learning for all grades. We appreciate the collective effort of our community to ensure our families, faculty, staff are supported during this transition, and we keep the wellness and safety of our community a top priority.
I would like to highlight a few important updates:
-
This distance learning period is scheduled through Friday, April 3, however, the Governor and R.I. Department of Education will be re-evaluating this policy and providing further direction regarding public school plans moving forward.
-
All students in our District have a free Chromebook available to them for use. We have had hundreds of families take advantage of our Chromebook pick-up window. Should you need support with a Chromebook, please contact our technology support team at [email protected]
