Superintendent's Message to the Community
September 2024
Dear Cranston Public Schools community,

Welcome Back to School! I'm thrilled to welcome you to the 2024 school year! Our school district has been around since 1828, and while much has changed since then, the excitement of a new school year remains the same.
 
This year promises growth, learning, and new experiences for all our students. Our staff worked hard all summer to prepare. Teachers have created welcoming classrooms and engaging lessons. We want every student to feel important and have the support they need to succeed.
 
We have an exciting year ahead, and everyone's involvement is key! It's important for students and teachers to be in school every day. Kids learn best when they're in school on time, all day, every day they're healthy. Students who arrive late feel disorganized and disconnected from class activities.  No amount of make-up work can replace being present for lessons and classroom engagement.
