Dear Tiverton Parents and Guardians,
As we near the end of the school year, only 12 days remain. This time is filled with various celebratory events across our schools, one of the most notable being the celebration of our retirees. This year, we are bidding farewell to two esteemed members of our staff: Ranger Principal Manny Cabral and high school math teacher Therese Roy. Both have made significant contributions to our school system, and we wish them great success in their future endeavors.
Throughout the spring, our district has continued to thrive educationally. Many of our students have engaged in project-based learning activities, utilized multiple technologies, and participated in other outstanding learning experiences. With SAT, PSAT, RICAS, and AP testing now behind us, early indications suggest that our students have performed admirably.
We look forward to a successful final 12 days of this school year and then turning our attention to preparing for the 2024-2025 school year.
