Good morning,
This week’s Backpack Express is ready for your reading pleasure:
RIDE Designation: We are proud to announce that Sowams School has been designated as a 5 STAR school from the Rhode Island Department of Education. RIDE uses various pieces of data to determine their rating of schools. We have received RIDE’s highest rating. To see RIDE’s accountability reports for any school, you may click here. The 5 STAR rating is a testament to the hard work and dedication to our entire Sowams community.
PTO Information:

PTO Meeting: The next PTO meeting will be Monday, January 6, 2025. This is an in-person meeting at Sowams starting at 7:00 PM.
Third Grade Chorus Concert: Our Third Grade Chorus has two performances tomorrow. The first one is for our students and the second one is for parents. Parents are invited to the performance at 1:45. Please remember, if you are planning on taking your child home with you at the end of the performance, you must send a note to school in the morning. If we do not receive a note from you, your child will go home their normal Thursday way.
School Vacation: There is no school from December 23, 2024, through January 1, 2025. School will resume at 7:55 in the morning on Thursday, January 2, 2025.
Late Students: Just a reminder that school begins at 7:55 each day. Students are late if they are not here by that time. Please make it a goal for 2025 to have your child to school on time each day.
On behalf of everyone at Sowams School, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and Happy New Year and enjoy the vacation week.
Best,
Jim Callahan
Principal
Sowams School Mission: Everyone learns every day.
Sowams School Vision: Sowams School will engage students to be their best selves.
