It's a Slow Cooker kind of summer! In this free cooking class for adults ages 18+, we will be using the library's mobile kitchen cart to learn some basic knife-cutting skills and prepare fresh vegetables from the local Farmer's Market to freeze now and cook later in your own slow cooker. Registration info is listed on the photo. Class size is limited and only a few spots remain. Cuisine à La Carte is an educational cooking program offered by the Woonsocket Library. Funding for the mobile kitchen cart is provided by the Rhode Island Office of Library and Information Services (OLIS) using funds received from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).

Dear WED Community,

Tragically, today we have heard the news of yet another school shooting in our country. Our hearts and prayers go out to the families of all of the innocent victims in Uvalde, Texas. Undoubetedly, the news of this unimaginable tragedy will have an affect on students and staff throughout the country and in the Woonsocket Education Department.

Please know that this evening we have communicated with our principals, social workers, school counselors, and mental health support staff to be prepared and on-call to support students and staff who may be frightened, shaken or saddened by this tragedy when they return to school tomorrow and throughout the week. If your child(ren) are experiencing trauma from this incident, please contact your student's teacher, social worker, or principal so that we can best support them.

The safety of our students and staff are of the utmost importance. Therefore, please know that the Woonsocket Education Department does have district safety procedures and protocols that are practiced regularly at each school campus, and are reviewed yearly by the school administration, district administration, and school resource officers to ensure the safety of all students and staff.

Please keep the victims and their families in your thoughts and prayers.

Patrick McGee, Ed.D.

Superintendent of Schools

Dear WED Families,

Just a reminder that Wednesday, May 11, 2022 is the final District-Wide Professional Development Day for all teachers and staff in the WED. As a result, this Wednesday will be an asynchronous distance learning day for all students. This counts as a day of school for all students. Therefore, please ensure that your child(ren) bring their Chromebooks home on Tuesday afternoon as teachers will post assignments for the day on Google Classroom and on slide decks. Teachers and staff will not be available to interact directly with students as they will be in professional development sessions throughout the day. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Patrick McGee, Ed.D.

Superintendent

Workplace Investigation! 😊
